'Unable to send transaction - Unable to calculate fee for delegated transfer: HTTP 451' error when trying to send assets

'Unable to send transaction - Unable to calculate fee for delegated transfer: HTTP 451' error displayed when trying to send assets in Channels app, resulting in no option to complete a transaction.

Cause

Generally, HTTP 451 is the error status code of the HTTP protocol displayed when access to a resource which cannot be served for legal reasons is requested. For example, access to a web page censored by a local governmental authority.

In Channels app, the error is caused by lack of Know-Your-Customer (KYC) verification, which is the legal reason for a transaction to be denied by the system. This can happen due to one of the following reasons:

1. Total abscence of KYC verification, or
2. Lack of the next KYC verification tier when exceeding current KYC tier limits.

Diagnostics

Check the status of your KYC verification in the app:

• Launch Channels app;
• Switch to the Settings tab;
• Check the Verification section.

Solution

To eliminate the cause of the error, complete the next available tier of KYC.

Once done, re-check the verification status.
