LOBSTR Signer extension: How do I initiate and sign transactions

LOBSTR signer extension is a browser extension designed to allow LOBSTR users to securely connect to other services built on the Stellar network using their wallets. The extension sends all transactions from a connected web service to your LOBSTR mobile app for signature. Once you receive a push notification with a transaction request on your LOBSTR app, you can review the full transaction details and decide whether to confirm or reject the transaction.

If you haven't connected your Stellar wallet to the LOBSTR signer extension yet, please review this article.

LOBSTR signer extension transmits transactions between the LOBSTR app and third-party services using an encrypted connection. Your private key is stored fully encrypted on your mobile device and is never exposed to the connected service, ensuring maximum security.

Here are the few steps needed to sign outgoing transactions (e.g. from StellarX):

1. After a connection to the Signer extension is established, choose LOBSTR wallet to log in to StellarX and approve the connection request.

2. Make any transaction via StellarX interface (e.g. trade).

3. Open your LOBSTR app and confirm the signature request from the extension. Done!

Please note that every time you make an action in your wallet, like making a payment or creating an offer, you will now be asked to sign the transaction from the LOBSTR app.
