Sig

Sig is a signing library for Cosmos, supported in Node.js and browsers.

Sig provides JavaScript functions and TypeScript types for

  • Deriving a wallet (private key, public key, and address) from a mnemonic
  • Deriving an address from a public key
  • Structuring a transaction
  • Signing a transaction
  • Verifying signatures for a transaction
  • Preparing a transaction for broadcast

Sig does not provide functions for

  • Generating a mnemonic
  • Storing keys or other secrets
  • Obtaining data from a chain
  • Broadcasting transactions

Sig is designed to work well with other libraries like

Sig is experimental and not recommended for use in production yet. Please help us test and improve it!

As always, please be careful to protect any mnemonic phrases, passwords, and private keys.

Usage

Derive a wallet (private key, public key, and address) from a mnemonic
import { createWalletFromMnemonic } from '@tendermint/sig';

const mnemonic = 'trouble salon husband push melody usage fine ensure blade deal miss twin';

const wallet = createWalletFromMnemonic(mnemonic); // BIP39 mnemonic string
/*

Derive a Bech32 address from a public key
import { createAddress } from '@tendermint/sig';

const address = createAddress(publicKey); // Buffer or Uint8Array
// 'cosmos1asm039pzjkkg9ghlvj267p5g3whtxd2t4leg5c'
Sign a transaction
import { signTx } from '@tendermint/sig';

const valid = verifyTx(stdTx, signMeta); // signed transaction and metadata; see example above
// true
