The requested budget is reasonable and well-documented. For example, each collator has a reward cap of $300/month, conditional on achieving a 100% block production rate. Nodes that miss blocks will have their rewards proportionally reduced. All payouts are tracked via a child bounty system, ensuring strong transparency and accountability.
