PolkaWorld votes AYE

The requested budget is reasonable and well-documented. For example, each collator has a reward cap of $300/month, conditional on achieving a 100% block production rate. Nodes that miss blocks will have their rewards proportionally reduced. All payouts are tracked via a child bounty system, ensuring strong transparency and accountability.

**Proposal: Additional Funding for Kusama System Parachain Collators**

**Bounty #20 KSM address:** [F3opxRbN5ZbjJNU513biNemEwi2QDYNACcNqzU68jHWZos2](https://kusama.subsquare.io/treasury/bounties/20)

**Requested allocation:** 10,003.38 KSM

This proposal seeks additional funding to support the operational status and provide a bounty top-up budget for collators on Kusama's System Parachains. Collators are essential for maintaining network security, decentralization, and performance. While previous referenda have successfully provided the necessary resources for their effective operation, additional funds are required to sustain these efforts and adapt to the expanding network demands.

This proposal will focus on the operational status and the bounty top-up budget, while more detailed information can be found under the bounty page and in earlier proposals, as listed below.
