## Simple Summary
@ -17,10 +16,6 @@ A standard way of creating Ethereum URLs for various use-cases.
URLs embedded in QR-codes, hyperlinks in web-pages, emails or chat messages provide for robust cross-application signaling between very loosely coupled applications. A standardized URL format allows for instant invocation of the user's preferred wallet application.
## Motivation
The need for this ERC emerged when refining ERC-681. We need a container ERC that does not carry the weight of the use-cases and just serves the container for them.
## Specification
### Syntax
@ -37,6 +32,12 @@ Ethereum URLs contain "ethereum" in their schema (protocol) part and are constru
`payload` is mandatory and the content depends on the prefix. Structuring of the content is defined in the ERC for the specific use-case and not in the scope of this document. One example is ERC-681 for the pay- prefix.
## Rationale
The need for this ERC emerged when refining ERC-681. We need a container that does not carry the weight of the use-cases. ERC-67 was the first standard defining Ethereum-URLs - this ERC tries to keep backward compatibibility and not break existing flows. This means ERC-67 URLs should still be valid and readable. But if the prefix feature is used - ERC-67 parsers might break.
