Governance deposit
VARA reserved as part of a governance operation.
In plain language
A deposit is normally held under runtime rules and may later be refunded or, in some cases, slashed. It is not automatically a payment to a beneficiary.
Why it matters
Large deposits can look like proposal spending when displayed without context.
