Minimum Self-Delegation Check

888888000000000000000000

​

Scope and semantics

• The rule applies to the validator operator’s self-delegation only.
• It does not depend on delegations from other users.
• A validator can only set or raise MinSelfDelegation through create/edit flows.
• EditValidator is not blocked solely because current validator tokens fell below the threshold after creation; the restriction applies to the proposed MinSelfDelegation value.
• If an operator later reduces self-delegation below the minimum, for example through undelegation, the staking module’s native behavior jails the validator and removes it from the active set.
• x/msdcheck does not block undelegate or redelegate.

​

Default genesis

• There is no app_state.msdcheck object to configure.
• Staking genesis (app_state.staking) still applies as usual.
• The minimum self-delegation check is enforced by module logic, not by msdcheck-specific genesis params.
