}

{% hint style="info" %}
IOTA does not have a serialized format for a signed transaction. The response only includes the signature. You must package it correctly before calling `iota_executeTransactionBlock`.

### Typescript Example with IOTA SDK <a href="#typescript-example" id="typescript-example"></a>

First install the IOTA SDK. You can find the full documentation here: <https://docs.iota.org/developer/ts-sdk/typescript/>

Here a code sample to generate a signature via [the Dfns TypeScript SDK](https://github.com/dfns/dfns-sdk-ts):

```typescript
import { IotaClient } from '@iota/iota-sdk/client'
import { Transaction } from '@iota/iota-sdk/transactions'

const walletId = 'wa-4to1j-8tho9-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
const wallet = await dfnsClient.wallets.getWallet({ walletId })

const client = new IotaClient({ url: process.env.IOTA_RPC_URL! })

const transaction = new Transaction()
const [coin] = transaction.splitCoins(transaction.gas, [1])
transaction.transferObjects([coin], '0xb8737aab95b5d62407a921c23d26f28cd94da2df511276693a5cba782ae640ee')
transaction.setSender(wallet.address!)
const bytes = await transaction.build({ client })

const res = await dfnsClient.wallets.generateSignature({
  walletId,
  body: {
    kind: 'Transaction',
    transaction: `0x${Buffer.from(bytes).toString('hex')}`,
  },
})
```
