In November 2021, Bifrost has announced its support for the Darwinia crowdloan, the Web3.0 Cross-Chain Bridge Hub. Bifrost is committed to providing liquidity to locked assets between multiple chains and establishing a liquidity bridge between heterogeneous chains.

During this Polkadot crowdloan event, Bifrost will cooperate with Darwinia to help crowdloan participants access the liquid derivatives of staked DOT. We will also create innovative solutions for participating in the Polkadot crowdloan competitive opportunities under the multi-chain development pattern.

Bifrost’s advantage is to mint fully decentralized liquid derivatives based on the Kusama Parachain and provide rich derivatives use cases for contributors participating in the Darwinia crowdloan, including derivative farming, liquidity mining, swaps, and cross-chain token swaps. Support for the Darwinia crowdloan event will help Bifrost unlock a new opportunity with the Darwinia community to introduce the Slot Auction Liquidity Protocol (SALP) and encourage more users to participate in the Darwinia crowdloan.

Darwinia Network is a decentralized cross-chain bridge network building on Substrate, the “cross-chain bridge hub” of the Web 3.0 Metaverse. It provides a safe and general bridging solution, connecting to Polkadot, Ethereum, TRON, and other heterogeneous chains by cross-chain transfer of assets and remote chain calls. Darwinia has been contributing to the compatibility and interoperability of the Metaverse.

Bifrost uses a combination of Polkadot multi-signature + Kusama Parachain for the SALP to provide a complete experience for the Darwinia crowdloan. This innovative crowdloan liquidity solution will allow users to increase capital utilization during the 96-week crowdloan lock-up period and make choices about their risk appetite. Darwinia will assist Bifrost, provide technical support in the crowdloan docking process, and promote long-term cooperation between Bifrost and Darwinia.

The integration is in the first phase, and a final version will be released once Bifrost onboards as a Polkadot Parachain. The multisig will be represented by onchain logic under the Bifrost SALP pallet, the same as the Bifrost SALP mechanism on Kusama. Learn more about how SALP will evolve to full decentralization. Bifrost SALP for the Darwinia Crowdloan had already launched on https://bifrost.app/vcrowdloan. You are welcome to try it.
