Whitelist
A governance mechanism for authorizing a specifically identified call.
In plain language
A call can be approved by hash and later dispatched through the Whitelisted Caller origin, with or without the preimage embedded in the referendum call.
Why it matters
Missing preimages can make old whitelisted proposals difficult to understand.
Real Vara examples
| Referendum | Governance | Execution | Direct addresses |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 Approved opaque whitelisted-call dispatch with no recorded execution This untitled referendum approved dispatching a very large whitelisted call, but the surviving archive does not contain its preimage or a later execution result. | Approved | Not executed | 6 |
| #2 Failed dispatch of the unresolved whitelisted call from referendum #1 This untitled referendum tried to dispatch the same unresolved whitelisted call hash referenced by #1, but the call failed. | Executed | Dispatch failed | 10 |
| #33 Upgrade the Vara runtime from spec 1421 to 1500 This referendum upgraded the live Vara runtime from specification version 1421 to 1500. | Executed | Dispatch succeeded | 40 |
