What this referendum means
What was proposed?
This referendum reopened the Vara-side Ethereum bridge pallet and set its bridge fee to 1,000 VARA.
Why it mattered
Bridge availability determines whether cross-chain messages can proceed, while the fee directly affects the cost of using the bridge.
An Aye vote meant…
An Aye vote supported unpausing the bridge pallet and setting the fee to 1,000 VARA.
A Nay vote meant…
A Nay vote opposed making both bridge changes through this referendum.
What happened or is happening
The encoded fee was 1,000,000,000,000,000 planck. At 10^12 planck per VARA, that equals 1,000 VARA.
The atomic batch returned success: gearEthBridge.unpause executed and gearEthBridge.setFee stored 1,000 VARA.
Dispatch as the bridge governance account to atomically unpause the Gear Ethereum bridge pallet and set its fee to 1,000 VARA.
The call did not itself operate off-chain relayers or Ethereum infrastructure; those components remained separately operated.
Observable on-chain result
Dispatch returned success.
The atomic batch returned success: gearEthBridge.unpause executed and gearEthBridge.setFee stored 1,000 VARA.
Promised outcomes
- Unpause the Vara-side Ethereum bridge pallet.
- Set the bridge fee to 1,000 VARA.
Verified outcomes
- The referendum dispatch returned success for the atomic batch.
Follow-up: verified-complete
- This review verifies the encoded action and referendum dispatch result, not continuous bridge-service availability.
Still unknown
- This call alone does not establish whether every off-chain relayer or Ethereum-side component was operational immediately afterward.
Further explanation and reporting
No additional reporting has been published for this referendum.
