  "kind": "Transaction",
  "transaction": "0x00000200080100000000000000002044732583a657f2d13bce82acc611e5ea6424508036f27e3a3277f24f55f9bfc60202000101000001010300000000010100b8737aab95b5d62407a921c23d26f28cd94da2df511276693a5cba782ae640ee01122efbd2244535c134ab802ad247b3ece73641e7ea8169b199bb6fa644af3ef32ffa94070000000020608d3f1e7023d0947f8274db06898744fadb3598769f8463070536ce489ca336b8737aab95b5d62407a921c23d26f28cd94da2df511276693a5cba782ae640eee803000000000000e06f3c000000000000"
}
```

{% 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`.
{% endhint %}

### 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')}`,
  },
})
```

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:

```
GET https://docs-legacy.dfns.co/d/api-docs/keys/generate-signature/iota.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
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.
