acl:transfer-ownership

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

Syntax

acl:transfer-ownership <of> <contract> <to> <newOwner>

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
of	command	Keyword of
contract	address	Ownable contract address
to	command	Keyword to
newOwner	address	New owner address

Examples

load acl

# Hand over a token contract to the DAO treasury
acl:transfer-ownership of 0xC18360217D8F7Ab5e7c516566761Ea12Ce7F9D72 to 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 acl:accept-ownership; passing the zero address cancels a pending transfer.
