StatementOfIntent

StatementOfIntent is an executive mandate that allows a role to record a proposal or statement on-chain without triggering any execution logic.

Overview

This mandate serves as a signaling mechanism. It allows a governance body or role to formalize an intent, make a declaration, or pass a “soft vote” where the outcome is recorded in the Powers protocol history but no contract calls are made. It can be used for:

• Ratifying off-chain decisions.
• Signaling agreement on a strategy.
• Publishing a statement or manifesto.

Configuration

When adopting a StatementOfIntent instance, the following parameter is required:

1. inputParams (string[]): An array of strings describing the data fields that the statement should contain (e.g., ["string Title", "string Content"]). This guides the UI on what inputs to request from the proposer.

Usage

Proposing an Action

When calling the mandate, the input (mandateCalldata) should contain the encoded values corresponding to the configured inputParams. These values are stored in the action history.

Execution Flow

1. No-Op
   • The mandate receives the input but intentionally does not generate any execution calls.
   • It returns empty arrays (targets, values, calldatas), signifying a successful “execution” that results in no state changes beyond the recording of the action itself.
