Ethereum unveils Clear Signing ERC-7730 to end blind signing with readable transaction summaries

The Ethereum Foundation has launched 'Clear Signing', an open standard aimed at stopping users from approving malicious or opaque on‑chain transactions by introducing ERC‑7730 for clearer transaction approvals ^{[1] [2] [3]}.

ERC‑7730 replaces unreadable hex strings in wallet prompts with human‑readable, auditable transaction summaries and is paired with a JSON descriptor format and registry to provide structured, machine‑readable metadata for approvals ^{[4] [2] [3]}.

The Clear Signing effort was developed under the One Trillion Dollar Security Initiative (1TS) with wallet developers and security firms, and is presented as a direct response to high‑profile phishing and wallet‑drain incidents that have resulted in significant losses ^{[5] [1] [4]}.

The Foundation describes the standard as open and designed to make transaction confirmations safer and easier to understand for users; the working group aims to encourage wallet adoption of the Clear Signing formats to reduce blind‑signing risks ^{[2] [1]}.
