The address of this account. Subclasses must override and provide this value.

property alias: str

sign_message(msg: Any, **signer_options) MessageSignature | None

Sign a message.

Parameters:
  • msg (Any) – The message to sign. Account plugins can handle various types of messages. For example, KeyfileAccount can handle SignableMessage, str, int, and bytes. See these docs # noqa: E501 for more type information on the SignableMessage type.

  • **signer_options – Additional kwargs given to the signer to modify the signing operation.

Returns:

The signature corresponding to the message.

Return type:

MessageSignature (optional)

sign_raw_msghash(msghash: HexBytes) MessageSignature

Sign a raw message hash.

Parameters:

msghash (HexBytes) – The message hash to sign. Plugins may or may not support this operation. Default implementation is to raise NotImplementedError.

Returns:

The signature corresponding to the message.

Return type:

MessageSignature (optional)

sign_transaction(txn: TransactionAPI, **signer_options) TransactionAPI | None

Sign a transaction.

Parameters:

  • **signer_options – Additional kwargs given to the signer to modify the signing operation.

Returns:

A signed transaction.

The TransactionAPI returned by this method may not correspond to txn given as input, however returning a properly-formatted transaction here is meant to be executed. Returns None if the account does not have a transaction it wishes to execute.

Return type:

TransactionAPI (optional)
