I want to use rust code
to transfer of InternetComputer-neuron-hotkey
from one IC account to another account
and provide this interface to the frontend,
what should I do ?
I found that js can do this, but rust not found yet.
hotkeys are āidentitiesā added to control neurons. You donāt transfer them. You can add as many identities to a neuron as you want. Delete the previous hotkey and add a new one (You can say thatās a transfer of a hotkey) But hotkeys donāt own the neuron (if thatās what you think), not sure why you would want that.
In Rust, you need to use the governance canister interface and make the right calls.

Iām digging up an old topic to ask a question about removing Hotkeys from neurons.
In a situation where I am a neuron controller, I can freely modify who is the Hotkey for my neuron, but if someone adds my principal ID as their Hotkey, it becomes impossible to remove it (at least from the NNS Dapp level).
How to remove yourself as a Hotkey without permission? Iā am writing only about NNS neurons because I havenāt noticed such a problem with SNSs.
If I understand you correctly, you do not want to be a hotkey of a neuron controlled by another principal, but other than being able to operate extra neurons, what concrete harm is this causing? Can you just ignore it? Seems benign, but maybe Iām missing something.
Why I ask: we could change NNS (governance) so that hotkeys can remove themselves (from neurons that they donāt control). However, if not being able to do that is not causing any ārealā harm, I would recommend that we (the NNS team) not spend time working on that.
If someone in the community would like to implement such changes, one tip I can offer is to start looking here.
