‍What is happening?

A new crowdloan opens for the community to support peaq’s bid to lease a parachain slot on Polkadot’s relay chain — an important milestone on the journey to the Economy of Things. With a cap of 375,000 $DOT, there's plenty of rewards and bonuses for contributors joining in.

‍

Why does it matter?

While the peaq ecosystem already spans across multiple blockchains, a parachain slot lease on Polkadot is a key pre-condition for the mainnet launch later in the year. 

‍

What does this mean for the community?

By supporting the crowdloan, the community gets another chance to get their $PEAQ tokens and support the project on its mission to distribute the boons of the automation era more equitably as its ecosystem keeps expanding. Head here to contribute, or read on for more info.

‍

The Polkadot scene, one of the most bustling ones in the entire Web3, is hot these days. In the previous auction batch, our crowdloan saw the highest number of $DOT tokens locked in, collecting more than 168,000 $DOT across more than 1,000 contributors. It was a valiant effort, but it was not enough to outmaneuver Moonsama and Acala, who powered on through past the other competitors.

‍

The upcoming auction batch will likely get even more heated, but we are throwing our hat into the ring again. We took the community feedback to heart, increasing the base reward and adding extra rewards and milestones. Our new and improved crowdloan is once open — here is what you need to know for joining in on the fun.
