**Proposal: Test Transfer of 1 DOT from Kusama Treasury Back to Bill’s Account**

**Track:** Track 32 - Small Spender 

**Request:** 1 DOT (≈ 0.25 KSM at 1 KSM = 4 DOT)

<ins>**Objective:** </ins>This proposal aims to perform a live test of Kusama’s multi-asset treasury capabilities by executing a transfer of 1 DOT (a Polkadot asset) from the Kusama treasury to a known account. We will be using the verified BILL’s account, as he has already donated 2 DOT to the treasury [(https://assethub-kusama.subscan.io/extrinsic/8552922-2)](url). so this request takes back only half of that contribution, leaving the treasury net +1 DOT. 

By using this modest amount, we ensure minimal risk while proving the end-to-end flow: governance approval, cross-chain asset handling, and receipt by the beneficiary once the DOT/KSM rate and bridge are in place.

<ins>**Track and Configuration:**</ins> We are using the Small Spender treasury track for this test. The Small Spender track on Kusama is designed for low-value spends and has a hard cap of 10 KSM-equivalent per proposal.

With the rate set in Referendum 521 ( 1 KSM = 4 DOT → 1 DOT = 0.25 KSM ), the requested 1 DOT corresponds to 0.25 KSM, which is just 2.5 % of the 10 KSM.

<ins>**Transfer Details:** </ins>The on-chain call will utilize the new Treasury.spend extrinsic (multi-asset spend version).

Under the hood, this call instructs the Kusama treasury’s sovereign account on Asset Hub to send 1 DOT to the beneficiary. The assetKind parameters will designate Asset Hub (parachain ID 1000) as the location and DOT’s asset ID on that chain, and the beneficiary will be given as an XCM multi-location corresponding to <ins>JFArxqV6rqPSwBok3zQDnj5jL6vwsZQDwYXXqb1cFygnYVt</ins> on Asset Hub. Because the asset rate for DOT is already set, the governance system will automatically validate that 1 DOT ≈ 0.25 KSM is within the Small Spender track’s limit before the referendum can be approved.

<ins>**Rationale:**</ins>  This test has several important motivations:

- Proof of Functionality &  
- Safety First & 
- Parameter Verification & 
- Demonstrating OpenGov Agility

**<ins>Call Preimage (for reference)</ins>**: The precise call data will be constructed as a treasury.spend call. In human-readable terms, it will look like:

Treasury.spend( { location: { parents:0, interior:{ X1:{ Parachain:1000 } } }, assetId: { Concrete:{ parents:2, interior:{ X1:{ GlobalConsensus:"Polkadot" } } } } }, 10_000_000_000, { parents:0, interior:{ X1:{ AccountId32:"<Bill-addr>" } } }, null )
This call will be encoded and submitted as the preimage for the referendum.  

<ins>**Conclusion**</ins>
By approving this proposal, the Kusama community will conduct a safe, low-value experiment to affirm our newfound ability to handle cross-chain treasury spends. We will transfer 1 DOT from the Kusama Treasury to Bill’s account <ins>JFArxqV6rqPSwBok3zQDnj5jL6vwsZQDwYXXqb1cFygnYVt</ins>, verify its receipt on Asset Hub, and thereby demonstrate that the Kusama treasury can seamlessly spend non-KSM assets, specifically DOT.  

After enactment anyone may call treasury.payout(<spendID>) – we will do so immediately and post the Tx hash in the comments.


Propose and approve a spend of treasury funds.

## Dispatch Origin

Must be [`Config::SpendOrigin`] with the `Success` value being at least
`amount` of `asset_kind` in the native asset. The amount of `asset_kind` is converted
for assertion using the [`Config::BalanceConverter`].

## Details

Create an approved spend for transferring a specific `amount` of `asset_kind` to a
designated beneficiary. The spend must be claimed using the `payout` dispatchable within
the [`Config::PayoutPeriod`].

### Parameters
- `asset_kind`: An indicator of the specific asset class to be spent.
- `amount`: The amount to be transferred from the treasury to the `beneficiary`.
- `beneficiary`: The beneficiary of the spend.
- `valid_from`: The block number from which the spend can be claimed. It can refer to
  the past if the resulting spend has not yet expired according to the
  [`Config::PayoutPeriod`]. If `None`, the spend can be claimed immediately after
  approval.

## Events

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