A new step has been taken towards identity management across chains. The Ethereum community has brought forward a proposal for a new standard called ERC-8092, which aims to enable verifiable associations between accounts on different blockchains.
In its draft stage, ERC-8092 allows for the relationship between two different blockchain accounts to be publicly defined, verified, and revoked if necessary through cryptographic signatures. This proposal aims to reduce the complexities faced by users and applications in managing multiple addresses.
Highlighted use cases within the standard include sub-account relationships, delegation of authority, and the consolidation of reputation under a single identity. This enables the association of multiple wallets under a primary address, granting representation authority to specific accounts, or aggregating activities across different chains under a single identity profile.
ERC-8092 also supports interoperability between chains thanks to its compatibility with EIP-7930. This feature aims to enable accounts located on different blockchain networks to connect under a common identity standard.
In the proposal text, ERC-8092 is defined as a "new standard for connecting blockchain accounts across chains and platforms," while developers indicate that this structure could establish a foundational infrastructure for decentralized identity solutions and Web3 applications in the long term. The draft is expected to evolve in later stages with community feedback.
Stay tuned for new developments.
