The Ownable module allows the owner to permanently renounce ownership of the contract. This is a one-way operation that cannot be undone. After ownership is renounced, all functions marked with `#[only_owner]` become permanently inaccessible.

This feature is useful for contracts that need to become fully decentralized after an initial setup phase, or to make a contract **immutable and non-upgradeable** by removing administrative control entirely.

A common use case is renouncing ownership after initial setup to ensure the contract becomes immutable and cannot be upgraded:

## SAC
26
+
27
+
The Stellar Asset Contract (SAC) is a special built-in implementation of [CAP-46-6 Smart Contract Standardized Asset](https://github.com/stellar/stellar-protocol/blob/master/core/cap-0046-06.md) and [SEP-41 Token Interface](https://developers.stellar.org/docs/tokens/token-interface). The SAC acts as a bridge between traditional Stellar assets and Soroban smart contracts.
28
+
29
+
SAC is NOT a library or custom contract; it's a built-in protocol feature that automatically wraps existing Stellar assets (like USDC, XLM, or any issued asset) so they can be used in smart contracts. Think of it as the "smart contract version" of any Stellar asset.
30
+
31
+
Key points to know:
32
+
- Every Stellar asset gets its own SAC instance with a deterministic contract address
33
+
- No bridging or wrapping tokens needed - it's the same asset, just accessible via smart contracts
34
+
- Anyone can deploy a SAC for any asset (the original issuer doesn't need to be involved)
35
+
- SAC implements the same SEP-41 interface as OpenZeppelin fungible tokens, ensuring compatibility
36
+
- When you transfer between Stellar accounts and contracts, the balances are stored differently but represent the same underlying asset
37
+
38
+
When to use SAC vs OpenZeppelin tokens:
39
+
- Use SAC: When you want to interact with existing Stellar assets (USDC, XLM, etc.) in your smart contracts
40
+
- Use OpenZeppelin: When creating new custom tokens with specialized logic, access controls, or unique tokenomics
41
+
42
+
For example, if you want to build a DeFi protocol that uses USDC, you'd deploy the SAC for USDC rather than creating a new token. Users can then interact with the same USDC they hold in their Stellar wallets directly through your smart contract.
