Set asset controller

An asset, often referred to as a token, represents a digital artifact on the TEOS platform that can be stored, managed, and verified on blockchain.

Controller is an entity that manages access rights to assets, allowing you to restrict who can buy, sell, or trade them. Controllers can only be created by the asset issuer.

This endpoint initiates a transaction to set a new controller for the specified asset. The source asset must exist, and the controller address provided must be valid. The transaction must be signed by the asset issuer to complete the action.
