What this referendum means

What was proposed?

This referendum was approved but its dispatch failed before it could successfully submit the new manager registration message.

Why it mattered

It demonstrates why an Executed label cannot be treated as proof that the approved call succeeded.

An Aye vote meant…

An Aye vote supported submitting the new VFT-manager registration to Ethereum.

A Nay vote meant…

A Nay vote opposed that registration message.

What happened or is happening

The payload is the same ADD_VFT_MANAGER message later used by successful referendum #86. The failure was module index 21, error 0x03000000.

The referendum reached the Executed lifecycle state, but the call returned a module error. VoteVara does not count #85 as a successful message submission.

Dispatch as the specified signed origin and send ERC20Manager 0x16fcff97822fcf3345fa76d29c229b11c49eae12 the ADD_VFT_MANAGER command for 0x440e8faddaef7e9cc7230564fd062cd807d4a957d2dfe61da8638ee633d72f7f.

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

Observable on-chain result

Dispatch returned an error.

The referendum reached the Executed lifecycle state, but the call returned a module error. VoteVara does not count #85 as a successful message submission.

{"module":{"index":21,"error":"0x03000000"}}

Promised outcomes

Submit the new VFT-manager registration message to Ethereum.

Verified outcomes

The dispatch returned an error and did not complete successfully.
Referendum #86 reused the same proposal hash and returned success.

Follow-up: contradicted

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

Still unknown

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

Further explanation and reporting

No additional reporting has been published for this referendum.
