# Signing Messages

Once an application is connected to the Rise Wallet via connect method, it can also request that the user signs a given message using `window.rise.signMessage().`Applications are free to write their own messages which will be displayed to users from within Rise Wallet's signature prompt. Message signatures do not involve network fees and are a convenient way for apps to verify ownership of an address. It takes **one parameter** listed below:

```json
{
   address?: boolean; // To include the address of the account in the message
   application?: boolean; // To include the domain of the dapp
   chainId?: boolean; // To include the current chain id the wallet is connected to
   message: string; // The message to be signed and displayed to the user
   nonce: string; // A nonce the app should generate,
 }
```

 Below is an example code describing the way to sign a message.

```javascript
const signature = await window.rise.signMessage({
  address: true,
  application: true,
  chainId: true,
  message: "This is a message",
  nonce: 123,
});
console.log(signature)
// {
//  address: true
//  application: "localhost:5001"
//  chainId: 33
//  fullMessage: "APTOS\naddress: true\napplication: localhost:5001\nchainId: 33\nmessage: This is a message\nnonce: 123"
//  message: "This is a message"
//  nonce: 123
//  prefix: "APTOS"
//  publicKey: "0x71c87ca87e89dd7d02d224465cc40a1aafb10a76a91a0857ddac29fe0c3cdf23"
//  signature: "0xd4bfd19381d4e2d1ae06f530a4390c671baa8427829a9deeb457cada04a58e7cf22bc9bfc1049586628eed09ba356fcd8abdc67b7830dbe3bc4de1df0e88fc0e"
// }
```
