ERC-7683 standard by Uniswap Labs and Across Protocol aims to unify cross-chain transactions, enhancing interoperability across blockchains.
Vitalik Buterin endorses ERC-7683, praising its secure "lockbox" feature for seamless cross-chain asset transfers like Polygon to Base.
ERC-7683 introduces CrossChainOrder struct and ISettlementContract for efficient cross-chain trade management and standardized settlement.
Uniswap Labs and Across Protocol have introduced a new proposed standard, ERC-7683, aimed at enhancing cross-chain trade execution and improving interoperability between decentralized networks. The announcement, shared by Uniswap Labs via a recent post on X, highlights the standard’s potential to unify the framework for cross-chain intents, facilitating more efficient and user-friendly cross-chain transactions.
The ERC-7683 proposal has been made publicly available for review on the Ethereum Magicians forum, inviting decentralized platforms and the broader community to assess and contribute to its development. The proposal seeks to create a consistent structure that various decentralized platforms can adopt, potentially leading to more streamlined operations across multiple blockchain networks.
Vitalik Buterin Endorses ERC-7683
Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, supported ERC-7683, referring to it as "an open standard for marking cross-chain orders." Buterin explained that the standard would enable users to transfer assets securely and quickly between other blockchains, such as Polygon to Base.

The proposed mechanism involves sending coins from one blockchain into a secure "lockbox," which can only be accessed by someone who can prove they transferred the coins to the intended location on the destination blockchain. Buterin also noted that ERC-7683 incorporates advanced features like batching and Merkle proving, which are designed to enhance cross-chain transactions' efficiency.
Technical Aspects of ERC-7683
ERC-7683 introduces several technical innovations to improve the management of cross-chain transactions. One of the proposal's key elements is the CrossChainOrder struct code, which simplifies managing cross-chain orders by defining essential parameters consistently. This standardization is expected to reduce errors and inefficiencies that often arise from the complexities of managing cross-chain operations.
Additionally, the proposal includes a standard “ISettlementContract” smart contract interface, which aims to streamline the execution of cross-chain orders further. This interface has the potential to play an important part in accomplishing the larger aim of improved cross-chain interoperability by offering a consistent method of settlement across several platforms.
In a similar event, Vitalik Buterin recently transferred 3,000 Ether, worth more than $8 million, to a new multi-signature wallet. Lookonchain witnessed the transaction, which has fueled suspicion regarding Buterin's intentions. Some claim that the funds are intended for charitable donations.
