### Summary

- **Objective:** Open XCM channels between Polkadot parachains to improve interoperability.
- **Current Issue:** Many parachains lack DOT in their "Child" accounts, making it difficult to open XCM channels.
- **Proposed Solution:** Deposit 2261 DOT into the "Child" accounts of fourteen parachains to facilitate channel openings.
- **Benefits:** Increases accessibility of parachain tokens on Polkadot DeFi platforms, enhances XCM traffic, and simplifies integration.
- **Implementation:** Targeting specific DOT amounts for each parachain based on size and potential use cases.
- **Feedback:** Initial feedback supports the initiative, with 72% of voters in favor of using treasury funds for this purpose.

Polkadot Treasury will deposit 2261 DOT into the Polkadot relaychain "Child" accounts of fourteen parachains to make it easier to open XCM channels between chains. The proposal aims to increase the amount of XCM traffic, make more parachain tokens accessible to Polkadot DeFi on Hydration, Bifrost, Moonbeam, Astar, and remove one technical barrier to further integration and use case development between chains. The proposal will be implemented by submitting governance proposals to each parachain to open channels. The proposal will cost less than $1k and will be paid in DOT.
