### Summary of Polkadot System Parachain Collators Proposal

- **Collator Rewards**: Currently, Collators on System Parachains receive minimal rewards and transaction fees, which may discourage them from acting favorably or adequately resourcing their operations.
  
- **Funding Proposal**: The proposal suggests that Collators should receive funding for their services, ideally provided by the chain itself in a sustainable manner.

- **Medium-Term Solution**: In the short term, funding can be provided by the respective Treasuries through a bounty system, allowing for pre-allocated and independently managed funds.

- **Current Proposal**: This proposal seeks 7,289.03 DOT for Collators on the Polkadot System Parachains network for services delivered from October to December 2023.

- **Future Plans**: Starting from January 2024, future cost compensation will be managed under the "Polkadot System Parachain Collators Bounty."

- **Community Involvement**: The Polkadot community is encouraged to review the proposal and provide feedback or suggestions.

- **Previous Approval**: The previous 2-month operation tip was approved under Referenda #156.
