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

• Install and set up the Smart Accounts Kit.
• Configure the Smart Accounts Kit.
• Create a delegator account.
• Create a delegate account.

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, ScopeType } from '@metamask/smart-accounts-kit'

const contractAddress = '0x1c7D4B196Cb0C7B01d743Fbc6116a902379C7238'

const delegation = createDelegation({
  scope: {
    type: ScopeType.OwnershipTransfer,
    contractAddress,
  },
  to: delegateAccount,
  from: delegatorAccount,
  environment: delegatorAccount.environment,
})
