Vitalik Buterin Pushes For ERC-3770 & ERC-7683 Adoption, Highlights Polymarket UI Flaws
The post Vitalik Buterin Pushes For ERC-3770 & ERC-7683 Adoption, Highlights Polymarket UI Flaws appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has recently sparked a significant discussion in the crypto community about blockchain interoperability and user experience. Using the social media platform X, Buterin highlighted the urgent need for streamlined cross-chain transactions and better user interfaces in decentralized applications. To illustrate his point, Buterin demonstrated the current interface for depositing to Polymarket, comparing it to what he believes should be the ideal interface. This comparison served to underscore the existing shortcomings in user experience within the blockchain ecosystem. Buterin’s comments have reignited the conversation about blockchain usability and its potential for mainstream adoption. By advocating for the adoption of specific Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs), particularly ERC-3770 and ERC-7683, Buterin aims to address these issues and push the industry towards more user-friendly solutions. Proposed Solutions and Their Potential Impact Buterin pinpointed two primary challenges facing users in the current blockchain landscape: the difficulty in making payments to someone on a different Layer 2 (L2) network, and the complexity of using decentralized applications (dApps) on one network with coins held on another. He contends that these are primarily user experience problems rather than advanced technical issues. To tackle these challenges, Buterin proposes three solutions: Widespread adoption of ERC-3770, which would incorporate chain information into the address, creating a comprehensive “how to pay me” identifier. Implementation of a cross-L2 exchange protocol like ERC-7683, enabling programmatic cross-chain sending without concerns about intermediary trust or API connections. Improved wallet integration to simplify cross-L2 transactions, making them as straightforward as regular sends. Buterin also addressed the technical aspects of these challenges. He noted, “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.” This clarification highlights the distinction between contract-level issues…
