Kintsugi is Market Resistant: Kintsugi’s network withstood extreme market conditions throughout the launch that included a 40% shrinking of the TVL locked in DeFi as well as the “big KSM unlocking”. No Vaults were liquidated due to price volatility.

Start Your INTR Claim Process!

"INTR has taken one step closer to distribution! As of today you can now sign the Terms & Conditions and kickstart your INTR claim process.

What does this mean?
As with all distributions occurring on Polkadot, you’ll need to sign the terms & conditions before you receive your INTR, doing so helps speed up the overall claiming process, helping increase liquidity right from the start.

This means your INTR will be airdropped to you once distribution is ready later on this month!"

Trustless Bitcoin Bridge Launched on Kusama Network. Polkadot Next.

"As a canary network, kBTC is following a multi-phase launch process. While anyone can spin up a Vault, initially the amount of BTC locked will be limited — using collateral ceilings like in MakerDAO.
The initial ceiling is USD 400,000 worth KSM collateral. Once maxed out, governance will propose to double the ceiling to 800k, then to 1.6 million, etc. gradually scaling. In parallel, new kBTC integrations and use cases will be released, balancing supply and demand."

KINT Staking Rewards can be Activated
Staking rewards are ready to be activated, according to the Kintsugi tokenomics: 5% of 4 year supply (i.e., 500k KINT), emitted linearly (i.e., 125k KINT per year).

"Hi, our goal for distributing of INTR is 4-6 weeks after we launch the network, similar to other projects.
Participants will receive INTR after Interlay wins a parachain slot (February 24th), launches the network (March 11th), and enables token transfers (TBA). 30% will be available when transfers are enabled, the remaining 70% vest linearly over 96 weeks (there parachain lease duration).
The team is working hard on bringing it out ASAP, and will keep everyone updated. Thank you very much and congratulations "

https://medium.com/interlay/are-you-ready-to-run-a-vault-2e81fe1767cf
"Risks of Running a Vault
Price fluctuations — The Vaults take on liquidation risk in the event of a significant drop in the relative price of the collateralized assets. In addition to over-collateralization, this risk is mitigated with a diversified multi-collateral system. This measure reduces the single point of failure in the event of an individual collateral asset’s rapid drop in value.
Oracle failures — Vaults depend on reliable oracle support to feed accurate exchange rate information. Interlay has installed auto-shutdown mechanisms and partners with multiple reliable oracle providers to avoid mistaken liquidations.
Software bugs — This risk is present in all software. The best way to avoid harmful bugs is to use best coding practices, provide transparency through open-source code, implement frequent audits, and have a competent engineering team with peer-reviewed research. Visit Interlay’s GitHub page to verify best practices, auditing, and transparency.
Blockchain failure — This risk exists outside of our control. The best one can do is independently research the open-source code base of Bitcoin and Kusama, and manage risk accordingly."

"Kintsugi Vesting Schedule
Our team is aware that vesting does not respect our code that sets the requirement that 70% of the tokens should vest for a total of 48 weeks. The root cause for this issue stems from the fact that parachains should produce a block every 12 seconds, but in reality block production is slower (22 seconds at the moment). This problem affects other parachain teams as well. We are working towards fixing the issue."

Interlay’s 2021: A Year of Development and Growth
https://medium.com/interlay/interlays-2021-a-year-of-development-and-growth-1f4d596212a2
"Here are some of our most memorable scores!
From a company of few members, we grew into an extraordinary team of 17 people from all across the globe;

Our community expanded from a few hundred to over 30k on Twitter (@interlaqHQ, @kintsugi_btc, @inter_btc), Discord, and Telegram;

In 4 months only, we managed to launch a solid Ambassador Programme, and now over 100 ambassadors are volunteering to test, educate, and grow the community;

We raised $9.5 million in venture capital to fund growth and development, and wrote tens of thousands of lines of code;

We completed 2 security audits (NCC and Informal Systems);

We were awarded 2 Grants: continuing the Web3 Foundation grant on Polkadot and starting a new collaboration with Cosmos’ Interchain Foundation.
One of our largest achievements, after two years of hard work, we won a Kusama parachain slot with Kintsugi, Interlay’s canary network, with 200,000 KSM locked from 11,000+ supporters. In December, Kintsugi launched as a 100% decentralized network following our commitment to staying true to Bitcoin’s vision of creating a new, radically open financial system."

"Interlay is a decentralized network dedicated to connecting Bitcoin with meta-protocols like Polkadot and smart contract blockchains like Ethereum.

For their first milestone as part of the SBP, the team at Interlay integrated the Democracy, Collective, Membership, and Society pallets into the chain code, as well as determined and configured sensible parameters for Interlay.
Implemented the distribution of governance tokens to participants based on their contribution with the help of a modified version of the Scalable Reward Scheme when dealing with changing stake sizes.

We have written a 200+ page specification that we use for audits and in the future - formal verification of our code: https://spec.interlay.io/
Our code is 100% open source and has been audited by 2 companies (NCC and Informal Systems). A 3rd audit starts in 2 weeks, and there are more audits scheduled in 2022."

KINTSUGI LISTING ON THE GATE

KINT/USDT pair - https://www.gate.io/ru/trade/KINT_USDT

According to Alexei Zamyatin, THE = October. Therefore, about 40% of the coins are now available from the crowdloan.
now about 7% of the coins from the saplai have been unlocked.
To get the latest unlocked KINT tokens, the instruction is different from the primary claim. You don't need to wait 48 hours they'll be unlocked immediately after following the instructions.

Here is the guide - https://docs.interlay.io/#/kintsugi/guides?id=claim-vested-tokens.

I don't contributed via fearless wallet app and accessing it to polkadot.js there is some error on showing the tokens via balance since there is something wrong on Kintsugi setting but they show how the tokens are claimed with some witty set up. I'm sure many have contributed via that site and app, so they thinking the tokens hasn't arrived but when they sign up the T and C they can see it claimed and safe.
