This is to generate and submit the actual on-chain execution (namely preimage).

Go to Polkadot webapp, choose the network you are proposal to e.g. Acala or Karura, then navigate to Governance - Democracy

Click on Submit preimage button to generate the proposal hash.

A) Create a scheduler call to set a starting time for listing

Select scheduler.schedule for the proposal to execute at a specific block.
When: enter block number for the Bootstrap program to start.
Priority: 255 (default, changing to other priority may cause proposal to be rejected for network safety reasons)
Call: select dex.enableTradingPair

B) Enter listing token pair

Select TokenA and TokenB (Follow the guide here to create a new token)

Copy the preimage hash and submit the preimage.

2) Submit the Proposal

On the Governance - Democracy page, click on the Submit Proposal button, and paste the preimage hash there.

Click the Submit proposal button, and now your Referendum Proposal is online.

3) Second a Proposal
