Kusama Treasury

The Kusama treasury is a pot of funds collected through transaction fees, slashing, staking inefficiencies, etc. The funds held in the treasury can be spent by making a spending proposal that, if approved by the Council, will get the distribution KSM.

The role of the treasury is to provide financial support for projects that promote the development of the Kusama network, thereby promoting the prosperity of the Kusama ecosystem. Any KSM holder can submit a Treasury Proposal to apply for KSM in the Treasury. But you must reserve a deposit totaling 5% of the proposed spend or 3.3 KSM. This deposit will be slashed if the proposal is rejected, and returned if the proposal was accepted.
