# 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"
// }
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.risewallet.io/introduction/integrations/integrate-rise-wallet/without-the-wallet-adapter/signing-messages.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
