Initialize Index

Initialize the global ProposalIndex PDA. This is a one-time, permissionless setup that must be completed before any proposals can be created.

Description

The ProposalIndex PDA tracks a sequential counter across all proposals. It is initialized once on a given network and is shared across all validators.

This command only needs to be run once per network. If the index is already initialized, the command will fail gracefully. Check with svmgov list-proposals — if it returns results, the index is already set up.

Usage


svmgov init-index

Arguments

This command takes no arguments.

Global Arguments

  --keypair <PATH_TO_IDENTITY_KEYPAIR> \
