Sui Transfer Authority

The transfer authority tool helps token creators move different control types for Sui tokens to other wallet addresses. This feature is important for:

• Giving project control to new team members
• Setting up shared decision-making systems
• Making tokens more secure by splitting up control
• Managing multi-person authority setups

This tool makes it easy to manage who controls what parts of your token on the Sui blockchain, helping your project grow and change as needed.

The 20lab Sui transfer authority tool lets you move these key authority types for Sui tokens:

• Treasury cap - Controls who can create new tokens and update metadata
• Metadata cap - Controls who can update token information
• Upgrade cap - Controls who can upgrade token's Move smart contract
• Deny cap - Controls who can freeze addresses or pause entire token

These authorities cover basic token functions and advanced features like metadata or freezing, giving you full control over your token management.

No, you cannot undo authority transfers once they're done. After you transfer authority:

• The old authority holder loses all control over that specific authority type
• Only the new authority holder can use that authority
• The new authority holder must choose to transfer it back if you want it returned

Because transfers are permanent, make sure to double-check all wallet addresses before confirming. If you're new to authority transfers, try it with a test token first.

Yes, you can send different authority types to different wallet addresses. This lets you:

• Give different team members control over different parts
• Share responsibilities among multiple people
• Create checks and balances for better governance
• Slowly move toward community ownership of the token

For example, you could put treasury cap in a DAO's control while keeping deny cap with the founding team for emergencies.

Yes, you can transfer any authority type to a multisig wallet address. This provides:

• Better security through required multiple approvals
• Protection against single points of failure
• Governance that requires agreement from multiple people
• Compatibility with popular Sui multisig solutions

Transferring to a multisig is especially recommended for valuable tokens or projects with multiple stakeholders. The tool works with many Sui multisig systems.

Sending authority to the wrong address can have serious problems:

• If sent to a non-existent address or one without a private key, the authority is lost forever
• If sent to a wrong but valid address, only that address owner can now use the authority
• There is no way to recover incorrectly transferred authority

To avoid mistakes, we recommend:

• Double-checking all destination addresses before confirming
• Using address book features to save and label commonly used addresses
• Testing with small or test tokens before transferring authority for valuable tokens

Yes, the transfer authority tool works with all Sui tokens on the blockchain, including:

• Standard Sui tokens (with treasury, metadata and upgrade caps)
• Regulated Sui coins with enabled freezing or pausing (with deny cap)

The authorities you can transfer depend on which features your token was created with. For example, deny cap will only show up if your token was created with the freezable or pausable features enabled.
