Dear Community Members,

This bounty is designed 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)**

**[Discussion](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/post/1994)**

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

**Funding Amounts:** 15,882.78 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,

Mile, on behalf of System Parachain Collators
