Storage functions


Blacklist

A record of who vetoed what. Maps proposal hash to a possible existent block number (until when it may not be resubmitted) and who vetoed it.

Python

result = substrate.query(
    'Democracy', 'Blacklist', ['scale_info::12']
)

Return value

('u32', ['AccountId'])

Cancellations

Record of all proposals that have been subject to emergency cancellation.

Python

result = substrate.query(
    'Democracy', 'Cancellations', ['scale_info::12']
)

Return value

'bool'

DepositOf

Those who have locked a deposit.

TWOX-NOTE: Safe, as increasing integer keys are safe.

Python

result = substrate.query(
    'Democracy', 'DepositOf', ['u32']
)

Return value

(['AccountId'], 'u128')

LastTabledWasExternal

True if the last referendum tabled was submitted externally. False if it was a public proposal.

Python

result = substrate.query(
    'Democracy', 'LastTabledWasExternal', []
)

Return value

'bool'

LowestUnbaked

The lowest referendum index representing an unbaked referendum. Equal to ReferendumCount if there isn't a unbaked referendum.

Python

result = substrate.query(
    'Democracy', 'LowestUnbaked', []
)

Return value

'u32'

MetadataOf

General information concerning any proposal or referendum. The PreimageHash refers to the preimage of the Preimages provider which can be a JSON dump or IPFS hash of a JSON file.

Consider a garbage collection for a metadata of finished referendums to unrequest (remove) large preimages.

Python

result = substrate.query(
    'Democracy', 'MetadataOf', [
    {
        'External': None,
        'Proposal': 'u32',
        'Referendum': 'u32',
    },
]
)

Return value

'scale_info::12'

NextExternal

The referendum to be tabled whenever it would be valid to table an external proposal. This happens when a referendum needs to be tabled and one of two conditions are met: - LastTabledWasExternal is false; or - PublicProps is empty.

Python

result = substrate.query(
    'Democracy', 'NextExternal', []
)

Return value

(
    {
        'Inline': 'Bytes',
        'Legacy': {'hash': 'scale_info::12'},
        'Lookup': {'hash': 'scale_info::12', 'len': 'u32'},
    },
    ('SuperMajorityApprove', 'SuperMajorityAgainst', 'SimpleMajority'),
)

PublicPropCount

The number of (public) proposals that have been made so far.

Python

result = substrate.query(
    'Democracy', 'PublicPropCount', []
)

Return value

'u32'

PublicProps

The public proposals. Unsorted. The second item is the proposal.

Python

result = substrate.query(
    'Democracy', 'PublicProps', []
)

Return value

[
    (
        'u32',
        {
            'Inline': 'Bytes',
            'Legacy': {'hash': 'scale_info::12'},
            'Lookup': {'hash': 'scale_info::12', 'len': 'u32'},
        },
        'AccountId',
    ),
]

ReferendumCount

The next free referendum index, aka the number of referenda started so far.

Python

result = substrate.query(
    'Democracy', 'ReferendumCount', []
)

Return value

'u32'

ReferendumInfoOf

Information concerning any given referendum.

TWOX-NOTE: SAFE as indexes are not under an attacker’s control.

Python

result = substrate.query(
    'Democracy', 'ReferendumInfoOf', ['u32']
)

Return value

{
    'Finished': {'approved': 'bool', 'end': 'u32'},
    'Ongoing': {
        'delay': 'u32',
        'end': 'u32',

            'SimpleMajority',
        ),
    },
}

VotingOf

All votes for a particular voter. We store the balance for the number of votes that we have recorded. The second item is the total amount of delegations, that will be added.

TWOX-NOTE: SAFE as AccountIds are crypto hashes anyway.

Python

result = substrate.query(
    'Democracy', 'VotingOf', ['AccountId']
)

Return value

Constants


CooloffPeriod

Period in blocks where an external proposal may not be re-submitted after being vetoed.

Value

50400

Python

constant = substrate.get_constant('Democracy', 'CooloffPeriod')

EnactmentPeriod

The period between a proposal being approved and enacted.

It should generally be a little more than the unstake period to ensure that voting stakers have an opportunity to remove themselves from the system in the case where they are on the losing side of a vote.

Value

14400

Python

constant = substrate.get_constant('Democracy', 'EnactmentPeriod')

FastTrackVotingPeriod

Minimum voting period allowed for a fast-track referendum.

Value

900

Python

constant = substrate.get_constant('Democracy', 'FastTrackVotingPeriod')

InstantAllowed

Indicator for whether an emergency origin is even allowed to happen. Some chains may want to set this permanently to false, others may want to condition it on things such as an upgrade having happened recently.

Value

True

Python

constant = substrate.get_constant('Democracy', 'InstantAllowed')

LaunchPeriod

How often (in blocks) new public referenda are launched.

Value

50400

Python

constant = substrate.get_constant('Democracy', 'LaunchPeriod')

MaxBlacklisted

The maximum number of items which can be blacklisted.

Value

100

Python

constant = substrate.get_constant('Democracy', 'MaxBlacklisted')

MaxDeposits

The maximum number of deposits a public proposal may have at any time.

Value

100

Python

constant = substrate.get_constant('Democracy', 'MaxDeposits')

MaxProposals

The maximum number of public proposals that can exist at any time.

Value

100

Python

constant = substrate.get_constant('Democracy', 'MaxProposals')

MaxVotes

The maximum number of votes for an account.

Also used to compute weight, an overly big value can lead to extrinsic with very big weight: see delegate for instance.

Value

100

Python

constant = substrate.get_constant('Democracy', 'MaxVotes')

MinimumDeposit

The minimum amount to be used as a deposit for a public referendum proposal.

Value

500000000000000

Python

constant = substrate.get_constant('Democracy', 'MinimumDeposit')

VoteLockingPeriod

The minimum period of vote locking.

It should be no shorter than enactment period to ensure that in the case of an approval, those successful voters are locked into the consequences that their votes entail.

Value

14400

Python

constant = substrate.get_constant('Democracy', 'VoteLockingPeriod')

VotingPeriod

How often (in blocks) to check for new votes.

Value

50400

Python

constant = substrate.get_constant('Democracy', 'VotingPeriod')
