Making Clear Signing the default on Ethereum
Today, the Ethereum Foundation's Trillion Dollar Security Initiative and a working group spanning wallet, hardware, security, and infrastructure teams are launching Clear Signing Working Group, to end blind signing on Ethereum. It ships as an open standard (ERC-7730), a neutral registry, an attestation framework, and developer libraries. Sourcify is one of the contributors.
For years, Sourcify has been concerned about what we see as one of the biggest missing pieces in the Ethereum stack: even when source code is verified and open, users still cannot meaningfully read what they are about to sign.
This is not a new concern for us. Back in 2023 we started a Working Group on Human-Readable Transactions, and revisited the whole problem space in March 2025 after the ByBit hack. In fact it's been years we have been thinking about the blind signing problem and advocating to find the right solution.
We are glad to now be part of a working group, with an open spec and a neutral registry, that is finally positioned to solve this problem once and for all.
