Kylin Weekly Update #9: Progress
Project Update:
It has been an intense couple of weeks since our last community update. Since then, we accidentally joined a parachain auction ahead of our anticipated schedule. Led the parachain auction for slot #24 for some time before our position was usurped by Parathread 2057, who went on to win the auction.
During this time, we had some uproar in the Kylin community and the wider Dotsama community as members expressed their dissatisfaction with how the parachain auction was being executed. The perceived rewards, the lack of communication, and many more. This led team Kylin to make a statement to address the community’s concerns.
A couple of hours later, the team shared details of the parachain crowdloan, detailing plans of Kylin once granted a parachain on Polkadot, and more importantly, a revised and much-improved reward for DOT loaned to the project. The community received this well, and it has been smooth sailing.
Pichiu KSM Crowdloan Distribution Details
The team also published details of the KSM/Pichiu crowdloan distribution to crowdloaners that helped Kylin’s Canary Network - Pichiu secure a parachain slot on Kusama. And in less than 24 hours after the post was published, several community members confirmed receipt of their PCHU tokens.
Next up, KYL holders will receive their PCHU airdrop any time now. The tech team is working on seamlessly linking the ERC20 wallet to a substrate-based wallet to ensure eligible wallets receive their airdrops.
Ongoing Parachain Auction
Yesterday, a tweet thread was posted from the official Kylin Twitter account, detailing a progress report of the ongoing parachain auction for slot #25. Kylin Network is currently in pole position to win the auction for the #25 parachain slot, with 85% leading block. This is due to the community's enormous support to make this happen.
Kylin Network has hit its set max cap of 150,000 DOT, making Kylin the 3rd project in the history of Polkadot to accomplish this feat. Only Moonbeam and Efinity have achieved this, maxing out their crowdloan cap.
ERC20 Staking Pause
With reference to a tweet thread shared on the Kylin official Twitter page that announced the commencement of the staking program. The third tweet reads
“The provision, though, would be that we would want to clear out the ERC-20-based staking program in due time with the Polkadot Parachain win for Kylin Network and our transition to solely DOT-native status - there will be ample time to assess and plan for that, though!“
With Kylin’s victory on the horizon in securing a parachain slot on Polkadot, we want to announce that the staking program will be paused from September. As we transition to the DOT native status, we may continue the program in the nearest future. Watch out for more updates.
