    Please note that submitting a Preimage will temporarily move some of your account balance into a reserved state (i.e around 40 DOT for the basic bounties.approveBounty() call). This amount will need to be manually unlocked after the bounty is funded (in case of Community approval) or if the referendum fails (in case of Community rejection).

    Double-check all your entries and click "Submit preimage".
