**Dear Community Members,**

We are engaging you in discussion related to proposing a bounty to fund System Parachain Collators on Polkadot in a similar manner to [bounty 20 on Kusama](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/bounty/20). Funding covers Asset-Hub, Bridge-Hub and Collectives.

This initiative is an extension of the original System Parachain Collator proposal. Our goal is to incentivize efficient performance, minimize censorship, and ensure ongoing activity on each System Parachain. We intend to achieve this by securing treasury funding for operational costs and by associating disbursements against metrics of performance.

**Funding Request:** Infrastructure Costs and Staking Rewards

**Coverage:** Three Polkadot System Parachains (AssetHub, BridgeHub, and Collectives)

**[Proposal Details](https://docs.google.com/document/d/14pRUj8WZPO75DuwDl4HoZU97v_Rmfx0bZ2KFqFW-qkE/edit?usp=sharing)**

**Duration:** 6-month runway. Start Date: 1 January 2024

**Funding Amounts:** 20,201 DOT for Polkadot System Parachains

We highly value your input and would greatly appreciate your comments and suggestions in what we hope will be a productive and engaging discussion.

Kind Regards,

Proposal for Funding of Polkadot System Parachain Collators

- Problem Statement: The Polkadot community needs to fund System Parachain Collators to ensure efficient performance, minimize censorship, and maintain activity on three System Parachains: AssetHub, BridgeHub, and Collectives.
- Significance: Without adequate funding, the performance and activity of the System Parachains could be compromised, potentially affecting the overall functionality of the Polkadot network.
- Proposed Solution: The proposal suggests securing treasury funding for operational costs and associating disbursements against performance metrics. The funding request is for infrastructure costs and staking rewards, with a total amount of 20,201 DOT for Polkadot System Parachains.
- Expected Outcomes: The proposal aims to incentivize efficient performance and ongoing activity on each System Parachain, thereby enhancing the overall functionality and reliability of the Polkadot network.
