How do I transfer ownership of a contract
Updated over a week ago

You can transfer ownership of a contract by using the TransferOwnership function of the contract.

This could be useful in cases where you'd like your Manifold Creator contract to be owned by a Gnosis Safe, or when you've created your contract with a software wallet and want to transfer it to a hardware wallet.

Things to note before you transfer ownership:

  • Only the current owner of the contract has permission to transfer ownership of the contract.

  • Transferring ownership is an irrevocable action. Make sure you are transferring to the correct address before confirming your transaction.
