# set-reject-locked-alpha (/docs/tx/set-reject-locked-alpha)

Coldkeys reject incoming locked alpha by default, so a locked-stake
transfer (`transfer_stake` of conviction-locked alpha, or a coldkey
swap that carries locks) to a coldkey that has not opted in fails with
`AccountRejectsLockedAlpha`. Pass `enabled=False` to opt in and
accept locked alpha, or `enabled=True` to restore the default and
reject it again. A per-coldkey account flag that moves no funds by
itself.

## Parameters [#parameters]

| Parameter | Type    | Required | Description                                                                   |
| --------- | ------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `enabled` | boolean | yes      | True to reject incoming locked alpha (the chain default), false to accept it. |

Address parameters (`--hotkey`, `--coldkey`, `--dest`, ...) accept a raw ss58
address, an address-book or proxy-book name, or a local wallet/hotkey name.

## CLI [#cli]

Preview with `--dry-run` (shows fee, effects, and policy result without
submitting), then submit:

```bash
btcli tx set-reject-locked-alpha \
  --enabled/--no-enabled --dry-run
btcli tx set-reject-locked-alpha \
  --enabled/--no-enabled -w my_coldkey
```

## Python [#python]

```python
import bittensor as bt
from bittensor.wallet import Wallet

wallet = Wallet(name="my_coldkey", hotkey="my_hotkey")
intent = bt.SetRejectLockedAlpha(enabled=True)

sub = bt.Subtensor()
plan = sub.plan(intent, wallet)   # fee, effects, policy — no submission
result = sub.execute(intent, wallet)
if not result.success:
    print(result.error.code, result.error.remediation)
```

(`bt.Subtensor` is also the async client — `async with bt.Subtensor() as client:`
— see [The client](/docs/concepts/client).) Or build the intent by op name, as
an agent would:

```python
result = sub.execute_tool("set_reject_locked_alpha", {...}, wallet)
```

## On-chain implementation [#on-chain-implementation]

`SubtensorModule.set_reject_locked_alpha` — [`pallets/subtensor/src/macros/dispatches.rs#L2483`](/code/pallets/subtensor/src/macros/dispatches.rs#L2481-L2488):

```rust
#[pallet::call_index(142)]
#[pallet::weight((<T as Config>::WeightInfo::set_reject_locked_alpha(), DispatchClass::Normal, Pays::Yes))]
pub fn set_reject_locked_alpha(origin: OriginFor<T>, enabled: bool) -> DispatchResult {
    let coldkey = ensure_signed(origin)?;
    Self::set_accept_locked_alpha(&coldkey, !enabled);
    Self::deposit_event(Event::RejectLockedAlphaUpdated { coldkey, enabled });
    Ok(())
}
```

Delegates to [`set_accept_locked_alpha`](/code/pallets/subtensor/src/staking/lock.rs#L492).
