_**This bounty proposal aims to continue incentivizing Polkadot Moderators for their round-the-clock contribution and support to the communities.**_

The Community Moderators provide a dedicated daily service, actively monitoring new member joinings to ensure the community is protected from fraudsters. They guide users with first-line direction and support while promptly identifying and regulating or banning obvious scammers to maintain a safe environment for all.

The bounty has undergone some revisions, based on feedback from the community, including a reduction in size to 8 mods covering Telegram, Discord, Reddit, Element, and the Polkadot forum. More info regarding changes to the Bounty can be found on the [Proposal document](https://docs.google.com/document/d/17DiVi0fPZT4UMe2d5EaOQtuzDAP917LPHxaDoNgEToU)

This proposal requests a one-year top-up of $167,520 (82,118 DOT at EMA-7 of $2.04/DOT)
 to continue funding the Community Moderators from February 2026 to January 2027

Details of the proposal, including changes since the last top-up, analytics of servers and channels under our moderation umbrella, etc., can be found in the [Proposal document](https://docs.google.com/document/d/17DiVi0fPZT4UMe2d5EaOQtuzDAP917LPHxaDoNgEToU)

We look forward to your participation and input.
