Transfer Ownership of your Smart Account

Overview

This tutorial provides insights into how to transfer the ownership of a smart account.

caution

Transfer Ownership is performed within the framework of either the ECDSA Ownership Module or the Multichain Validation Module. If you are utilizing the Session Key Manager, you will need to recreate the smart account client with the new owner (new signer). This involves specifying the smart account address and recreating the session.

const newOwner = "0x..."
let smartAccount = await createSmartAccountClient({
    signer,
    paymasterUrl,
    bundlerUrl,
})
const smartAccountAddress = await smartAccount.getAccountAddress();

const response = await smartAccount.transferOwnership(newOwner, DEFAULT_ECDSA_OWNERSHIP_MODULE, {
    paymasterServiceData: { mode: PaymasterMode.SPONSORED }
})

const receipt = await response.wait()

// Recreate the smart account client with the new owner and specify the address of the smart account
smartAccount = await createSmartAccountClient({
    signer: newSigner,
    paymasterUrl,
    bundlerUrl,
    accountAddress: smartAccountAddress
})

caution

Failing to specify the accountAddress parameter after executing transferOwnership() may result in issues, such as using the wrong smart account. Smart account addresses are counterfactual, meaning that using a new signer will generate an entirely new address. Therefore, it's crucial to explicitly specify the desired address."
