Off-chain proposals
If for any reason issuing an on-chain proposal is not adequate to your needs, you still have the option to create an off-chain proposal. An off-chain proposal is intended for proposals that do not require any on-chain code execution. The proposal would be distributed on some third-party channel (e.g. a forum) and the voting would be done off-chain. The result of the voting would be computed off-chain and then submitted to the ledger.
Create proposal
Create the same json file as in the on-chain proposal and use the following command:
namada client init-proposal \
--data-path proposal.json \
--offline
This command will create a proposal
file same directory where the command was launched.
Vote on proposal
To vote on an offline proposal use the following command:
namada client vote-proposal --data-path proposal \
--vote yay \
--signer validator \
--offline
This command will create a proposal-vote-${address}
file (where address is the --signer
address).
Tally off-chain proposal
To compute the tally for an offline proposal we need to collect
proposal
file (must have this name)- all the
proposal-vote-${address}
files
All those files will have to be in a folder (lets call it offline-proposal
).
Now you can use the following command:
namada client query-proposal-result \
--offline \
--data-path `offline-proposal`
which will tell you the proposal result.
