ERC404 issue: „No obvious correlation to official ERCs“
AI summary of the linked articleA commenter argues that naming the ERC404 project "ERC-404" misleads people, because the ERC label is widely understood to mean a structured standards process and the project has not gone through that process. The commenter says the objection is not about trademarks or numbering, but that the name made the project look like an official ERC, and that many crypto media outlets now describe it as a standard even though it is not yet a proposal. The commenter adds that they support innovation but want the naming to be non-misleading. |

1 comment Regardless of the legal POV (I agree with Tim's point re: defensive trademark), I think it's not ethical to use the ERC name when your token standard hasn't been really tested and approved by the community. That's because many people think ERC = Safe. Which ofc might not be true if more people follow this path. Anyway, that's very clever: "I guess thats why it's called erc-404, like not found since it doesn't really exsist as a erc." |
