This proposal requests $392,500 USDC to fund the operational costs of the Paseo testnet for H1 2026. This is the first Paseo funding proposal denominated in stablecoins, made possible by the newly deployed multi-asset bounty pallet. The remaining DOT balance in the existing bounty (~38,946 DOT) will be returned to the Polkadot treasury upon transition.
