# ColdkeySwapAnnounced (/docs/errors/chain/ColdkeySwapAnnounced)

The coldkey has a pending swap announcement, so all but a small allow-list of extrinsics are blocked until the swap completes or is cleared. Check the `ColdkeySwapAnnouncements` storage for the coldkey and either finish the swap with `coldkey_swap` or clear the announcement.

Declared by the `SubtensorModule` pallet; it classifies to the semantic code [`already_exists`](/docs/errors/already-exists).
