What this referendum means

What was proposed?

This referendum began an early tokenized-VARA migration sequence by submitting a pause command to the legacy VFT program.

Why it mattered

Pausing the legacy program was a safety step before directing users and authority toward its replacement.

An Aye vote meant…

An Aye vote supported submitting the pause message to the legacy tokenized-VARA program.

A Nay vote meant…

A Nay vote opposed submitting that program message through this referendum.

What happened or is happening

The payload decodes to the VftAdmin service and Pause method, sent to 0xdbf80fe5bd78b44510762770a14dc2a5b13a6bb167ff12c2edcc7ca3deadc16d with a 500,000,000,000 gas limit and no transferred value.

The referendum dispatch succeeded and gear.sendMessage accepted the VftAdmin.Pause message for delivery.

Dispatch as the specified signed origin and send VftAdmin.Pause to the legacy tokenized-VARA program 0xdbf80fe5bd78b44510762770a14dc2a5b13a6bb167ff12c2edcc7ca3deadc16d.

Cross-chain delivery, destination-program processing and Ethereum finality remain separate from Vara governance dispatch unless independently verified.

Observable on-chain result

Dispatch returned success.

The referendum dispatch succeeded and gear.sendMessage accepted the VftAdmin.Pause message for delivery.

Promised outcomes

Submit a pause command to the legacy tokenized-VARA VFT program.

Verified outcomes

The governance dispatch succeeded and accepted the Gear message for delivery.

Follow-up: partially-verified

Review distinguishes referendum dispatch success from asynchronous Gear-program processing and Ethereum-side execution.

Still unknown

The referendum event proves that the message was submitted, not by itself that the destination program processed it successfully.

Further explanation and reporting

No additional reporting has been published for this referendum.
