Ethereum Researchers Explore Transaction Assertions to Cut Signing Risks
- —Assertions would inspect net balance, storage and code changes and revert if a rule fails
- —EIP-7906 uses a read-only post-transaction frame to evaluate changes and events
- —EIP-7906 is under consideration and not yet confirmed for a future upgrade
- —Wallets or protocols would still have to enforce the rule for it to matter
Why it matters: Blind signing is a major source of user losses, but the benefit depends on wallet and client adoption that has not happened yet.
