Xahau (XAH)

Sign Xahau transactions. Xahau is an XRPL-derived sidechain, so the payload reuses the XRP Ledger transaction shape — provide the standard Payment fields and the device signs the serialized transaction.

Field	Value
Family	Xahau (XRPL-derived)
coinType	144
keyPath	m/44'/144'/<accountIdx>'/0/0
amount unit	drops (1 XAH = 1e6)
chainId	xahau:mainnet/slip44:144

Supported Methods

Method	Supported
getAddress	✓
signTransaction	✓
signMessage	✗

Requirements

Minimum firmware for each method. The two models are on different version lines, so DCENT Biometric Wallet and DCENT X are listed separately (the numbers are not comparable across models). Below this the request returns the firmware-update error (5005) and the bridge prompts to update.

Method	DCENT Biometric Wallet	DCENT X
getAddress	2.32.0 or higher	1.0.0 or higher
signTransaction	2.32.0 or higher	1.0.0 or higher

getAddress

Retrieves the Xahau account address. Returns an XRPL-style classic address (r…).

Field	Type	Required	Source	Notes
chainId	string	Required	App	Full CAIP-19 — xahau:mainnet/slip44:144
keyPath	string	Required	App	BIP-44 — default m/44'/144'/0'/0/0

Request

await dcent.getAddress({
  chainId: 'xahau:mainnet/slip44:144',
  keyPath: "m/44'/144'/0'/0/0"
})

Response

Field	Type	Description
address	string	XRPL-style classic address (r…) for this Xahau account. Xahau uses the same classic address format as the XRP Ledger.
header.status	string	success on completion

  "header": {
    "version": "1.0",
    "status": "success"

      "address": "rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrputRj8Lyv"
    }
  }
}

signTransaction — Payment

Signs a Xahau transaction. The bridge serializes and signs the XRPL-style transaction and returns the signed tx_blob ready to submit.

payload.transaction:

{
  "TransactionType": "Payment",
  "Account": "rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrputRj8Lyv",
  "Destination": "rrrrrrrrrrrrrhbyxFUyg4pJeFLCBn",
  "Amount": "1000000",
  "Fee": "12",
  "Sequence": 1,
  "LastLedgerSequence": 85000000,
  "Flags": 2147483648
}

Field	Type	Required	Source	Description
TransactionType	string	Required	App	Payment for a value transfer
Account	address	Required-Real	Wallet	Device Xahau account (sender) — must exist and be funded on-chain
Destination	address	Required-Real	App	Recipient classic address (r…)
Amount	string	Required	App	Value in drops; "1000000" = 1 XAH
Fee	string	Required	App	Transaction cost in drops; "12" is a typical base fee
Sequence	number	Required-Real	App	Real, current per-account sequence — the app must supply it, not auto-filled
LastLedgerSequence	number	Required-Real	App	Highest ledger index this transaction is valid for — required so a stale transaction fails closed instead of lingering; a current ledger index plus a small buffer (e.g. +20)
Flags	number	Required	App	2147483648 = tfFullyCanonicalSig (0x80000000) — OR it with the transaction type's own flags. The wire gate no longer rejects a missing Flags, but any transaction the structured path cannot model falls back to blind-signing, and that path does require the canonical-signature flag

Request

await dcent.sign({
  method: 'signTransaction',
  chainId: 'xahau:mainnet/slip44:144',
  payload: {
    keyPath: "m/44'/144'/0'/0/0",
    transaction: {
      TransactionType: 'Payment',
      Account: 'rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrputRj8Lyv',
      Destination: 'rrrrrrrrrrrrrhbyxFUyg4pJeFLCBn',
      Amount: '1000000',
      Fee: '12',
      Sequence: 1,
      LastLedgerSequence: 85000000,
      Flags: 2147483648
    }
  }
})

Response

Field	Type	Description
signature	hex string	The broadcast-ready signed tx_blob — the fully, canonically serialized signed XRPL transaction for Xahau, ready to submit. This is a complete signed transaction blob, not a bare signature.
body.command	string	signTransaction
header.status	string	success on completion

{
  "header": {
    "version": "1.0",
    "status": "success"
  },
  "body": {
    "command": "signTransaction",
    "parameter": {
      "signature": "120000228000…"
    }
  }
}   // signed tx_blob

info

Xahau shares the XRP Ledger transaction format. The same Payment shape applies; the device signs the canonically serialized transaction and returns the signed tx_blob.

Common Mistakes

danger

Missing tfFullyCanonicalSig — leaving Flags: 0 (or omitting it) can yield an Invalid Unsigned result. Set Flags: 2147483648 for a standard Payment. Amounts not in drops — Amount and Fee are integer-string drops, not XAH. 1 XAH = "1000000" drops. Unfunded / non-existent Account — the sender must already exist on-chain and meet the base reserve; otherwise sequence lookup and submission fail. Stale Sequence — fetch the account's current sequence immediately before signing; a reused value is rejected on submit.
