Proposal: Additional Funding for Polkadot System Parachain Collators
Requested allocation: 42,316.54 DOT
Bounty #32 DOT address: 13UVJyLnbVp9RBZYFwHYxaA7NBbKRCL4bLMscV5JwwLTVE6j
This proposal seeks additional funding to support the operational status and provide a bounty top-up budget for collators on Polkadot's System Parachains. Collators are essential for maintaining network security, decentralization, and performance. While previous referenda have successfully provided the necessary resources for their effective operation, additional funds are required to sustain these efforts and adapt to the expanding network demands.
This proposal will focus on the operational status and the bounty top-up budget, while more detailed information can be found under the bounty page and in earlier proposals, as listed below.
