According to U.Today, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin is advocating for the adoption of new standards, ERC-3770 and ERC-7683, to enhance user experience. Buterin has identified limitations in cross-chain transactions for users, particularly when interacting with the interfaces of decentralized applications and making payments across layer-2 networks.
Using Polymarket’s User Interface (UI) as an example, Buterin pointed out flaws when depositing on Polymarket. He believes that the solution to these issues would be the adoption of ERC-3770 and ERC-7683. According to Buterin, the ERC-3770 Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) will integrate chain information into addresses, creating a comprehensive identifier that simplifies cross-chain payments.
Ansgar, an Ethereum Foundation researcher, stated that it is necessary to ensure ERC-3770 is compatible with a future 32-byte address. Buterin responded by saying, 'The main challenge with the 32-byte thing is contract level (lots of contracts use mod 2**160 to handle addresses). ERC-3770 is UI level. I view the two as orthogonal to each other.'
Buterin also suggested that the implementation of ERC-7683 would enable programmatic cross-chain transfers without concerns about intermediary trust, or API connections. Buterin is consistently coming up with new ideas to boost security and improve user experience on Ethereum. He once proposed enhancing Ethereum addresses with the 'checksummed' versions, which play a role in improving user experiences.
Buterin has also hinted at new models to speed up Ethereum transactions. With Wall Street set to embrace the coin through its ETF, innovators are doing all they can to enhance its scalability. With Bitcoin already recording success in the ETF market, Ethereum needs as many enhancements as possible to compete. Buterin believes that these ERCs may help achieve this goal.
