Ownership Settings

Control, transfer, or lock token contract authority—no coding required.

Manage your smart contract ownership directly from the CryptoHub dashboard. Whether you're transitioning teams, renouncing control, or locking ownership for transparency, every action is on-chain and secured by your wallet.

What Is Ownership?

The Owner Wallet is the address with elevated permissions on the token contract—capable of adjusting taxes, minting, updating metadata, and more.

Ownership can be transferred, renounced, or frozen to align with your project's lifecycle and decentralization goals.

Ownership Tools

CryptoHub offers a range of actions to give you control and flexibility over the lifecycle of your token’s authority.

🔁 Transfer Ownership

Assign contract ownership to a different address (e.g., multisig, DAO, or ops wallet).

🧊 Freeze Owner

Freezing ownership disables all future changes to contract control—no one can ever transfer or reclaim ownership again.

🕊️ Renounce Ownership

This action removes the owner completely—leaving the contract with no owner.

🔄 Token Recovery

If supported by your token contract, this tool lets you recover tokens (ETH, ERC20, etc.) mistakenly sent to the contract address.
