    Navigate to the main Bounties page: [https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Frpc.polkadot.io#/bounties](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Frpc.polkadot.io#/bounties)
    Click "Add Bounty".
    Enter the chosen name for your bounty and the requested allocation for the bounty (in DOT).
    Click "Add Bounty".
    Click "Sign and Submit" to finalise your submission.
    The bounty ID will appear here.
    Click here to reveal more details about the on-chain submission.
    You will need to follow the link to Polkassembly or Subsquare and sign into the platform with the proposer's Polkadot account to edit the automatic post generated by your on-chain submission.
    Please make sure to provide the same contextual information as you have provided earlier in the discussion post. Once this is done, please feel free to announce your Bounty proposal in the Direction channel and invite the Community to review all documents. Polkadot Direction Channel: [https://matrix.to/#/#polkadot-direction:parity.io](https://matrix.to/#/#polkadot-direction:parity.io)
    The bounty is now ready to be submitted as an OpenGov referendum for vote by the Polkadot Community.
    Navigate to [https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Frpc-polkadot.luckyfriday.io#/referenda](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Frpc-polkadot.luckyfriday.io#/referenda)
    Click "Add preimage" to submit information about your bounty proposal.
    Click on the first dropdown menu...
    ...and select "bounties".
    Click on the second dropdown menu...
    ...and select "approveBounty(bountyId)".
    Enter the bounty ID.
    Copy the Preimage hash and note down the Preimage length of your submission, and save them in a word document.
    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".
