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, 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:

  3. Click Connect to Web3

  4. Head to 39. transferOwnership

  5. Be sure to verify transaction completion.

  6. Once this is done for the contracts you have deployed with, update the ownership of the account.​

2. Update Ownership in Manifold Studio to the secure wallet

To Update Ownership, connect to Manifold Studio with your old account and update the connected wallet for the workspace to your secure 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

Once this is done, you'll be able to login with the old email and new wallet.
