I will provide a step -by -step guide on how to sign with Metamask without using Web3.
Why do Metamask versions completely remove the web3?
Before we dive into the solution, let’s quickly understand why metamask versions removed the web3. This change has been made to ensure better compatibility and security for users who do not have a web3 wallet or want to use Metamask on mobile devices without an internet connection.
Sign with metamask without web3
To sign transactions with Metamask, you will need to create a subscription key using the Metamask: signing-key command. Here is as:
- Create a new subscription key : Run the following command at your terminal:

`
Replace
by the desired name for your subscription key.
- Import the subscription key : You will need to import the subscription key signed to the metamask wallet using a web3 compatible wallet, such as metamask or wallet on mobile devices.

Assuming you have generated a new signature key and imported it correctly, here is how you can sign transactions with Metamask:
