Description
Many sites ask the user to sign arbitrary data as an authentication step. Since all sites now have to request the user share their address, we could standardize a step that does both address exposure & arbitrary data signing in one step and make things smoother for dapps and users.
Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or implementation entry points. Start by locating the existing address-sharing and arbitrary-data signing request flows, then determine how a combined request would fit both dapps and users. Done would require an agreed standard and an implementation with tests covering the combined challenge.
