Step 1: Understand Contract Locking on Bithumb

• What is contract locking? Contract locking is a security feature that allows you to restrict access to your Bithumb contracts. Once a contract is locked, only authorized users with the appropriate permissions can view or modify its contents.

• Why lock a contract? Locking your contracts provides several benefits, including:

  • Enhanced security: Protects your contracts from unauthorized access, reducing the risk of fraud or malicious activity.
  • Increased reliability: Ensures that only authorized users can make changes to your contracts, maintaining their integrity and validity.
  • Improved compliance: Helps you meet regulatory requirements and industry best practices for contract management.

Step 2: Prerequisites for Contract Locking

• Bithumb account: You must have a registered Bithumb account to lock contracts. Create an account if you do not have one.
• Eligible contracts: Not all contracts on Bithumb can be locked. Only contracts that meet certain criteria, such as open contracts or contracts with specific permissions, are eligible for locking.
• Authorization: To lock a contract, you must have the necessary authorization to do so. This typically requires you to be the contract owner or have been granted specific permissions by the contract owner.

Step 3: Identifying Eligible Contracts

• Log in to your Bithumb account and navigate to the "Contracts" section.
• Filter the contracts list to identify eligible contracts that can be locked.
• Check the contract status and permissions to ensure that you have the authority to lock it.

Step 4: Initiating the Contract Locking Process

• Once you have identified the eligible contract, click on the "Lock" button associated with the contract.
• A confirmation dialog box will appear asking you to confirm the locking action.
• Review the information carefully and confirm your decision to lock the contract.

Step 5: Setting Contract Lock Permissions

• After initiating the locking process, you will be prompted to set the permissions for the locked contract.
• Choose the appropriate permissions to control who can access and modify the contract.

• Consider the following factors when setting permissions:

  • Contract owner: The contract owner has full control over the contract, including locking and unlocking it.
  • Authorized users: You can specify additional users who have permission to view or modify the contract while it is locked.
  • Public: Allowing public access to a locked contract makes its contents visible to all users.

Step 6: Completing the Contract Locking Process

• Once you have set the contract lock permissions, click on the "Confirm" button to complete the locking process.
• The locked contract will be moved to the "Locked Contracts" section in your account.
• You can view the locked contracts and manage their permissions from this section.

Step 7: Unlocking a Contract

  • Navigate to the "Locked Contracts" section in your account.
