Senate

This is a guide for Senators on how to perform senate actions. This guide is outdated as senators now have UI.

Propose motion

Spend from treasury

1. Visit Polkadot.js Apps

2. Go to Developer -> Extrinsics -> senate -> propose(...)

   • threshold: 51% * number of senate members, round up. Examples:

     • 3 senate members - threshold = 2

     • 4 senate members - threshold = 3

     • 5 senate members - threshold = 3

   • proposal:

     • llm treasuryLlmTransferToPolitipool(...) (or treasuryLlmTransfer for liquid LLM or treasuryLldTransfer for LLD)

     • toAccount: recipient of LLM

     • amount: LLM in grains, so 1 LLM = 1000000000000 (12 zeros)

   • lengthBound: 54
