Improving crosschain UX is a top priority. But what is the most effective path to solving it and where do standardization efforts best fit in: Notes from the most recent Interop Working Group & ERC-7786 as a way to unify message passing protocols under a simple API ↓ ↓ TLDR: - OpenZeppelin, Axelar, and Espresso gave an overview of 7786: a unified API to allow applications to work with any message passing protocol across chains - from Axelar: "Generally I don’t like standards, except when there is a bottleneck. And in the Ethereum community, a lack of a standard here is really a bottleneck that I keep seeing over and over again" - 7786 is designed to be as minimal and lightweight as possible, with adapters to plug into the main messaging standards - Similar to agreeing on a format for mailing addresses, but you can easily use different providers to deliver the package (eg UPS or FedEx) - Seeking community feedback and aim to finalize in next few weeks ✅ ---- Notes and recording: notes.ethereum.org/@rudolf/i… ---- Thanks to all who represented on the call today! @axelar, @OpenZeppelin, @EspressoSys, @trainprotocol, @lifiprotocol, @wonderland, @circle, @1kxnetwork, @etherspot, @routescan_io, @MetaMask, @Scroll_ZKP, @Uniswap, @hashialliance, @blocknative, @t1protocol, @hyperlane, @puffer_finance, @fabric_ethereum, @Polymer_Labs, @LineaBuild, @RiscZero, @AcrossProtocol, @radius_xyz, @EverclearOrg, @LayerZero_Core, @0xsequence, @glacislabs, @zksync, @ZuBerlinCity, @rhinestonewtf, @offchain, @sprinter_ux, @blockaid_, @l2beat, @CoWSwap, @base, @0xAarc, @bootnodedev, @wormhole, @OmniFDN, @Alchemy
