🔴stx_signMessage

You can request your user to sign a message with arbitrary (unstructured) data, using their wallet's Stacks address, by invoking the stx_signMessage method.

This can be used to authenticate the ownership of an address or to signal a decision (e.g. agree to Terms of Services).

Request parameters	Description
message	a utf-8 string representing the message to be signed by the wallet

   import { Wallet } from "sats-connect";
   
   const message = "Hello World 123";
   const response = await Wallet.request('stx_signMessage', {
        message,
    })
    if (response.status === "success") {
      console.log(response);
      alert(response.result.signature);
    }

The user will see a Stacks message signing request prompt in the wallet. Xverse browser extension UI shown as example:

The stx_signMessage method returns a Promise that resolves if the user approves the request. The message is then hashed using sha256 before being signed with secp256k1, and the method returns the SignStxMessageResult object:

Property	Description
signature	a string representing the signed message
publicKey	a string representing the public key of the address used for signing, as a hex-encoded string
