# AccountRejectsLockedAlpha (/docs/errors/chain/AccountRejectsLockedAlpha)

Locked alpha was being transferred to a coldkey whose `AccountFlags` do not have the accept-locked-alpha bit set, e.g. during a lock transfer or coldkey swap of locks. Check the destination coldkey's `AccountFlags` storage and have the recipient opt in to receiving locked alpha before retrying.

Declared by the `SubtensorModule` pallet; it classifies to the semantic code [`policy_violation`](/docs/errors/policy-violation).

Declared at [`pallets/subtensor/src/macros/errors.rs#L330`](/code/pallets/subtensor/src/macros/errors.rs#L330).

## Remediation [#remediation]

The destination coldkey rejects locked alpha; they must opt in, or send unlocked stake only

The same explanation is available in the terminal: `btcli explain AccountRejectsLockedAlpha`.
