# 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 [`invalid_argument`](/docs/errors/invalid-argument).
