An [incentive programme](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/post/1352) was initiated to reward high quality nomination pools. The exercise was completed and reviews all pools prior to the expansion of the pool base which occurred shortly after block 13686541.

The programme seeks to reward pools which have met the following criteria:

- Has metadata

- Pool creator has verified identity

- Has nominees

- Is Open

- Has more than 10 members

The analysis is supported by an open source tool developed by **Polkagate** which allows for a more objective analysis. The results of the analysis was posted (see last post) for public scrutiny for which none was received. With this said, we would like to proceed with rewarding 22 pools with 250 DOT as well as issuing a payout to PolkaGate of 250 DOT as well for developing the tool. Please note that rewards would be shared among all pool members and isn't submitted to the pool creator.

Send a batch of dispatch calls.

May be called from any origin except `None`.

- `calls`: The calls to be dispatched from the same origin. The number of call must not
  exceed the constant: `batched_calls_limit` (available in constant metadata).

If origin is root then the calls are dispatched without checking origin filter. (This
includes bypassing `frame_system::Config::BaseCallFilter`).

# <weight>
- Complexity: O(C) where C is the number of calls to be batched.
# </weight>

This will return `Ok` in all circumstances. To determine the success of the batch, an
event is deposited. If a call failed and the batch was interrupted, then the
`BatchInterrupted` event is deposited, along with the number of successful calls made
and the error of the failed call. If all were successful, then the `BatchCompleted`
event is deposited.

 - This post initates an incentive programme to reward high quality nomination pools after an exercise was completed and reviews all pools prior to the expansion. The programme seeks to reward pools which have met certain criteria and is supported by an open-source tool developed by Polkagate. Results of the analysis  were posted for public scrutiny, with no feedback received, resulting in 22 pools being rewarded with 250 DOT as well as PolkaGate receiving 250 DOT.
