access-control:transfer-ownership

Transfer ownership of an Ownable contract. On Ownable2Step contracts this stages the pending owner, who must then accept.

Syntax

access-control:transfer-ownership <contract> <newOwner>

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
contract	address	Ownable contract address
newOwner	address	New owner address

Examples

load access-control

# Hand over a token contract to the DAO treasury
access-control:transfer-ownership 0xC18360217D8F7Ab5e7c516566761Ea12Ce7F9D72 0x4F2083f5fBede34C2714aFfb3105539775f7FE64

Notes

• Must be sent by the current owner.
• On plain Ownable contracts the transfer is immediate. On Ownable2Step contracts this only stages the pending owner, who must then run access-control:accept-ownership; passing the zero address cancels a pending transfer.
