Sig
Sig is a signing library for Cosmos which we've modified for compatibility with Kava.
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.

import { createWalletFromMnemonic } from '@kava-labs/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

Verify a transaction
import { verifyTx } from '@kava-labs/sig';
const valid = verifyTx(stdTx, signMeta); // signed transaction and metadata; see example above
// true
