The Ethereum core development team is about to complete the formulation of two key standards aimed at solving the problem of address identification in cross-chain interactions. The ERC-7828 and ERC-7930 standards are expected to be officially finalized on May 9, and are currently in the final community opinion collection on the Ethereum Magicians forum. It is understood that the ERC-7930 standard will provide a unified network identification format for the system, while the ERC-7828 standard is committed to converting complex encrypted addresses into a more recognizable "name@service" format.
