Topic: Kusama Parachain Slot auction - page 2. (Read 481 times)

today I went to 1 kusama in 2 projects. Let's see what it will give. I think that in any case this is a good idea, because depositing KSM tokens for 48 weeks is already a victory in any case. And also get some tokens of good projects.

"The Kusama Council just passed Motion 377 to schedule the next 48 auctions on yours truly. At block #9,777,777 on Oct. 23, 2021, the 12th auction on Kusama will commence, and continue on a weekly basis for the next 48 weeks."

"People have already crowdloaned 20% of the total $KSM supply and
@Web3foundation
anticipated 25%. Staking is at 42.8%. If it goes < %30, security is "compromised"

Bit.Country Crowdloan is live! Great list of backers and partners such as Acala, team with impressive list of achievements. Definitely looks like one of the best project in current batch.

Crowdloan rewards:
For every 1 KSM contributed, a minimum of 68 NEER is rewarded. (probably will be more in the end)
⚡Bonus Reward 1 — Early Bird
The first 1000 participants will receive an extra 10% bonus.
⚡Bonus Reward 2— Referral
If you refer someone and that person uses your referral code, both parties will receive an extra 5% bonus split (2.5% each) based on referred’s contribution.
For example, if you referred someone who received 100 $NEER from their base reward, Bit.Country will award an extra 2.5 $NEER to you and the referred.
❤️Bonus Reward 3— Land for Your Own Metaverse
Bit.Country will gift you land block(s) if your contribution is qualified. This additional reward will enable you to launch your own metaverse for your friends, families, or communities without breaking the bank.
Reward Distribution
Bit.Country will distribute 30% of the total reward at the Token Generation Event (TGE). The remaining 70%, will be distributed to you linearly over 12 months.
If you were gifted with land blocks(s), Bit.Country will distribute them shortly after the Bit.Country app goes live.

Bifrost Launches on Karura Swap With Over 200k BNC in Liquidity Mining Rewards

"Trustless trading for the BNC/kUSD pair will go live following a 48-hour period of one- or two-sided bootstrap provisioning on Karura."

You are absolutely correct that Kusama is a testnet for Polkadot.
First, you need to read at least a couple of articles to understand the main differences.
https://medium.com/polkadot-network/kusama-polkadot-comparing-the-cousins-170e4fe6c280
https://medium.com/coinmonks/polkadot-dot-mind-blowing-potential-project-45d359adff53

You can find governance and validators on this service
https://polkadot.js.org/apps/

Polkadot ecosystem and staking
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/polkadot-ecosystem-and-staking-5305730

So what is the main difference between Polkadot and Ethereum?
Ethereum is an open system where anyone can launch any project that can be good or fraudulent.
To launch a project in the Polkadot Ecosystem, you first need to win an auction for a place in the Kusama Ecosystem, complete testing, and then win an auction for a place in the Polkadot Ecosystem. With this approach, fraudulent projects will never join this ecosystem.
If your project is part of the Polkadot ecosystem, then it will automatically be able to interact with other projects in the ecosystem and have the same protection against attacks as the entire Polkadot ecosystem.
The Polkadot ecosystem is currently limited to 100 projects, so the best ones will be there.

You can start a project in "single mode" but then you have to build bridges or interact with ecosystems through other projects.
And the main disadvantage of this is that you will have to solve security issues yourself. You will have to make nodes, pay them a reward, and make sure that they do not do malicious acts.

If you have questions, then ask them.

"An additional 10% of Picasso’s native token (PICA) supply will be allocated to contributors, on top of the rewards we have announced so far.
Should we not secure the 10th or 11th slot, resulting in an additional crowdloan in the next slot auctions, 5% will be given to contributors who previously staked in our prior crowdloan, and restake the same amount. Additionally, 5% will be distributed to stakers who contribute to the crowdloan after it has reached 100,000 KSM. These bonus rewards would be distributed during the next round of parachain auctions."

From what I have read, Kusama is the testnet for Polkadot and the mainnet is yet to be launched. Then why is it that both the tokens are already being traded. DOT is supposed to be the governance token but who is holding all of this DOT and where do the votes happen?

I also tried to check the validator stats but the telemetry link on the official website gave an error. There are plenty of projects but the research behind the founders and teams is way more sketchier than it used to be for ICOs. In case of Ethereum, there was atleast this forum where a lot of people used to hunt for scam teams and tried some level of dissuasion. How is that being done on something like Polkadot?

Seeing that you have a lot of posts related to Polkadot, you'd be the ideal person to answer some of these.. @Zasad@

Sherpax (KSX) is a very interesting project, but it has very little chance if you look at how many users voted for it.
Polkadot is very slow to launch the ecosystem and it can take several months to deploy a project on the Kusama testnet.
The developers promised us the launch of auctions on Polkadot in the 3rd quarter, and soon the 4th quarter.
The very low speed of launching projects is a big problem.

There is one very interesting project in current auctions:
https://ksmslot.chainx.cc/

Sherpax (KSX) - which will serve as testing ground for ChainX similar way like Kusama is for PolkaDot.

https://chainx-org.medium.com/chainx-kusama-parachain-sherpax-light-paper-5341ff855c9c




Chainx is becoming so big with its plans and development that such thing is crucial for its future being.
Just read this:
https://chainx-org.medium.com/chainx-an-overview-a418005e54bf

They are also building own decetralized chat app - Comming App - that is like Telegram on steroids - with inbuilt cryptocurrencies support, NFT, digital idendity etc.

SHIDEN is PLASM NETWORK on Kusama Testnet
If very briefly about the project, then these are level 2 solutions, parachains, they want to make a quick interaction between the ecosystems of Polkadot and Ethereum

KARURA is ACALA NETWORK on Kusama Testnet

I do not recommend buying Kusama now to participate in auctions because it is too expensive.
This is a testnet that will show us how the polcadot ecosystem will work in the future.
