# Child Bounties Pallet ( `pallet-child-bounties` )

## Child Bounty

> NOTE: This pallet is tightly coupled with `pallet-treasury` and `pallet-bounties`.

With child bounties, a large bounty proposal can be divided into smaller chunks,
for parallel execution, and for efficient governance and tracking of spent funds.
A child bounty is a smaller piece of work, extracted from a parent bounty.
A curator is assigned after the child bounty is created by the parent bounty curator,
to be delegated with the responsibility of assigning a payout address once
the specified set of tasks is completed.
