> The voters expressed unanimous support by affirming that the proposal justified fulfilling the previously approved treasury payment despite technical setbacks. They argued that rectifying the failed asset transfer was necessary to honor commitments made in earlier proposals. The comments highlighted that even though administrative errors led to an unsuccessful payment execution, addressing the issue was fair and essential to uphold past approvals.

This proposal is to replace and recover a failed treasury spend that Snowbridge submitted earlier this year. The spend was for a past proposal that failed because at the time when it was claimed, there was not enough USDC in the Asset Hub treasury.

The claim extrinsic was successfully submitted to Polkadot, but then when the XCM was sent to AssetHub to transfer the funds, the transfer failed due to insufficient USDC.

Unfortunately, we cannot retry the claim since Polkadot marked it as successful, even though the XCM failed.

The original approved treasury spend is here: [https://polkadot.subscan.io/treasury\_spend/29](https://polkadot.subscan.io/treasury_spend/29)

The **treasury.spend** extrinsic that succeeded on Polkadot: [https://polkadot.subscan.io/extrinsic/25613045-2?tab=event](https://polkadot.subscan.io/extrinsic/25613045-2?tab=event)

The corresponding XCM message that was processed *(and failed)* on AssetHub due to insufficient USDC: [https://assethub-polkadot.subscan.io/block/8652209?tab=event\&event=8652209-7](https://assethub-polkadot.subscan.io/block/8652209?tab=event\&event=8652209-7) - the XCM message queue was processed correctly, but within the event one can see that the message itself was not successful.

This proposal creates a new spend, the same as the original one, ie, **312,500 USDC**

- Snowbridge needs to fix a failed payment from earlier.  
- The payment failed because there wasn't enough USDC in the treasury.  
- The system thought the payment worked, but it didn't.  
- They can't try again because the system marked it as done.  
- The original payment was approved here: [link](https://polkadot.subscan.io/treasury_spend/29).  
- The payment looked successful on Polkadot: [link](https://polkadot.subscan.io/extrinsic/25613045-2?tab=event).  
- But it failed on AssetHub: [link](https://assethub-polkadot.subscan.io/block/8652209?tab=event\&event=8652209-7).  
- They are asking for the same amount again: **312,500 USDC**.
