How do I change ownership of my Safe or DSProxy?
While the process of changing ownership for both Safe Smart Wallets and DSProxys is simple - the actual steps are considerably different:
Changing ownership of a Safe
To change the owner of a Safe - first, connect to the Safe app and open your Safe wallet. Once there, click on the "Settings" tab:
Once there, click on the "Replace signer" button, which is represented as an icon to the right of your wallet address.
On the next page, you'll just need to input the wallet address of the new owner and execute the transaction:
Click "Next" - and you'll get a final preview of the transaction, along with an option to simulate it on Tenderly.
Changing ownership of a DSProxy
One option is to change ownership directly on Etherscan by using the "Set Owner" function.
While this gets the job done, if you plan on using it on DeFi Saver - we do not recommend this as the Set Owner function will not reflect the change in ownership on DeFi Saver's frontend.
Instead - the easiest option is to visit the following link directly: https://app.defisaver.com/change-proxy-owner/
It will take you to a page on DeFi Saver that's only accessable through this URL:
From there - simply connect your EOA owner wallet to DeFi Saver, and input the new owner address for your DSProxy.
This will ensure that the ownership change is recognized by DeFi Saver's frontend.
While changing ownership of both Safes and DSProxys is relatively straightforward, we can't stress enought that inputting an incorrect wallet address can result in your permanently losing access to your Safe/DSProxy. Please pay extra attention and triple-check before executing the ownership change, as a mistake cannot be reversed (unless you have access to the wallet you input, even if it might not be the correct one).
