Universal Signer

Overview

@universal-signer/core provides a unified, type-safe interface for various signing providers, all compatible with Viem v2. It allows you to write blockchain logic once and switch between AWS KMS, Google Cloud KMS, Ledger, Trezor, Turnkey, and local keys through configuration.

Installation

npm install @universal-signer/core viem

Then install only the provider(s) you need:

Quick Start

import { createUniversalClient, createAwsAccount } from "@universal-signer/core";
import { mainnet } from "viem/chains";
import { http } from "viem";

// 1. Create an account
const account = await createAwsAccount({
  keyId: "alias/my-key",
  region: "us-east-1"
});

// 2. Create a Viem-compatible client
const client = createUniversalClient(account, mainnet, http());

// 3. Sign transactions or messages normally
const hash = await client.sendTransaction({
  to: "0x...",
  value: 1000000000000000n
});
