How x/licensedstaking enforces NFT license preconditions on all staking operations, including pre-checks and post-call hooks.
License gating is enforced by the x/licensedstaking module, which wraps the standard staking MsgServer. Every staking operation runs through a two-phase check: a pre-check that validates license state before the operation executes, and a post-call hook that updates license status afterward.
Operation requirements
MsgCreateValidator
Requires a Sovereign license in BOUND status on the validator address being created.
Only the validator operator can edit. Requires a non-revoked Sovereign license on the operator address.
MsgDelegate (self-delegation)
Requires an ACTIVE or BOUND Sovereign license on the delegator’s own validator address.
MsgDelegate (external delegation)
Requires a BOUND or ACTIVE Prime or Core license owned by the delegator, bound to the target validator.
MsgUndelegate
No license pre-checks. Post-call logic handles delegation removal, implicit jails, and dust shares.
MsgBeginRedelegate
Redelegation is permanently disabled. Submitting MsgBeginRedelegate returns ErrRedelegateDisabled. Use undelegate followed by delegate instead.
MsgCancelUnbondingDelegation
Restores BOUND licenses to ACTIVE if the delegation criteria are met after the post-call hook fires.
License binding
To bind a license, the following conditions must all be true:
License status is ISSUED
The category policy permits the binding operation
Any cooldown period from a prior unbind has elapsed
Sovereign licenses can only bind to the owner’s own validator address.
# Bind a Sovereign licenseautheod tx license bind <license-id> \ --from <owner-key> \ --chain-id autheo_2127-1 \ --keyring-backend file# Bind a Prime or Core license to a specific validatorautheod tx license bind <license-id> \ --validator-address <autheovaloper-address> \ --from <owner-key> \ --chain-id autheo_2127-1 \ --keyring-backend file
License transfers
Transfers are permitted only for ISSUED licenses when the category policy has Transferable = true. BOUND and ACTIVE licenses cannot be transferred directly — you must undelegate and unbind first.
Governance operations
RevokeLicense — Transitions the license to REVOKED, auto-undelegates the owner’s stake (best-effort), jails the validator (for Sovereign revocations), and deletes the binding.
ReinstateLicense — Restores a REVOKED license to ISSUED. Does not rebind, unjail, or restore delegation.
Common errors
Error
Cause
Resolution
ErrLicenseAlreadyBound
License already bound
Unbind first, wait for cooldown
ErrPolicyNotFound
No category policy configured
Governance must submit MsgUpsertLicensePolicy
ErrNotInActiveValidatorSet
Target validator is jailed or unbonded
Wait for unjail or choose a bonded validator
ErrDelegationStillActive
Active delegation blocks unbind
Fully undelegate first
ErrRedelegateDisabled
Redelegation blocked
Use undelegate then delegate
ErrCannotBindToOtherValidator
Sovereign license bound to wrong validator
Sovereign licenses bind only to owner’s own validator
ErrCooldownNotElapsed
Cooldown after unbind still active
Wait until cooldown duration elapses
