Aquarius voting: asset Flag Restrictions

Restricted Stellar Assets in Aquarius Market Voting & Rewards

By default, some Stellar assets are restricted from participating in Aquarius market voting and rewards.

These assets have specific "Flags" set by their issuers, which impose restrictions on holding, sending, and trading. In the case of "clawback", issuers can even reclaim tokens from holders.

Assets that have any combination of the AUTH_REQUIRED, AUTH_REVOCABLE, or AUTH_CLAWBACK_ENABLED flags are banned from Aquarius market voting and rewards, as decided by the Aquarius governance process under Proposal 85.

Flag Definitions

• AUTH_REQUIRED – Requires the issuing account to approve other accounts before they can hold the asset.

• AUTH_REVOCABLE – Allows the issuing account to revoke an asset’s trustline, preventing accounts from accessing it.

• AUTH_CLAWBACK_ENABLED – Enables the issuing account to claw back tokens without user consent, typically for regulatory compliance or terms-of-service violations.

How to Lift the Flag Restriction on an Asset

Certain Stellar assets legitimately use these flags for legal and compliance reasons. Because of this, there is a way to request an exception and allow such assets to participate in Aquarius market voting and rewards.

Steps to Request a Flag Restriction Removal:

1️⃣ Go to Aquarius Governance.

2️⃣ Create a governance discussion explaining why the restriction should be lifted. Your post should follow this format:

Title:

🚀 Lift Flag Restrictions for [Insert Asset Name]

Content:

• Ticker: [Insert asset ticker]

• Asset Issuer Account: [Insert issuing account]

• Website: [Provide an official link]

• Justification: Explain what the asset does and why the flag restrictions should be removed.

3️⃣ Submit your discussion for community feedback. After one week, resubmit it as a formal proposal for a community vote.

✅ If the community votes in favor, the Aquarius team will remove the restriction for that asset.
