  The wallet's classic address.

sign

• sign(this, transaction, multisign?): {
      hash: string;
      tx_blob: string;
  }

• Signs a transaction offline.

  Example

  const { Client, Wallet } = require('xrpl')
  const client = new Client('wss://s.altnet.rippletest.net:51233')
  
  async function signTransaction() {
    await client.connect()
    const { balance: balance1, wallet: wallet1 } = client.fundWallet()
    const { balance: balance2, wallet: wallet2 } = client.fundWallet()
  
    const transaction = {
      TransactionType: 'Payment',
      Account: wallet1.address,
      Destination: wallet2.address,
      Amount: '10'
    }
  
    try {
      await client.autofill(transaction)
      const { tx_blob: signed_tx_blob, hash} = await wallet1.sign(transaction)
      console.log(signed_tx_blob)
    } catch (error) {
      console.error(`Failed to sign transaction: ${error}`)
    }
    const result = await client.submit(signed_tx_blob)
    await client.disconnect()
  }
  
  signTransaction()
  Copy

  In order for a transaction to be validated, it must be signed by the account sending the transaction to prove That the owner is actually the one deciding to take that action.

  In this example, we created, signed, and then submitted a transaction to testnet. You may notice that the Output of sign includes a tx_blob and a hash, both of which are needed to submit & verify the results. Note: If you pass a Wallet to client.submit or client.submitAndWait it will do signing like this under the hood.

  tx_blob is a binary representation of a transaction on the XRP Ledger. It's essentially a byte array that encodes all of the data necessary to execute the transaction, including the source address, the destination address, the amount, and any additional fields required for the specific transaction type.

  hash is a unique identifier that's generated from the signed transaction data on the XRP Ledger. It's essentially A cryptographic digest of the signed transaction blob, created using a hash function. The signed transaction hash is Useful for identifying and tracking specific transactions on the XRP Ledger. It can be used to query transaction Information, verify the authenticity of a transaction, and detect any tampering with the transaction data.

  Throws

  ValidationError if the transaction is already signed or does not encode/decode to same result.

  Throws

  XrplError if the issued currency being signed is XRP ignoring case.

  Parameters

  • this: Wallet

    Wallet instance.

  • transaction: Transaction

    A transaction to be signed offline.

  • Optional multisign: string | boolean

    Specify true/false to use multisign or actual address (classic/x-address) to make multisign tx request.

  Returns {
      hash: string;
      tx_blob: string;
  }

  A signed transaction.

  • hash: string

  • tx_blob: string

verifyTransaction

• verifyTransaction(signedTransaction): boolean

• Verifies a signed transaction offline.

  Parameters

  • signedTransaction: string | Transaction

    A signed transaction (hex string of signTransaction result) to be verified offline.

  Returns boolean

  Returns true if a signedTransaction is valid.

Static fromEntropy

• fromEntropy(entropy, opts?): Wallet

• Derives a wallet from an entropy (array of random numbers).

  Parameters

  • entropy: number[] | Uint8Array

    An array of random numbers to generate a seed used to derive a wallet.

  • opts: {
        algorithm?: ECDSA;
        masterAddress?: string;
    } = {}

    (Optional) Options to derive a Wallet.

    • Optional algorithm?: ECDSA

      The digital signature algorithm to generate an address for.

    • Optional masterAddress?: string

      Include if a Wallet uses a Regular Key Pair. It must be the master address of the account.

  Returns Wallet

  A Wallet derived from an entropy.

Static fromMnemonic

• fromMnemonic(mnemonic, opts?): Wallet

• Derives a wallet from a bip39 or RFC1751 mnemonic (Defaults to bip39).

  Deprecated

  since version 2.6.1. Will be deleted in version 3.0.0. This representation is currently deprecated in rippled. You should use another method to represent your keys such as a seed or public/private keypair.

  Throws

  ValidationError if unable to derive private key from mnemonic input.

  Parameters

  • mnemonic: string

    A string consisting of words (whitespace delimited) used to derive a wallet.

  • opts: {
        algorithm?: ECDSA;
        derivationPath?: string;
        masterAddress?: string;
        mnemonicEncoding?: "bip39" | "rfc1751";
    } = {}

    (Optional) Options to derive a Wallet.

    • Optional algorithm?: ECDSA

      Only used if opts.mnemonicEncoding is 'rfc1751'. Allows the mnemonic to generate its secp256k1 seed, or its ed25519 seed. By default, it will generate the secp256k1 seed to match the rippled wallet_propose default algorithm.

    • Optional derivationPath?: string

      The path to derive a keypair (publicKey/privateKey). Only used for bip39 conversions.

    • Optional masterAddress?: string

      Include if a Wallet uses a Regular Key Pair. It must be the master address of the account.

    • Optional mnemonicEncoding?: "bip39" | "rfc1751"

      If set to 'rfc1751', this interprets the mnemonic as a rippled RFC1751 mnemonic like wallet_propose generates in rippled. Otherwise the function defaults to bip39 decoding.

  Returns Wallet

  A Wallet derived from a mnemonic.

Static fromSeed

• fromSeed(seed, opts?): Wallet

• Derives a wallet from a seed.

  Parameters

  • seed: string

    A string used to generate a keypair (publicKey/privateKey) to derive a wallet.

  • opts: {
        algorithm?: ECDSA;
        masterAddress?: string;
    } = {}

    (Optional) Options to derive a Wallet.

    • Optional algorithm?: ECDSA

      The digital signature algorithm to generate an address for.

    • Optional masterAddress?: string

      Include if a Wallet uses a Regular Key Pair. It must be the master address of the account.

  Returns Wallet

  A Wallet derived from a seed.

Static generate

• generate(algorithm?): Wallet

• generate() creates a new random Wallet. In order to make this a valid account on ledger, you must Send XRP to it. On test networks that can be done with "faucets" which send XRP to any account which asks For it. You can call client.fundWallet() in order to generate credentials and fund the account on test networks.

  Example

  const { Wallet } = require('xrpl')
  const wallet = Wallet.generate()
  Copy

  Throws

  ValidationError when signing algorithm isn't valid

  Parameters

  • algorithm: ECDSA = DEFAULT_ALGORITHM

    The digital signature algorithm to generate an address for.

  Returns Wallet

  A new Wallet derived from a generated seed.
