Message signing is one way to prove that you own a specific wallet address. This method can complete the proof of ownership of a specific address without revealing the wallet’s private key. Currently, mainstream wallets in the market (including hardware wallets) support the functions of message signing and message verification.
Message signing and verifying message functionality consists of the following three elements:
1) Wallet address to be signed
2) Custom message
3) Signature result which is an encrypted string automatically generated based on the wallet address, custom message, and private key.
When signing a message, enter the wallet address to be signed and the customized message content. After clicking “Sign”, the wallet will automatically use the private key corresponding to the address to sign your customized message content and feedback the signature result. Simply provide the signature result to complete your verification of wallet address ownership.
