requestEncryptionKey

requestEncryptionKey(walletAddress: string, signMessage: SignMessageFn, embeddedWalletSigner?: EmbeddedWalletSignerFn): Promise<void>

Defined in: src/react/useEncryption.ts:730

Requests the user to sign a message to generate an encryption key. If a key already exists in memory for the given wallet, resolves immediately.

Note: Keys are stored in memory only and do not persist across page reloads. This is a security feature - users must sign once per session to derive their key.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
`walletAddress`	`string`	The wallet address to generate the key for
`signMessage`	`SignMessageFn`	Function to sign a message (returns signature hex string)
`embeddedWalletSigner?`	`EmbeddedWalletSignerFn`	Optional function for silent signing with embedded wallets

Returns

Promise<void>

Promise that resolves when the key is available
