N/A - This proposal was incorrectly submitted.

Vote NO - Mistake in submission - New referenda coming shortly -  Polkadot @ Coindesk Consensus

### Summary of the Cancelled Referendum

- The P<>K bridge charges fees on Asset Hub but pays relayer rewards from AssetHub's accounts on BridgeHub parachains.
- Initial funding for these accounts was proposed to come from the treasury.
- An initial amount of 10,000 DOT and 2,000 KSM was suggested for the bridge's startup.
- The bridge would eventually cover its costs from user fees and any surplus would go to the treasury.
- The proposal aimed to avoid delays by having a known contributor receive and distribute the funds.
- If rejected, the plan was to create another referendum for direct treasury funding, which would delay the bridge's deployment.
- The referendum was cancelled because the preimage was removed, making execution impossible.
