Sign In With Ethereum (SIWE)

Authentication is difficult. SIWE makes life easy.

0x225...c3B5➡️luc.eth

Specification (see spec)

The SIWE Specification is rather simple. It describes a message format that a user ought to sign using their keys to be able to sign-in. The message MUST include a subject, nonce, and a timestamp. These parameters prevent replay-attacks, cross-site usage, and more, all while maintaining a very human readable form.

An example payload looks like the following:

localhost wants you to sign in with your Ethereum account:
0x225f137127d9067788314bc7fcc1f36746a3c3B5

This is a test statement.

Implementations

The team at SpruceID has done a phenomenal job writing plug-and-play utilities that let you easily integrate ethereum-based authentication into your project. Whether you are using Next.js, React, or OpenID Connect.

In addition to the above SIWE has been integrated into connectkit & more.
