Create your first account

you can do this by creating a JSON-RPC request to the createAccount method

Sign a message

First use eserialize to convert a string to hex:

for example hello world produces 0x68656c6c6f20776f726c64.

Then make a JSON-RPC request to the sign method to sign the message with the account you created:

Make sure you replace the example address with the one you created in the previous steps

and you should see a signed message as the result:

{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "result": "0x5377edbade526fa10b8f62a53a1c39e817de42a0b11ae585789a2e74b12fbca63bb319b6a8579246cb62dcea0af7047d836ec48a133f3487055fd33822192bdd9e",
    "id": 0
}
