Transferring Identity
Last updated
Last updated
The Modular Naming Service allows users to transfer ownership of any claimed identity they own through a secure and efficient process. This process involves interaction with smart contracts on the blockchain to facilitate the transfer of identity records from the current owner to a new owner.
Access to Transfer Identity page The user initiates the transfer by accessing the Identity details page associated with the identity they wish to transfer or from the My Identities page. Both options redirect to the Transfer Identity page.
Initiation of Transfer By clicking the "Transfer" feature, the user triggers a transaction that interacts with the underlying smart contracts responsible for identity management.
New Owner Wallet Address Input The user inputs the wallet address of the New Owner into the designated field. This address must correspond to a wallet capable of managing identities on the MNS.
Transaction Approval
Smart Contract Interaction The MNS interacts with its smart contracts to:
Validate the current ownership of the identity.
Update the ownership record in the identity registry.
Completion of Transfer Upon successful execution of the transaction, the identity is removed from the previous owner’s account and added to the new owner’s account within the identity registry. The new owner can then access their list of identities, which now includes the transferred identity.
Verification of Transfer After the new owner connects their wallet to the MNS, they will see the transferred identity in their identity management interface, confirming the successful transfer of ownership.
