What to do with a compromised wallet

What do I do if my wallet has been hacked?

Updated this week

First, take a deep breath.

If your wallet has been drained or compromised, there are important steps you can take right now to protect your assets.

  1. Transfer contract ownership to a new wallet

  2. Update ownership in Manifold Studio to a secure wallet

Transferring a contract to a new wallet with a new Studio account, will not display the contract in the Studio. If you would like to use Studio from the new account, the secure wallet needs to be added to the original workspace.

1. Transfer Contract Ownership to a New Wallet

If your wallet is compromised, you must transfer ownership of your contracts to a secure wallet. If there are multiple contracts you will need to follow this process each time.

✅ How to transfer:

This will require a small amount of funds to cover the gas costs associated

  1. Go to your contract’s Etherscan page.

  2. Navigate to the Contract Tab -> Write as Proxy.

  3. Click Connect to Web3

  4. Head to 39. transferOwnership

  5. Be sure to verify transaction completion.

2. Update Ownership in Manifold Studio to the secure wallet

With the secure wallet, once the ownership of contracts has been transferred on-chain, connect to Manifold Studio with your old account and update the connected wallet.

This will allow you to use the same email address for Studio but use a different wallet.

Steps:

  1. Log into studio.manifold.xyz with your old wallet.

  2. Go to your workspace (The gear icon next to your Workspace name)

  3. Profile Settings -> Overview.

  4. Click on Change address and connect your desired wallet
