Ethereum targets NFT UX revolution with 1-click EIP-8141
A new proposal, EIP-8141, aims to revolutionize the non-fungible token (NFT) user experience on Ethereum by enabling single-click actions for complex transactions. The potential changes could significantly improve usability for the nearly $1.5 billion monthly NFT market on the chain.
The proposal, detailed in a report titled 'The NFT UX Revolution: Part 1', outlines a new standard for bundling NFT actions. The report highlights the current friction where users must approve multiple, separate transactions for common activities.
EIP-8141 introduces 'intent-centric' transactions, allowing users to sign a single approval for a sequence of actions like buying, staking, and borrowing against an NFT. This is part of a broader concept called the 'Ethereum Economic Zone', designed to create a more seamless on-chain environment for digital assets, competing with the user experience on ecosystems like Solana and Polygon.
If adopted, these changes could lower gas fees by up to 15% for complex NFT trades and dramatically reduce friction for mainstream users. This could boost transaction volume on major Ethereum NFT marketplaces like OpenSea and Blur, and increase the appeal of DeFi protocols built around NFTs.
