User Guide: Transferring Your .locker Identity to an Alternate Account/Wallet
Allow users to transfer their.locker identity (NFT) to a new account or wallet in a secure and verifiable manner.
Critical Criteria:
- Ownership is checked both via your email and via your wallet.
- This feature ensures that the linkage between your Web2 (registrant email) and Web3 (wallet address) remains seamless.
Kindly note that this process transfers only the Web3 NFT identity. The registrant email can be updated but only via the web2 registrar.
Transfer Process
Start the Transfer:
- Once your NFT or identity has been acquired successfully, go to your.locker dashboard and click the Transfer button.
Confirm Transfer Intent:
- A pop-up will be shown, detailing how it works. Read the info, and when ready, confirm to proceed.
Get Transfer Link:
- Upon verification, you will be sent a special "magic link" to the email address you've registered with. That link is necessary to prove you own the identity at.locker.
Verify Email Ownership:
- Open the email and click on the magic link. This confirms that you hold control of the registered email associated with the.locker identity.
Click "New Wallet" and Confirm Verification:
- When you click on the magic link, you will go to a transfer page. Then, select the new account/wallet you want to use with your.locker identity.
- You will then be prompted to sign a message in your wallet, proving that you have control of the new wallet.
Complete the Transfer:
- It will transfer the NFT to your new account/wallet once signed successfully.
- You’ll receive a confirmation email once the transfer is complete.
This transfer flow involves two significant ownership verification steps:
- Magic Link (Email Verification): Validates that you maintain control over the registered email address.
- Message Signing (Wallet Verification): This proves that you own the destination wallet to which the NFT will be transferred.
No Effect on Current Functionality: It's an added functionality, and it will not have any effects on the rest of your.locker account.
Via wallet verification and email, the process is realized with a safe and standardized connection between Web2 and Web3 identity.
Note
In case the transfer option is not available right after claiming your .locker identity
Wait for one Bitcoin block (approximately 30 minutes) after claiming your.locker identity successfully to activate the transfer option. This is to make sure that the processing and verification are done in full. Once the time is up, the transfer option unlocks on your.locker dashboard.
