Dear Polkadot community,

Collators on System Parachains are provided with minimal rewards for block production and small incentives in terms of transaction fees. This reduces incentives for Collators to act in a favorable manner and they may also be inclined to under-resourcing their hosts to save costs. Collators should receive funding for the provision of their services. Ultimately, this should be provided by the chain in a preferably sustainable manner. Implementation of such a system is a long-term solution. In the medium term, funding for collators can be provided by the respective Treasuries in the form of a bounty. This allows funding to be pre-allocated and independently managed.

This proposal is the final monthly operating costs payment for service providers in Q4 2023. The previous 2-month operation tip was approved under [Referenda #156](<156>). Future cost compensation will be done under the [Polkadot System Parachain Collators Bounty](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/post/1994) starting from January 2024.

**[Full Proposal](<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kqrgespOFcwh_uaOfv1RtwY64D7sE3luCkfSd09WXzs/edit?usp=sharing>)**

The proposal aims to secure 7,289.03 DOT for Collators on the Polkadot System Parachains network for services delivered for 3 months - 10-12/2023.

We encourage the Polkadot community to review this proposal and provide any feedback or suggestions.

Thank you!

Polkadot System Parachain Collators - Tips Q4/2023

Treasury

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`).

## Complexity
- O(C) where C is the number of calls to be batched.

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.

Problem Statement:
- Collators on System Parachains receive minimal rewards and incentives, reducing their motivation and potentially leading to under-resourcing.

Significance:
- Lack of funding for collators can negatively impact the performance and security of the Polkadot network.

Proposed Solution:
- Provide funding for collators through the Polkadot System Parachain Collators Bounty, starting from January 2024.

Expected Outcomes:
- Secure 7,289.03 DOT for collators on the Polkadot System Parachains network for services delivered for 3 months (10-12/2023).
