[francelwebdev]

HI,
I am trying to use the recover() function to recover the address of a wallet without success. On the frontend side, the user signs a message and the frontend only returns the signature. My question is how to retrieve the address of the wallet that signed the message with the signature only? THANKS

[francelwebdev]

my backend express sends a message to the frontend, and the frontend needs to sign the message and return the signature string and on the backend i need to retrieve the wallet address by the signature.
