Root
The runtime's highest on-chain administrative origin.
In plain language
Root can authorize powerful calls that ordinary signed accounts cannot. A Root-track referendum requests that level of authority.
Why it matters
Root proposals deserve careful scrutiny because their callable scope is broad.

| #43 Timed-out signal supporting voting power for pooled VARA This proposal asked token holders to signal support for giving nomination-pool stake voting power, but it timed out and recorded no approved signal. | TimedOut | Not executed | 3 |
