Change Your Verifier Address

If you ever need to change the address of your verifier, you’ll have to unbond and unauthorize your current verifier, then claim and transfer the bond. Finally, bond and authorize your new verifier.

Move funds by starting with your current verifier and ampd/tofnd.

  1. ampd unbond-verifier amplifier
  2. Wait until unbonding completes after the unbonding period
  3. ampd claim-stake amplifier
  4. ampd send-tokens <new address> <amount> uaxl
  5. Then setup your new verifier (make sure you run these commands as the new ampd/tofnd)
  6. ampd bond-verifier amplifier 50000000000 uaxl
  7. ampd register-public-key ecdsa
  8. ampd register-chain-support amplifier flow

Before making a governance proposal, You should make a community forum post explaining what you are doing and link it in your governance proposals. Then make an on-chain proposal for the removal of authorization of your old verifier.
