Rendering Hard-Fork Initiation Governance Actions

[m-i-k-e]

What?

• GovTool should show voters the on-chain details for Hard-Fork Initiation Governance Actions
• Showing users the proposed new protocol version.

Why?

• This is important information that will help inform the voters
• Hardfork initiations are available in the bootstrapping phase

How?

• @m-i-k-e and team design how this could be rendered
• GovTool BE API adjusted to provide this information
• GovTool FE adjusted to render this new information

User Story

Title: Render all relevant all on-chain details of hard-fork initiations.

User Story: As a DRep, I want to be able to see all the relevant on-chain information for protocol parameter changes, including what parameters are being changed from what current value to the new proposed value.

Acceptance Criteria:

• Given that I am a DRep.
• When I view a hard-fork initiation in GovTool.
• Then I should see all relevant on-chain details, including:
  • The proposed next major and minor protocol version
  • Their current protocol major and minor versions.

What is this action all about?

• Triggers a non-backwards compatible upgrade of the network; requires a prior software upgrade (upgrading node software versions)
• Voted on by DReps, CC and SPOs
• Available within the bootstrapping phase (will be used to exit the bootstrapping phase)

What are the on-chain details?

• governance action ID of the previous hardfork initiation to be enacted (this isn't super important, but shows users how hard-forks can be chained together)
• the next major and minor protocol versions

For example;

The hard-fork governance action for Chang #2 could look like

• prev governance action ID = fc0386f81025d66fc448d4f0aa3ca6c1eeae95fe88e3b10244bacc126bbeb007#0
• next protocol version (major.minor) = 10.0

What is other contextual information that might be nice?

• the current protocol version

Next step;

• wireframes by Friday

@m-i-k-e
oo! this looks nice

I would rename Parameter label on the tab to details or something similar
to avoid confusion with protocol parameters

Good call!
