Dear community,



This proposal seeks to fund collators of the Statemine network for the duration of 6 months as a pilot. If passed, a Collator will receive a performance based, fixed fiat reward of USD$300.00 per month as well a one time reimbursement for work previously provided. The proposal document was presented to current System Collators as well as Joe (W3F) and Zoltan (Encointer) to their satisfaction.


Additionally, I am taking the opportunity to test assigning a Curator to the bounty within the same proposal as approving it. This is usually undertaken as a separate process because the bounty needs to be approved before it can be assigned a Curator. Let's see how this goes, no time would be lost due to this experiment.


The Curators are namely:

• FrankyWild (frankywild#8573)
• Tim Jansen (Tim Janssen (Won't DM)#8682)
• Husni (pastaMan#9738)

These individuals are members of the Moderation and Anti-scam teams and also have experience with bounty curation. They have also met the requirements as described within section 5.2 of the proposal.

Summary:

A System Parachain (S.C.) is defined as any Parachain which attained its lease via governance. This proposal aims to establish a framework for Collators on System Parachains to minimise censorship, maintain liveliness and incentivise efficient performance.

It attempts to achieve this by suggesting parameters for the selection, incentivisation and the ideal number of Collators on System Parachains. It is also anticipated that this framework would form a standard that would aid future System Parachains as they are deployed.

As a medium term solution, 1,873.69 KSM is requested to fund a bounty to incentivise Collators on the Statemine network for six (6) months. This would be used as a pilot test and re-evaluated before further funding is provided.
