Paseo - Developer Testnet Bounty Top-up Request
To sustain and enhance Paseo Network's impact, this proposal seeks funding to continue operations in 2025, ensuring the same high level of service from a dedicated group of ecosystem contributors.
We are requesting a top-up of $640,000 (final DOT amount to be determined on submission day) from the Polkadot treasury to cover operational costs for 2025. The funds will be managed via the original Paseo Bounty (#37), with payments distributed quarterly over the 12-month funding period.
Along with this funding request, we are proposing several efficiency improvements to make bounty management more transparent and automated. These include changing the curator set, retroactive payments at the end of each quarter, eliminating the need for manual payout requests, automating validator payouts, and implementing performance-based benchmarks to ensure validators and service providers meet expected reliability standards.
For more information, we encourage ecosystem participants to review the full proposal and provide feedback

As a user and currator of Paseo, I want to highlight a piece of news recently that happened thanks to Paseo. The test integration mentioned in this Press Release between Frequency (a Polkadot Parachain) and BlueSky was on a Paseo parachain!

We at R0GUE are grateful for the opportunity to have worked on this bounty. We believe that our efforts have made a significant contribution to keeping Paseo up to date, while also ensuring its smooth operation and stability.
As users of the platform ourselves, we have a vested interest in its development, much like other teams in the ecosystem. We're proud to have contributed to Paseo's mission in 2024 and are committed to keeping up our efforts to enhance the testnet experience to the best of our abilities together with the rest of teams and individuals involved in this initiative.
