How to Reclaim an Abandoned Proposal Anchor

If a proposal is rejected, abandoned, or never gathers enough votes, the PBLK proposal anchor cell’s capacity can be recovered by reclaim.

Terminal window
ckb-firewall reclaim \
--proposal <id> \
--tx-out gov_reclaim_tx.json

The CLI verifies:

By default, reclaim refuses proposals that are still executable. Use --force only after the governance committee has decided not to execute:

Terminal window
ckb-firewall reclaim --proposal <id> --force

All recovered capacity returns to the treasury lock automatically.
