This proposal supplements the original System Parachain Collator [Proposal](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1H2T1Nx90HkSAYF_CaOPLG-o3LS7h_QAa2WLDdcSJMs0/edit), and continues the proposal for [System Parachain funding](https://docs.google.com/document/d/14pRUj8WZPO75DuwDl4HoZU97v_Rmfx0bZ2KFqFW-qkE/edit), aiming to incentivize the best performance, minimise censorship, and maintain liveliness by securing treasury funding for the operational costs of Kusama System Parachain Collators. 


**Funding Request:** Infrastructure Costs and Staking Rewards

**Coverage:** Five Polkadot System Parachains (AssetHub, BridgeHub, Coretime, People and Encointer)
