This EIP proposes a standardized interface ERC token contracts to extend in order to give trustless bridges the necessary APIs to nativey mint & burn tokens for transportation across L2s and Alt-L1s.

Can you please link to some technical details about the proposal? It looks like the EIP simply names a bunch of interfaces that are meant to be required, without saying what those interfaces are or how to find them.

Sorry i asummed it would be pretty easy to find EIP proposals given their numbers, nevertheless the required EIP interfaces are: [EIP-5679](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-5679) and [EIP-5982](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-5982)

(I’ve also updated the EIP draft to link properly to them)
