}

eth_signTypedData_v4

Adds support to eth_signtypeddata_v4.

✏️ Note: You can also implement support for eth_signTypedData_v1 and eth_signTypedData_v3, but they are deprecated.

In summary, the differences between the versions are:

  • V1 is based upon an early version of EIP-712 that lacked some later security improvements, and should generally be neglected in favor of later versions.

  • V3 is based on EIP-712, except that arrays and recursive data structures are not supported.

  • V4 is based on EIP-712, and includes full support of arrays and recursive data structures.

Parameters

  1. Account address (required)
    • Type: string
    • Pattern: ^0x[0-9a-fA-F]{40}$
  2. Typed data (required)
    • Type: object
    • Properties:
      • types
        • Type: object
        • Properties:
          • EIP712Domain
            • Type: array
      • primaryType
        • Type: string
      • domain
        • Type: object
      • message
        • Type: object

Returns

    • Type: string
    • Pattern: ^0x[0-9a-f]{130}$

Deprecated methods

Please note that the eth_sign, eth_signTypedData_v1 and eth_signTypedData_v3 methods are deprecated but may still be used by some dapps.

Reference implementation

A reference implementation of the methods described here can be found in the eth-sig-util package.
