Transactions Overview
A transaction is any action you send to the protocol. canoLiq accepts messages for four kinds of work: liquid staking (deposit/redeem), CPLQ operations (transfer, stake, claim), governance (propose, vote), and treasury management (spend, approve). Each message type is a distinct, explicitly supported action — there is no general-purpose scripting.
Every transaction pays a small flat fee (default 10,000 uCNPY per message type) and is
validated before it touches state. New to the protocol? See
How It Works for the bigger picture first.

Transaction Lifecycle

- CheckTx — Stateless validation (fee check, address validation, authorized signers)
- DeliverTx — Stateful execution (read state, apply logic, write state)
- EndBlock (if applicable) — Reward sweep, proposal tally, spend execution
