RIP-7212 is a Rollup Improvement Proposal introducing a precompiled contract to the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) for verifying signatures using the secp256r1 elliptic curve. This addition enables efficient on-chain validation of signatures from widely used standards like TLS, DNSSEC, and various hardware security modules, which predominantly utilize the secp256r1 curve. By incorporating this precompile, Ethereum rollups can enhance interoperability with existing security infrastructures, reduce computational overhead, and lower gas costs associated with cryptographic operations. Notably, RIP-7212 has been implemented on several platforms, including Polygon’s mainnet and zkSync Era, marking significant progress in Ethereum’s scalability and security.
