Chain-specific addresses

I’m late to the party, but I’d love to see EIP-3770 move to review then final!

Two tiny recommendations:

  • drop the 0x prefix since it doesn’t really convey any useful information; and
  • move the table of prefixes into the EIP itself.

Would love to see this going through to final! @lukasschor what is needed to make it a reality?

Hi, I just want to express my support for this EIP!

It would be awesome to see automatic chain switching or alert when prefixed addresses are pasted into wallets, and prefix added when copied. Is there anything the community can do to nudge this in the process?

I was surprised to see this EIP in draft mode. Seems Gnosis Safe already implemented it and that the scope is well-defined. I’d also suggest moving it into review.

Great EIP, and I am already using this at Coinshift.
However, the shortName field in https://chainid.network/chains.json is not consistent with the example screenshot in the EIP.

For ex -
should we use matic:0x123… or poly:0x123…
same with xdai:0x123… or gno:0x123…

It would be very useful to expand this ERC to cover transaction hashes as well (or create a new ERC). Happy to help
