​
 


Owner Address is your wallet address and you can transfer out your safebox assets from this address after depoyed on-chain
One wallet can only create one safebox, and vice versa
The on-chain password s not the safebox’s password, but the wallet's. The safebox can be transferred to another wallet through social recovery, to transfer all the assets in the safebox (see Social Recovery for details)

Due to security restrictions, you cannot transfer your assets to any address but only Owner address, to avoid wrong operations


ZKSAFE supports the transfer of NFT（ERC721）besides tokens (ERC20), other asset types (such as ERC1155) are not supported for now


Social Recovery
If you forget the password or private key, you can transfer ownership of the safebox to your other new wallet, so you can use the new wallet's on-chain password + private key to withdraw the assets


There are 2 ways for transferring the ownership of the safebox:
1.Set multi-signing wallet ahead, which can be your cold wallet or your friend’s wallet, to initiate multi-signing
2.Use your on-chain password and your private key
The original wallet will be invalid after your transferring the ownership of the safebox to new wallet
Reminding：ZK-SNARK is still need time for testing, and we could exclude the possibility of assets loss caused by password issues, so it’s strongly suggested that each user can set the multi-signing
