Understanding the terminology and parameters involved in the governance process is crucial for effective participation in a decentralized network like Cere Network. Here's a breakdown of the key terms and parameters you should be aware of when voting using the Referenda module:

Origin

Each origin has a fixed set of privileges. When making a proposal, it is important to choose the origin that has the privilege to execute the referenda.

Track

Each track has its own dispatch origin and a preset configuration that governs the voting process and parameters.

Submission Deposit

This is the minimum amount to be used as a (refundable) deposit to submit a public referendum proposal.

Prepare Period

This is the minimum time the referendum needs to wait before it can progress to the next phase after submission. During this period, voting is enabled, but the votes do not count toward the outcome of the referendum yet.

Decision Deposit

This deposit is required for a referendum to progress to the decision phase after the end of the prepare period.

Decision Period

This is the amount of time a decision may take to be approved to move to the confirming period. If the proposal is not approved by the end of the decision period, it gets rejected.

Max Deciding

This is the maximum number of referenda that can be in the decision period of a track all at once.

Conviction

Conviction is a multiplier used to increase voting power.

Approval

This is the share of the approval vote-weight after adjustments for conviction, against the total number of vote-weight for both approval and rejection.

Support

This is the total number of votes in approval (ignoring adjustments for conviction) compared to the total possible amount of votes that could be made in the system. Support also takes into account abstained votes.

Min Approval

This is the threshold of approval (along with the min support) needed for a proposal to meet the requirements of the confirm period.

Min Support

This is the threshold of support (along with the min approval) needed for a proposal to meet the requirements of the confirm period.

Confirmation Period

This is the total time the referenda must meet both the min approval and support criteria during the decision period in order to pass and enter the enactment period.

Min Enactment Period

This is the minimum time that an approved proposal must be in the dispatch queue after approval. The proposer has the option to set the enactment period to be of any value greater than the min enactment period.
