Polkadot and Kusama 4 key point overview:
👉 Polkadot and Kusama plan to launch more than 50 parachains over the next 18 months and slots will be auctioned to the highest-bidding projects.
👉 Project categories include ecosystem development and second-layer solutions, such as DeFi apps and NFTs.
👉 Participants will be allowed to compete for Parachain lease rights via a candle auction system.
👉 The project that has committed the most DOT/KSM will win.
👉 Master Ventures intends to fund Parachain bids and promises to invest directly into the most promising projects in the evolving Polkadot/Kusama ecosystem.
About Polkadot and Kusama
👉 Created by Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood, Polkadot is a next-generation blockchain that prioritizes solving issues in the areas of scalability, security, and interoperability that most blockchains face.
👉 Polkadot offers improved governance mechanisms, interactivity with other chains, and chain upgradeability.
👉 Kusama is a simpler version of Polkadot and serves as a canary network between Polkadot’s testnet and live network.
👉 Polkadot is a single network that aims to enable multiple blockchains to work together, where each individual blockchain is called a parachain.
👉 Parachains need to be connected to Polkadot’s main network through a unique slot, but there is only a limited number of slots available and Master Ventures plans to capitalize on this opportunity.
