- 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.

- **Problem Statement:** Showcasing Polkadot's high scalability by filling blocks with transactions, targeting the Polkadot community.
- **Significance:** Testing scalability on Kusama before Polkadot, requiring 2860 KSM for transaction fees and temporary EDs.
- **Proposed Solution:** Conduct a test by submitting transactions to fill blocks for approximately 40 minutes on Kusama.
- **Expected Outcomes:** Demonstrating Polkadot's scalability in a real-world scenario, with at least 80% of KSM fees returned to the treasury.
