What this referendum means

What was proposed?

This Bridge Admin referendum submitted a governance message concerning the Ethereum MessageQueue contract and a new implementation address.

Why it mattered

The MessageQueue is core bridge infrastructure, so changing its implementation relationship can affect cross-chain message handling.

An Aye vote meant…

An Aye vote supported submitting the encoded Ethereum governance message.

A Nay vote meant…

A Nay vote opposed that message submission.

What happened or is happening

The destination and MessageQueue addresses match the official bridge deployment documentation. The archive has not yet attached an Ethereum transaction or event proving destination-side execution.

The Vara-side gearEthBridge.sendEthMessage dispatch returned success and accepted the message for cross-chain delivery.

Send an Ethereum bridge message to GovernanceAdmin 0x3681…30c3 containing command 0x03, MessageQueue 0x8E01…95F6 and implementation address 0x63a7…df9.

No additional off-chain action is treated as verified unless explicitly stated.

Observable on-chain result

Dispatch returned success.

The Vara-side gearEthBridge.sendEthMessage dispatch returned success and accepted the message for cross-chain delivery.

Promised outcomes

Submit the encoded MessageQueue governance message to Ethereum.

Verified outcomes

The Vara-side message submission returned success.

Follow-up: partially-verified

Still unknown

Ethereum delivery, execution and finality remain unverified.
The command byte's exact historical method name and implementation-address identity have not been independently documented in this entry.

No additional reporting has been published for this referendum.
