Overview
EIP-712 is a standard for typed structured data hashing, making signed messages readable and phishing-resistant. It lets users see what they are signing. It is widely used for gasless transactions and signatures.
How It Works
EIP-712 defines a domain and typed message structure that is hashed and signed. Wallets display the readable data instead of an opaque hash. This reduces blind signing and phishing risk.
Why It Matters
EIP-712 improves signing security and user trust by making messages legible. It is essential for signatures in DeFi and identity. It is a key standard in the Ethereum ecosystem.
