What this referendum means

What was proposed?

This referendum reached execution but failed while attempting to pause the bridge VFT manager.

Why it mattered

This is another example of why an approved or executed referendum must not be confused with a successful call.

An Aye vote meant…

An Aye vote supported sending the VFT-manager pause message.

A Nay vote meant…

A Nay vote opposed pausing that program through this referendum.

What happened or is happening

The message encoded the service route “VftManager” and method “Pause.” Referendum #74 repeated the same message with a smaller gas limit and succeeded.

The referendum reached the executed lifecycle state, but the dispatch returned a module error. VoteVara does not treat the manager as paused by #73.

Send a VftManager.Pause message to program 0xe01ddc667f80cf57704352b557668b710c345395abcac0752c01402d16e3e81b with a gas limit of 5,000,000,000,000.

The call did not itself operate off-chain relayers or Ethereum infrastructure; those components remained separately operated.

Observable on-chain result

Dispatch returned an error.

{"module":{"index":104,"error":"0x02000000"}}

Promised outcomes

  • Pause the specified VFT manager program.

Verified outcomes

  • The dispatch returned an error and did not complete successfully.

Follow-up: verified-complete

  • This review verifies the encoded action and referendum dispatch result, not continuous bridge-service availability.

Still unknown

  • The indexed module error has not yet been translated into a verified human-readable error name.
