What this referendum means

What was proposed?

This referendum burned the accumulated 22,526,355.840659541372 VARA inflation offset and returned total issuance to exactly 10 billion VARA.

Why it mattered

The inflation-offset pool exists to counter issuance from staking rewards; burning its accumulated balance removed the offset amount from total supply.

An Aye vote meant…

An Aye vote supported burning the specified balance from the inflation-offset account.

A Nay vote meant…

A Nay vote opposed that burn.

What happened or is happening

The balances.burn value was 22,526,355,840,659,541,372 planck. The call used keepAlive=true, so it was not intended to reap the source account. Historical total-issuance state changed by the exact encoded burn amount.

At the execution block, Balances.TotalIssuance changed from 10,022,526,355.840659541372 VARA to exactly 10,000,000,000 VARA.

Dispatch as the specified inflation-offset account and burn 22,526,355.840659541372 VARA while keeping that account alive.

No separate off-chain action was required by the encoded call.
