Governance track
A lane of OpenGov with its own origin, deposits, timing and approval rules.
In plain language
Tracks separate different kinds of authority. A staking action, bridge pause, cancellation and general administrative signal may each use different rules.
Why it matters
Submitting on the wrong track can require cancellation and resubmission even when the underlying call is valid.
Real Vara examples
| Referendum | Governance | Execution | Direct addresses |
|---|---|---|---|
| #9 Cancelled wrong-track proposal to raise the pool member limit This untitled proposal would have raised the per-pool member ceiling to 50,000 while retaining the raw commission value of 10, but referendum #10 cancelled it for using the wrong track. | Cancelled | Not executed | 2 |
| #10 Cancel nomination-pool referendum #9 for using the wrong track This referendum cancelled nomination-pool proposal #9 because it had been submitted on the wrong governance track. | Executed | Dispatch succeeded | 4 |
| #11 Raise the nomination-pool member limit after wrong-track cancellation This referendum successfully executed the nomination-pool configuration that #9 had proposed on the wrong track. | Executed | Dispatch succeeded | 16 |
