### Date: September 2024 
- Proponent: Amforc 
- Requested KSM: 2860

## Short description: 
We propose to showcase Polkadot’s high scalability in a real-world setting by submitting enough transactions to completely fill blocks for ca. 40 minutes. To ensure that this proceeds as smoothly as possible on Polkadot and following community feedback, we would like to test it on Kusama first. To conduct this test, we require KSM to pay for the transaction fees plus to temporarily finance some existential deposits (EDs).  
 
## Note: 
At least 80% of the KSM spent in fees through this proposal will be returned to the treasury (see: https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/learn-polkadot-opengov-treasury). We will also return any excess KSM remaining after spamming transactions or KSMs used for temporary EDs.

Amforc takes no cut for conducting this experiment. For full disclosure, as Amforc operates validators on Kusama, these validators may occasionally collect part of the transaction fees.

Please find the full proposal [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YZNxvBqmpiVvHwq0yQ0EmGsnI7eCh1pieyFQ0WoNkAM)

Propose and approve a spend of treasury funds.

## Dispatch Origin

Must be [`Config::SpendOrigin`] with the `Success` value being at least `amount`.

### Details
NOTE: For record-keeping purposes, the proposer is deemed to be equivalent to the
beneficiary.

### Parameters
- `amount`: The amount to be transferred from the treasury to the `beneficiary`.
- `beneficiary`: The destination account for the transfer.

## Events

Emits [`Event::SpendApproved`] if successful.

- **Problem Statement:** 
  - Showcase Polkadot's scalability by filling blocks with transactions, requiring KSM for fees and EDs.

- **Significance:** 
  - Testing scalability in a real-world scenario on Kusama before Polkadot.

- **Proposed Solution:** 
  - Conduct a test by submitting transactions to fill blocks for approximately 40 minutes.

- **Expected Outcomes:** 
  - Demonstrating Polkadot's scalability potential and returning at least 80% of KSM spent in fees to the treasury.
