verifyTypedData

Verify that typed data was signed by the provided address.

⚠️ WARNING

This utility can only verify typed data that was signed by an Externally Owned Account (EOA). To verify messages from Contract Accounts (& EOA), use the publicClient.verifyMessage Action instead.

Usage

example.tsdata.tsclient.ts

import { verifyTypedData } from 'viem'
import { account, walletClient } from './client'

const message = {
  from: {
    name: 'Cow',
    wallet: '0xCD2a3d9F938E13CD947Ec05AbC7FE734Df8DD826',
  },
  to: {
    name: 'Bob',
    wallet: '0xbBbBBBBbbBBBbbbBbbBbbbbBBbBbbbbBbBbbBBbB',
  },
  contents: 'Hello, Bob!',
} as const

const signature = await walletClient.signTypedData({
  account,
  domain,
  types,
  primaryType: 'Mail',
  message,
})

const valid = await verifyTypedData({
  address: account.address,
  domain,
  types,
  primaryType: 'Mail',
  message,
  signature,
})
// true

// All properties on a domain are optional
export const domain = {
  name: 'Ether Mail',
  version: '1',
  chainId: 1,
  verifyingContract: '0xCcCCccccCCCCcCCCCCCcCcCccCcCCCcCcccccccC',
} as const

// The named list of all type definitions
export const types = {
  Person: [
    { name: 'name', type: 'string' },
    { name: 'wallet', type: 'address' },
  ],
  Mail: [
    { name: 'from', type: 'Person' },
    { name: 'to', type: 'Person' },
    { name: 'contents', type: 'string' },
  ],
} as const

import { createWalletClient, custom } from 'viem'

export const walletClient = createWalletClient({
  transport: custom(window.ethereum),
})
