klay_sign

📘
Supported on Klaytn (mainnet) only.

The sign method calculates a Klaytn-specific signature with:

sign(keccak256("\x19Klaytn Signed Message:\n" + len(message) + message)))

Adding a prefix to the message makes the calculated signature recognizable as a Klaytn-specific signature. This prevents misuse where a malicious dApp can sign arbitrary data, e.g., transaction, and use the signature to impersonate the victim.

NOTE: The address to sign with must be unlocked.
