A test that demonstrates that in case no proposals have been registered with
Treasury
, the treasury account positive balance is halved everySpendPeriod
blocks (1 day worth of blocks in Vara runtime) thereby causing the total issuance reduction. Unless specifically handled - that is, aBurnDestination
is provided that takes care of the resultingNegativeImbalance
.Apparently, the rationale behind this is that
Treasury
is not supposed to store funds, effectively reducing the amount in circulation. It's only when a proposal is created, funds can flow in theTreasury
until enough thereof is accumulated.It means that if the idea is to be able to store funds in
Treasury
for some future purpose, we need to funnel the burned amount back to theTreasury
itself.
