Registering for the Crowdloan

There are 2 different ways to register the crowdloan. You can either contribute via the standard crowdloan method, or you can contribute via Bifrost through the crowdloan site, which grants additional liquidity through the duration of the crowdloan (click here to learn more about Bifrost SALP liquidity mechanism). For users new to crowdloans, we would recommend the standard crowdloan method, but for users who are already familiar with liquid KSM and would like the additional liquidity, the Bifrost method provides a great solution.

Completing your crowdloan

The way that Bifrost’s liquidity protocol works is 2 steps:

You have to send your KSM from the Kusama chain to the Bifrost chain so that Bifrost may generate liquidity tokens for you upon completion of the contribution.
You have to contribute your KSM on the Bifrost chain to the crowdloan.

This 2 step process requires you to sign each of the transactions, so do not be alarmed if the Polkadot JS extension requests you to sign twice.

Step 1: Sending KSM from Kusama to Bifrost

Your total KSM in the wallet can be found in the top right corner.

* If you have already sent KSM over to Bifrost in a previous transaction, you can absolutely use the KSM from the previous transaction, in which case, please skip this step by clicking the `Step 2 — Contribute Bifrost KSM` link at the bottom of this flow.

Once you have confirmed that you have entered the correct amount and successfully applied your referral code you can hit the confirm button.

Once signed — please be patient, it takes time to send KSM across blockchains. A transaction can take around 15 seconds to go from pending to complete.

Step 2: Contributing Bifrost KSM

Once the previous transaction completes, you will be directed to this page, where you will be able to contribute to the crowdloan via Bifrost.

Once you have confirmed that you have entered the correct amount and successfully applied your referral code you can hit the confirm button.

You will then be prompted once again to authorize and sign the transaction via the polkadot.js extension. Once again, confirm that the details listed here are correct. When you are happy that they are correct, enter your password and sign the transaction.

Once signed — your transaction will be submitted and you will be directed to the following page.

A transaction can take around 15 seconds to go from pending to complete.

Once confirmed you will see the following screen displaying that your transaction is confirmed on Kusama.

Congratulations! You have successfully contributed to the Turing Network Crowdloan via Bifrost. If you want to view the details of your crowdloan including your total KSM locked and your rewards breakdown you can head to the following link.
