Transaction

Signs an unsigned transaction.

Typescript Example with MeshJS SDK

First install the MeshJS SDK. You can find the full documentation here: https://docs.meshjs.dev/. You also need a service that tracks the account’s UTXO, for example Blockfrost. The DFNS TypeScript SDK has an example demonstrating how to write a custom Blockfrost initiator plugin for MeshJS. Here a code sample to generate a signature via the DFNS TypeScript SDK:

CIP-8

Signs an arbitrary message using CIP-8. Note: signing address depends on the targeted blockchain. Therefore it’s tied to a specific network rather than the blockchain kind.
