Enforceable human-readable transactions: How to solve Bybit-like hacks

AI summary of the linked article

The article proposes that applications embed an enforceable, human-readable description in signed EIP-712 messages to prevent blind-signing attacks like the Bybit hack. Each application would implement a canonical decoder that turns the message into a plain-language description, which the wallet displays alongside the raw data. The application recomputes the description on-chain and rejects any transaction whose signed description does not match, so the description need not be stored for data availability. The author notes that the approach adds computational overhead, which is better suited to L2s and application-specific rollups, and points to Cartesi as a good fit.
