Signing a Message

When a web application is connected to Broearn Wallet, it can also request that the user signs a given message. Applications are free to write their own messages which will be displayed to users from within Broearn Wallet's signature prompt. Message signatures do not involve network fees and are a convenient way for apps to verify ownership of an address.

const message = 'To avoid digital dognappers, sign below to authenticate with CryptoCorgis.';
const from = accounts[0];
const msg = `0x${Buffer.from(message, 'utf8').toString('hex')}`;
const sign = await provider.request({
        method: 'personal_sign',
        params: [msg, from, 'Example password'],
    });

Support for "Sign In With" Standards

Applications that rely on signing messages to authenticate users can choose to opt-in to one of the various Sign In With (SIW) standards. You can read more about them here.
