Gavin Wood announced the arrangement schedule for Kusama’s auctions last Tuesday:
· The Kusama Council will vote on June 15 to put the auction in motion, then go through a referendum to begin the first auction.
· The first auction is expected to be held on June 15 at 8:00 pm.
· The auction will last seven days with a 2-day bidding period and a 5-day closing period. It is recommended that votes are cast in the first two days to support any preferred projects, as the auction will close randomly in the next five days.
· Kusama will launch five auctions consecutively, where the next auction will start immediately after the end of the previous one. After five auctions, Kusama will wait for some time to see how the network is running before continuing with other auctions.
· According to Gavin Wood, Kusama’s auction, to a certain extent, helps Polkadot to deploy auction-related functions and reduce the risk of failure. Polkaworld expects that Polkadot’s auction will come after Kusama’s live auctions.
At present, ten ecosystem projects, such as Karura, Darwinia Crab, and Moonriver, have initiated crowd loan activities. A total of 535,068 KSM have been received, accounting for 5% of the project’s total supply, where:
· Karura received 357,127 KSMs temporarily
