In brief
A Kaspa wallet is software for keys, addresses, signing, and transaction workflow. Network evidence is checked separately from what a wallet screen shows.
What this page explains#
Wallet signing readiness checks that a wallet preserves intent through build, sign, decode, submit, and observe. This page sits in Testnets And Production Readiness. It gives the topic a plain-language handle first, then shows the working idea, the mechanism, the source trail, and any limits that still matter. This category treats readiness as evidence discipline. Testnet success, explorer observations, wallet signing, release checks, and production review each answer different questions and must not be substituted for each other.
The writing follows a simple Kaspa documentation pattern: answer the practical question first, then link outward for details. The closest public sources for this page are RK-WALLET, RK-WALLET-TEST, RK-WRPC, RK-SIGHASH, RK-RPC-TX. Local notes can help choose what to explain, but public-facing references resolve to upstream websites, repositories, papers, release pages, or docs.
How to think about it#
The practical model starts by naming the layer that owns the topic: wallet use, node operation, consensus, transaction validation, Toccata script behavior, tooling, or research. From there, the page shows which public source can support the explanation and where the explanation becomes incomplete.
For Wallet Signing Readiness, the model is built around these anchors: unsigned intent is recorded; signed bytes are decoded and compared; sighash coverage is source-checked; Rusty Kaspa wallet generator tests can support narrow field-preservation claims; end-to-end build, sign, decode, submit, and accepted observation remains unknown until checked on the target network. This model is useful, but it does not encode every constant, branch, error type, or edge case. Those details belong in the source path and the source notes.
How it works#
1. unsigned intent is recorded. Readiness pages are evidence gates. A testnet result is useful only with network name, date, release or branch, node/wallet/tool versions, and accepted evidence. Release notes and source paths support stronger claims; old testnet observations remain historical unless refreshed.
2. signed bytes are decoded and compared. Readiness pages are evidence gates. A testnet result is useful only with network name, date, release or branch, node/wallet/tool versions, and accepted evidence. Release notes and source paths support stronger claims; old testnet observations remain historical unless refreshed.
3. sighash coverage is source-checked. Readiness pages are evidence gates. A testnet result is useful only with network name, date, release or branch, node/wallet/tool versions, and accepted evidence. Release notes and source paths support stronger claims; old testnet observations remain historical unless refreshed.
4. Rusty Kaspa wallet generator tests can support narrow field-preservation claims. Readiness pages are evidence gates. A testnet result is useful only with network name, date, release or branch, node/wallet/tool versions, and accepted evidence. Release notes and source paths support stronger claims; old testnet observations remain historical unless refreshed.
5. end-to-end build, sign, decode, submit, and accepted observation remains unknown until checked on the target network. Network identity is the first readiness check. The page records the exact testnet or mainnet context, address prefix or suffix assumptions, node command or release, and the endpoint being observed so that evidence from one network is not reused as evidence for another.
This mechanism section treats readiness as dated evidence: network, release, branch or commit, tool version, observation, and accepted/rejected result are all part of the claim.
How to check it#
| Step | Check | Evidence gate |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Check unsigned intent is recorded. | Use RK-WALLET, RK-WALLET-TEST, RK-WRPC; add date, network, release or commit, tool version, and accepted/rejected evidence. |
| 2 | Check signed bytes are decoded and compared. | Use RK-WALLET, RK-WALLET-TEST, RK-WRPC; add date, network, release or commit, tool version, and accepted/rejected evidence. |
| 3 | Check sighash coverage is source-checked. | Use RK-WALLET, RK-WALLET-TEST, RK-WRPC; add date, network, release or commit, tool version, and accepted/rejected evidence. |
| 4 | Check Rusty Kaspa wallet generator tests can support narrow field-preservation claims. | Use RK-WALLET, RK-WALLET-TEST, RK-WRPC; add date, network, release or commit, tool version, and accepted/rejected evidence. |
| 5 | Check end-to-end build, sign, decode, submit, and accepted observation remains unknown until checked on the target network. | Use RK-WALLET, RK-WALLET-TEST, RK-WRPC; add date, network, release or commit, tool version, and accepted/rejected evidence. |
When using this page for readiness, record the date, network, release or commit, tool versions, endpoint or explorer observation, and accepted or rejected result. Testnet success, local logs, and live API observations remain scoped evidence until release and source checks support broader wording.
