Blind ie. YOLO signing has long been one of Ethereum’s biggest UX and security problems.
With ERC-7730 and the accompanying proposals a CROPS aligned broad solution is possible.
The talk will explain the blind signing problem, how decoding works with ERC7730, current registry setup, onchain registry with attestations, and showcase Sourcify’s clear signing SDK, a plug and play tool to add human-readable transactions for wallets and apps
Blind, or “YOLO,” signing remains one of Ethereum’s biggest UX problems. Existing solutions are fragmented, limited to common actions, or supported by few wallets.
Now, an open ecosystem-wide solution is gaining momentum. ERC-7730, originally authored by Ledger, is being developed through the Clear Signing Working Group with Ledger, Trezor, WalletConnect, Fireblocks, Sourcify, and the Ethereum Foundation’s 1TS team. As a first step, Ledger’s metadata registry moved to the neutral stewardship of the ethereum GitHub organization.
The work now focuses on making clear signing CROPS aligned and broadly usable: a permissionless onchain registry, auditor attestations through EAS, open-source SDKs, and support for common transactions.
This talk will present current progress, the roadmap, practical examples, and ways to contribute. It will seek technical and directional feedback, surface open questions, and invite discussion on making clear signing the default across wallets and applications
