[ERC735](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/735) deals with management of claims made about ERC725 identity ### EIP Explanation Interface standard for a smart contract based account with attachable key value store "Standardizing a minimal interface for a smart contract based account allows any interface to operate through these account types. Smart contact based accounts following this standard have the following advantages: * can hold any asset (native token, e.g. ERC20 like tokens) * can execute any smart contract and deploy smart contracts * have upgradeable security (through owner change, e.g. to a Gnosis safe) * are basic enough to work for a long time * are extensible through additional standardization of the key/value data. * can function as an owner/controller or proxy of other smart contracts"- EIP Author Implementation: ## Implementation project ERC725 implementation is used on Universal Profiles which is live on Test network, [Project link](https://universalprofile.cloud/) ### Further reading * First impressions with ERC 725 and ERC 735 — identity and claims: * ERC725 Alliance * Projects implemented ERC725:
