Purpose:
The isOwner
function provides a way to verify if a specific address corresponds to the owner of the validator smart contract. This functionality can be useful in various scenarios, such as:
- Restricting access to certain administrative functions within the contract.
- Granting voting rights or other privileges only to the owner.
Implementation Details:
-
isOwner Function:
- Define a public function named
isOwner
that takes anaddress
argument (owner
). - Inside the function, compare the provided address (
owner
) with the stored owner address (owner
). - Return
true
if they match, indicating the address is the owner. Otherwise, returnfalse
.
- Define a public function named
Solidity Code Example:
// isOwner : check if the given address is an owner or not.
function isOwner(address owner) public view returns (bool) {
for (uint i = 0; i < owners.length; i++) {
if (owners[i] == owner) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
Benefits:
- Improved security by restricting access to sensitive functionalities.
- Increased flexibility in managing validator permissions.
- Enhanced transparency by allowing users to verify ownership.
Tips:
This is from @0xbeny idea, I just help him to improve the code

This implementation could add many benefits to potential developments in the future where owners/operators can be verified for specific purposes within an application or for voting rights. I like the proposal.
This looks like it will be quite useful!
Looks good
Looks good. It makes it easier to verify the owner's address in one function call.
This is a very cool idea. What if we also had a wallet swap function. If the wallet ever gets compromised the owner can swap to a new XDC wallet without shutting down the node.
Any ETA for this on mainnet?
No ETA now ,but i think it need wait a long time
