Use the ownership transfer scope

The ownership transfer scope restricts a delegation to ownership transfer calls only. For example, Alice has deployed a smart contract, and she delegates to Bob the ability to transfer ownership of that contract.

Prerequisites​

Ownership transfer scope​

This scope requires a contractAddress, which represents the address of the deployed contract.

Internally, this scope uses the ownershipTransfer caveat enforcer. See the ownership transfer scope reference for more details.

import { createDelegation } from "@metamask/delegation-toolkit";

const contractAddress = "0x1c7D4B196Cb0C7B01d743Fbc6116a902379C7238"

const delegation = createDelegation({
  scope: {
    type: "ownershipTransfer",
    contractAddress,
  },
  to: delegateAccount,
  from: delegatorAccount,
  environment: delegatorAccount.environment,
});
