Dear community,

I would like your support with a common-good initiative that I've embarked up to:

- Refund decision deposits on Polkadot and Collectives
- Refund applicable submission deposits on Polkadot and Collectives
- Help validators who are part of, or originated from the 1KV with their validator payouts



These initiatives are currently funded by myself at a cost of between 10-15 DOT/mth. I intend to expand on the number of validators who are supported by the payout bot from \~10 to 50 in the first tranche. Validators who are interested can signup by submitting a PR to have their stashes added to [this file](<https://github.com/paradox-tt/CrunchPayees/blob/main/polkadot_payees.txt>).

Projecting a budget can be difficult as the number of referenda varies per month and the cost for a validator payout also varies with the number of active nominators. Utilizing a linear model, I can assume that at full capacity, the service would amount to 50 DOT/mth. Providing that there isn't significant push-back I would seek top-ups with an 8 week notice for continuity of service.

The address used for payouts is `153NYWsbLZmFRZbuUk1sYoJPkYXQTiR3Efa5u5CohWQBKKr2` and it is the recipient of such funding. Feel free to examine the accounts transactions.

I operate such a service on Kusama and it is very [well subscribed](<https://github.com/paradox-tt/CrunchPayees/blob/main/Payees.txt>). It is also funded by tips that I've integrated into experiments conducted on-chain that we now benefit from (as norms) on Polkadot.

- [Using batch calls for treasury spends](<https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/58>)
- [Vulnerability discovery and general findings from the above](<https://kusama.polkassembly.io/post/2151>)
- [Using the treasurer tracks to manage Gov1 constructs](<https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/97>)
- [Using the scheduler on the treasurer track to approve and fund bounties with one vote](<https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/323>)



This referendum seeks 250 DOT (2500000000000 planks) issued to the payee `153NYWsbLZmFRZbuUk1sYoJPkYXQTiR3Efa5u5CohWQBKKr2`.
