- This proposal asks for quarterly payments to cover maintenance and operational costs.
- Costs include general maintenance, runtime upgrades, and infrastructure.
- Polkassembly supports both Kusama and Polkadot, so the proposal will alternate networks every three months.
- This specific request covers costs for July, August, and September 2021.
- Funds are being requested from the Polkadot treasury.
- The full proposal is available [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iyV_F6L9FjGx6gAf8EdTDFsENGqWhpfqYYFYTRZNXHo/edit?usp=sharing).

### Summary

- Validator nodes on Polkadot sometimes encounter a memory allocation error during staking elections.
- The error occurs in an offchain worker thread, which shares memory with the main runtime.
- To fix this, the proposal suggests increasing the overall WASM runtime memory, known as "heap pages."
- This change affects both the main runtime and the offchain worker, but is expected to have no significant impact on the main runtime.
- Currently, the default memory allocation is 1024 pages, and this proposal aims to increase it.
- A more permanent solution is being developed by Kian from Parity.
- The proposal is temporary and aims to prevent validator nodes from failing to submit election solutions.
