Why This Error Exists
Arbitration is a dispute resolution mechanism for coldkey swaps. If someone believes a swap was initiated by a compromised key or attacker, they can dispute it. During arbitration, the swap is paused while the situation is resolved - this protects users from losing funds to hackers who gained temporary key access.
Deep Dive
ColdkeyInArbitration is a boolean flag that pauses all swap operations for that coldkey. ColdkeyArbitrationBlock indicates when arbitration ends. Arbitration can be triggered by the original owner (if they still have access) or by validators who detect suspicious activity. Resolution typically involves governance or proof of ownership.
Debugging Example
You try any coldkey swap operation for 5Old.... Error: ColdkeyIsInArbitration. Query ColdkeyInArbitration(5Old...) - returns true. Query ColdkeyArbitrationBlock(5Old...) - returns block 1,500,000. Current block is 1,400,000. You must wait ~100,000 blocks for arbitration to end, or participate in the dispute resolution process if you're the legitimate owner.
Prevention Tips
- Keep your coldkey secure to avoid disputes
- If you suspect your key is compromised, initiate arbitration yourself immediately
- Monitor your coldkey for unauthorized swap attempts
