I was reading the Ardor white paper. On page 18 (forging vs bundling) it says
What does „to pay fees to the forgers“ mean? Does it mean that the child chain token fees are paid to the forgers?
Or rather that the child chain fees are paid to a central instance (let's call him operator) of the child chain which collects the fees, propagates the bundled child chain transactions to the network and pays the forgers with Ardor token?

Collect fees from child chain transaction senders, in native child chain coins

Pay fees to the forgers, in order to have their child chain block included in an Ardor block

The second one. Just there will be no central instance, as bundler can be anybody, having some ARDR in order to included bundled transactions into main ARDR chain.
So every participant of the child chain who owns Ardor token can be the bundler? How is the bundler then determined which propagates the bundled child chain transactions?
Everything in the whitepaper is pretty straightforward for me, to this point.
First question- yes.
Second question- one of the criteria is the lowest bundler fees.
Okay thanks. One last question on this topic. How do you qualify as a Bundler? Do you have to explicitly enable this and to provide a childchain token fee to ask in order to be qualified as a Bundler?
