SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides a minimal, interoperable interface for owning and transferring control of smart contracts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Defines owner() view and transferOwnership(address newOwner) external to standardize contract ownership across ecosystems.
  • Includes OwnershipTransferred event to signal ownership changes and enable auditing and UI integration.
  • Supports optional ERC165 interface discovery, enabling tooling to detect and interact with compliant contracts.

Quick Start

Implement the ERC173 interface by exposing owner() and transferOwnership(address newOwner) and emitting OwnershipTransferred on ownership changes.

FAQPage Schema
What is the standard interface for smart contract ownership and transfer?

The standard interface for smart contract ownership defines an owner() view function and a transferOwnership(address newOwner) external function to manage control. It emits an OwnershipTransferred event to signal changes for auditing and UI integration.

How do I implement ERC173 ownership in an Ethereum smart contract?

Implement ERC173 ownership by exposing the owner() view and transferOwnership(address newOwner) functions in your contract. You must emit the OwnershipTransferred(address, address) event whenever the owner changes to remain compliant.

Does the ERC173 ownership interface support ERC165 interface detection?

Yes, the ERC173 ownership interface supports optional ERC165 interface discovery. This allows tooling to automatically detect and interact with compliant contracts by querying their supported interfaces.

When do I need a standard contract ownership interface for admin control?

You need a standard contract ownership interface for admin control when managing governance, upgradeability, or administrative actions. It provides an interoperable way to transfer control of smart contracts across Ethereum-based projects.

Can I use ERC173 for upgradeability scenarios in smart contracts?

Yes, ERC173 is applicable to upgradeability scenarios in smart contracts. It provides a minimal, standard interface to own and transfer control, which is essential for authorizing contract upgrades.

Why does my contract need an OwnershipTransferred event?

Your contract needs an OwnershipTransferred event to signal ownership changes and enable auditing. Emitting this event allows external UI integration and off-chain tracking of contract control transfers.
