system.remark
A call that records arbitrary bytes on-chain without commanding another system action.
In plain language
A remark can memorialize a statement, approval signal or test marker. It does not transfer funds or compel an off-chain organization.
Why it matters
Referendum #87 approved a recorded statement while Gear Foundation funded the grant separately.
