Sign Messages

WaaP supports signing personal messages as per Sui Wallet Standard for sui:signPersonalMessage.

• sui:signPersonalMessage - Prompt the user to sign a message buffer and return the signature to the app.

Sign Message (standard)

Ensure the user has already connected (so wallet.accounts is populated), then call the feature:

import { getWallets } from '@mysten/wallet-standard'

const wallets = getWallets().get()
const wallet = wallets.find(w => w.name === 'WaaP')

if (!wallet || wallet.accounts.length === 0) return

const message = new TextEncoder().encode('Hello, WaaP!')

const result = await wallet.features['sui:signPersonalMessage'].signPersonalMessage({
  message,
  account: wallet.accounts[0],
})

console.log('Signature:', result.signature)
console.log('Bytes:', result.bytes)

Sign Message (with @mysten/dapp-kit)

@mysten/dapp-kit provides convenient hooks for signing messages.

import { useSignPersonalMessage } from '@mysten/dapp-kit'

export function SignMessage() {
  const { mutate: signPersonalMessage } = useSignPersonalMessage()

  const handleSign = () => {
    signPersonalMessage(
      {
        message: new TextEncoder().encode('Hello, WaaP!'),
      },
      {
        onSuccess: (result) => {
          console.log('Signature:', result.signature)
          console.log('Signed Bytes:', result.bytes)
        },
        onError: (error) => {
          console.error('Sign failed', error)
        },
      },
    )
  }

  return (
    <button onClick={handleSign}>
      Sign Message
    </button>
  )
}

Security and User Experience

• User Consent: All signing and transaction actions require explicit user approval via the WaaP modal.
• No Private Key Exposure: The private key is never reconstructed anywhere but done via 2PC (Two-party computation) and 2PC-MPC (Two-party computation - Multi-party computation).
