What this referendum means

What was proposed?

This referendum successfully submitted the new VFT-manager registration message that failed in #85.

Why it mattered

The registration was the Ethereum-side counterpart to Vara's move to the new VFT manager.

An Aye vote meant…

An Aye vote supported submitting the manager registration to Ethereum.

A Nay vote meant…

A Nay vote opposed that registration message.

What happened or is happening

The message targeted the official ERC20Manager deployment 0x16fcff97822fcf3345fa76d29c229b11c49eae12. Its 0x00 command identifies ADD_VFT_MANAGER and its argument is 0x440e8faddaef7e9cc7230564fd062cd807d4a957d2dfe61da8638ee633d72f7f.

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

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 success.

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

Promised outcomes

Submit the new Vara VFT manager for registration by Ethereum's ERC20Manager.

Verified outcomes

The Vara-side referendum dispatch returned success.
The destination, command encoding and manager identifier match the official bridge deployment and source materials.

Follow-up: partially-verified

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

Still unknown

The Vara-side success result does not by itself prove that Ethereum relayers delivered the message or that the ERC20Manager transaction executed and finalized.

Further explanation and reporting

No additional reporting has been published for this referendum.
