Step-by-step instructions

  5. When Chainweaver pops up you will be prompted with a signing request which has 3 parts:

    • Configuration: View transaction info and adjust settings if desired
    • Sign: Select your public key in each of the 3 “Grant Capabilities” fields
    • Preview: You should see a Raw Response of “Write succeeded!” and if so select “Submit”

Key Takeaways

For developers and end users, navigating wallet-dApp interaction can be a challenging experience. For example, developing with Ethereum requires wallets and dApps to integrate intricate web3.js code in order to perform necessary signing operations.

Kadena simplifies this interaction with a signing API. There is no need to embed a web browser or to store private keys in a browser plug-in.

As a developer on Kadena, when your dApp needs to send a signed transaction, simply make an AJAX request to the signing API on localhost port 9467. Then the user's wallet will handle the details of transaction signing.
