🔴stx_signTransaction

You can use the stx_signTransaction method to request the signature of any hex-encoded Stacks transaction from your user's Stacks wallet address.

Request parameters	Description
transaction	a hex-encoded string representing the Stacks transaction to sign
broadcast (ℹ️ optional)	a boolean flag that specifies whether to broadcast the signed transaction after signature. Defaults to TRUE

You can use any Stacks library to construct these transaction. See examples using helpers from the @stacks/transactions package

    import { Wallet } from "sats-connect";

//token transfer transaction 
    const transaction = await makeUnsignedSTXTokenTransfer({

//contract deployment transaction 
    const transaction = await makeUnsignedContractDeploy({
      anchorMode: "any",
      contractName: "my-contract",
      codeBody: code,
      fee: 3000,
      publicKey: props.publicKey,
    });
    try {
      const response = await Wallet.request("stx_signTransaction", {
        transaction: uint8ArrayToHex(transaction.serialize()),
      });
      if (response.status === "success") {
        console.log(response.result.transaction);
      } else {
        alert(errorMessage);
        console.error(response.error);
      }
    } catch (error) {
      alert(errorMessage);
      console.error(error);
    }

The above request examples will ask the wallet to:

• sign a contract call transaction

• sign a token transfer request

• sign a contract deployment transaction

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

The transaction will be signed and broadcasted upon user approval.

The stx_signTransaction method returns a Promise that resolves to the SignTransactionResult object:

Property	Description
transaction	a hex-encoded string reperesenting the transfer STX transaction signed
