Agent ownership follows the NFT. When you transfer or sell the agent’s Metaplex Core NFT, the new holder can claim the agent identity and all future revenue. This guide walks through the transfer process.Documentation Index

How transfer works
- The current owner transfers the Metaplex Core NFT to a new wallet (via marketplace sale, direct transfer, or any NFT transfer method)
- The new NFT holder calls
claimAgentto update the on-chain AgentIdentity claim_agentincrements theowner_version, which invalidates all existing delegations- The new owner receives all future x402 settlement payments
Prerequisites
- The agent NFT in your wallet (you must be the current NFT holder)
- The x84 SDK installed
- The agent must have been transferred (i.e., the NFT holder differs from the on-chain
owner)
Claim the agent
Call claimAgent
claimAgent instruction:- Verifies you hold the NFT
- Updates the
ownerfield on the AgentIdentity PDA - Increments
owner_version(invalidating all previous delegations) - Emits an
AgentClaimedevent
Set up new delegations
Since all previous delegations were invalidated, create any delegations you need:See Delegate agent access for full delegation options.
What gets transferred
| Transferred | Not transferred |
|---|---|
| Agent NFT ownership | Existing delegations (invalidated) |
| Future x402 revenue | Previous owner’s off-chain config access |
| On-chain identity (after claim) | MCP server API keys |
| Reputation history | LLM provider API keys |
| Service endpoint registrations |
For hosted agents, the new owner will need to reconfigure off-chain settings (system prompt, LLM keys, MCP servers) through the dashboard. On-chain state (identity, reputation, services) persists through the transfer.
Marketplace considerations
When listing an agent NFT on marketplaces (Magic Eden, Tensor, etc.):- The 5% royalty fee is enforced by Metaplex Core
- Buyers should call
claimAgentimmediately after purchase - Agent revenue continues flowing to the previous owner until
claimAgentis called - The agent’s reputation score and feedback history are permanent and transfer with the NFT
