summary

Claims that blind "YOLO" signing causes billions in losses and that clear signing prevents wallet-draining phishing attacks; proposes a data-driven, declarative JSON format called ERC-7730 standard to map function fields to human labels and hide protocol noise. Delivered tools include editor/preview UI, a curated public registry of signed files, conversion to Ledger-signed artifacts, and hardware integration via the Ledger Device Signer Kit; these are released and tested on devices with an adoption roadmap into Q2 2024.
