**Duration:** 6 months 

**Updated: Re-community feedback**

In our last proposal, we gathered feedback on compensation, milestones, and scope. Opinions varied; some felt the proposal was too ambitious for its duration, while others thought it wasn’t ambitious enough. We also heard from community members and fellow agents who wanted clearer KPIs, updated compensation details, and more committed hours.

We reflected on this feedback and we have updated the following parts of the proposal:

* **Shortened duration:** The proposal now spans **6 months** instead of the original timeframe.
* **Success metrics/KPIs:** These are now clearly outlined in the milestones section.
* **Updated compensation:** We’ve reduced the number of roles and focus countries, increased commitment hours for the team, and ensured rates are fair and in line with similar initiatives and other rates globally.
* **Scope:** The scope remains the same, but we’ll roll it out in smaller, intentional steps, scaling as we deliver results, reflected in our updated KPIs.

Propose and approve a spend of treasury funds.

## Dispatch Origin

Must be [`Config::SpendOrigin`] with the `Success` value being at least
`amount` of `asset_kind` in the native asset. The amount of `asset_kind` is converted
for assertion using the [`Config::BalanceConverter`].

## Details

Create an approved spend for transferring a specific `amount` of `asset_kind` to a
designated beneficiary. The spend must be claimed using the `payout` dispatchable within
the [`Config::PayoutPeriod`].

### Parameters
- `asset_kind`: An indicator of the specific asset class to be spent.
- `amount`: The amount to be transferred from the treasury to the `beneficiary`.
- `beneficiary`: The beneficiary of the spend.
- `valid_from`: The block number from which the spend can be claimed. It can refer to
  the past if the resulting spend has not yet expired according to the
  [`Config::PayoutPeriod`]. If `None`, the spend can be claimed immediately after
  approval.

## Events

Emits [`Event::AssetSpendApproved`] if successful.
