1
Once your bounty is shown as "funded" on the main Bounties page, you can now propose a curator for the bounty.
2
Navigate to [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)
3
Click "Preimages".
4
Click "Add preimage".
5
Click on the first dropdown menu...
6
...and select "bounties".
7
Click on the second dropdown menu...
8
...and select "proposeCurator(bountyId, curator, fee).
9
Enter the ID of your bounty.
10
Enter the Polkadot address of the curator (a standard account or a multisig account), then Enter the amount to be paid out as the curator fee (in DOT).
11
Copy the preimage hash and the preimage length, and save them in a 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.proposeCurator() call). This amount will need to be manually unlocked after the referendum passes (in case of Community approval) or if the referendum fails (in case of Community rejection).
12
Double-check all your entries and click "Submit preimage".
13
Click "Sign and Submit" to finalise your preimage submission.
You will need to go to [https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Fdot-rpc.stakeworld.io#/preimages](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Fdot-rpc.stakeworld.io#/preimages) to check that your preimage is listed on-chain.
14
Navigate to the main Referenda page: [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)
15
Click "Submit proposal" to submit the OpenGov referendum.
16
Select the track that closely matches the amount of DOT you are requesting. More information about the tracks of Polkadot Opengov is available here: [https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/maintain-guides-opengov#origins-and-tracks-info](https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/maintain-guides-opengov#origins-and-tracks-info)
17
Paste the Preimage hash and enter the Preimage length you previously saved.
18
Double-check all your entries and click "Submit proposal".
19
Click "Sign and Submit" to finalise your on-chain referendum submission.
Once your submission is executed, your referendum will appear under your chosen track on the main referenda page.
20
Find your referendum on the main referenda page and click "Decision deposit" to open your referendum to community vote.
The amounts required for a Decision deposit depend on the referendum track chosen. More information is available here: [https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/maintain-guides-opengov#origins-and-tracks-info](https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/maintain-guides-opengov#origins-and-tracks-info)
21
Click "Place deposit".
22
Click "Sign and Submit" to finalise your OpenGov referendum submission.
23
Click on the arrow on the right-hand side of your OpenGov referendum.
24
Click on the symbol for "Polkassembly" or "Subsquare" to be directed to the referendum post. You will need to log into either of these platforms with the account that submitted the OpenGov referendum and edit the Title and Description automatically generated.
Once you have provided the contextual information for the assignment of curators to your bounty, you can announce your OpenGov referendum in the Polkadot Direction channel and invite the community to review and vote. Polkadot Direction Channel: [https://matrix.to/#/#Polkadot-Direction:parity.io](https://matrix.to/#/#Polkadot-Direction:parity.io)
25
Once your OpenGov referendum has been approved by the Community, has been accepted by the curator, and has served the required Spending period (up to 24 days), the Bounty will show as "active" on the main Bounties page.
The curator needs to formally accept the curator role by signing an "acceptCurator()" call. More information about when to do this can be found on the main Bounties page.
