Clear Signing Overview
Every day, millions of users blindly approve transactions they can’t read. Clear Signing transforms this incomprehensible hex data into plain language that anyone can verify.
The Problem: Blind Signing
When using traditional blockchain wallets, users face a critical security challenge: blind signing. They’re presented with unreadable transaction hashes or encoded data, making it impossible to verify what they’re actually authorizing.
- •Shows only incomprehensible transaction hashes
- •Cannot verify transaction content or recipient
- •High risk of scams and phishing attacks
- •Poor user experience leads to mistakes

- •Shows formatted, readable transaction details
- •Verifies recipient, amount, and function
- •Reduces risk through complete transparency
- •Improves confidence and understanding
Maximum slippage: 0.5%
The Solution: Clear Signing
Clear Signing is an open standard that makes blockchain transactions readable. Instead of showing users cryptic hex strings, it displays exactly what will happen: “Send 100 USDC to alice.eth” or “Swap 1 ETH for 2,500 USDC on Uniswap.”
As a developer, you make this possible by creating a simple metadata file that describes your smart contract’s functions. Once submitted and reviewed, every transaction through your protocol becomes instantly understandable, protecting users and building trust.
Example: A POAP claim transaction displayed with Clear Signing on Ledger Stax
