WELCOME TO THE ETHEREUM SIGNATURE DATABASE

Function calls in the Ethereum Virtual Machine are specified by the first four
bytes of data sent with a transaction. These 4-byte signatures are defined as
the first four bytes of the Keccak hash (SHA3) of the canonical representation
of the function signature. The database also contains mappings for event
signatures. Unlike function signatures, they are defined as 32-bytes of the
Keccak hash (SHA3) of the canonical form of the event signature. Since this is a
one-way operation, it is not possible to derive the human-readable
representation of the function or event from the bytes signature. This database
is meant to allow mapping those bytes signatures back to their human-readable
versions.


THERE ARE 1,208,886 SIGNATURES IN THE DATABASE
