Hi guys. What is the easiest way to prove TON-wallet ownership?
Almost all cryptowallets have “sign message” functionallity to sing text using private key, but I wasn’t able to find such thing in TON cryptowallets. Maybe it will be added in the future?
P.S. Example of using “sing message” to prove wallet ownership: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zanbc1KYLiw

It's just a regular cryptography. You can easily sign any message if you have private key or public key and known algorithm. It is not related to blockchain.

Send some unique predefined message from the wallet using transfer.

I know it, but I would like to find user-friendly way to do it (e.g. sign a message using the UI and send the signature to the web service you want to verify ownership of)

The public key must be shared somehow for this to work.

sounds 👍
I’ll check it out, thanks

Is there problem in sharing your public key to some web-service?

Ofcourse

And even if you know the public key, it is not that trivial to verify if it corresponds to the specific account.

It's true
With ethereum wallets we used some sophisticated mechanism to derive public address from signed message.
