Kernel-Orchestrated Modular Smart Contracts Abstract This ERC proposes a kernel-orchestrated modular smart contract framework built on EIP-2535 Diamond proxies. It introduces self-describing modules (Orbitals) with first-class on-chain metadata including identity, semantic versioning, storage schema hashes, and exported function selectors. Key Features IValenceModule interface for self-describing modules Kernel-managed lifecycle (install, upgrade, remove) with explicit hooks EIP-7201 namespaced storage for collision-free module composition Machine-legible metadata for AI-first and automated orchestration Module marketplace suitability with stable identifiers Discussion Points I’m looking for feedback on: The interface design and lifecycle hooks Storage namespacing approach using EIP-7201 Semantic versioning on-chain representation Use cases and potential applications Please share your thoughts and suggestions! https://github.com/ethereum/ERCs/pull/1528 2 posts - 1 participant Read full topic
This standard proposes a modular contract architecture where a central "kernel" contract orchestrates interactions between various "module" contracts. This allows for greater flexibility, upgradability, and code reusability in smart contract development.
