related: A Better Treasury System
We definitely do need some way of evaluating validators’ performance so they can be paid accordingly. It seems like the system parachain itself is the best place to evaluate and reward that.
Couldn’t the relay-chain treasury send to the system chain and have the system chain handle the rest, determining cost vs. contribution? The top-level budget of the relay chain would then only have to focus on the overall cost of the system chain, whereas the specifics will be handled by the system chain’s own logic. We could even make the reward mechanism on the system chain adaptive to different sizes of funding tranches from the relay chain, so that an X% change in the budget automatically maps onto an X% change in rewards for participants of the system chain.
