Turing Network: Kusama Crowdloan Launch

It is with immense excitement that we here at OAK Network are announcing the launch plans for our Turing Network Crowdloan on Kusama!

The Turing (TUR) Network will launch as OAK’s canary network and marks a crucial step in our journey of building a Web 3.0 hub for automated DeFi and payments. Our team is committed to unlocking event-driven transactions on the blockchain allowing users to create bespoke on-chain automation not possible today.

Turing Network will enable innovative automation functionality for Kusama parachains in a secure, trustless, and scalable manner.

Turing crowdloan

The Turing Network crowdloan will go live in the upcoming parachain auctions on Kusama. The complete Kusama auction schedule and relevant information can be found here. Our community and KSM holders will be able to contribute KSM beginning March 20th UTC time.

Turing Network supporters will receive up to 16% of the TUR tokens from an initial supply of 1 billion. Turing Tokenomics and token research are coming soon on the official OAK Network website.

Ways to Participate

Supporters will be able to contribute to the crowdloan via the Turing Web App using a Polkadot.js wallet and extension to loan their unbonded KSM. Our community Discord hosts relevant resources and guides for how to contribute securely and conveniently.

We are also happy to announce a partnership with Bifrost which will allow contributors to have the additional option of contributing KSM to the Turing Network crowdloan through the Bifrost app. Supporters who use the Bifrost platform will have access to a liquid KSM offering for every contribution. Our website will provide information and resources for teaching users how to contribute with the Bifrost and Turing Network platforms.

What do I do next?

For anyone interested in joining the crowdloan we have resources available to help you learn everything you will need. If you’re new to the Kusama crowdloan process, we recommend checking out our community Discord. We have a channel dedicated for Kusama and Polkadot crowdloan education. We also encourage new community members to interact and say hello. We are constantly working to establish a community where sharing knowledge is valued.

If you are an experienced user and have contributed to Kusama or Polkadot crowdloans before, we recommend checking out our tokenomics resource (coming soon!) which discusses our TUR tokens utility and distribution strategy. You can also visit our OAK developer portal which can help you get familiar with key concepts behind OAK and Turing including the core stack and what’s coming in our product roadmap.

Finally, make sure that you follow our OAK Network team on Twitter, SubSocial and Telegram. We will be sharing frequent updates that will cover everything you will need to know for the crowdloan campaign. We appreciate the continued support from the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystem and look forward to pushing the boundaries of trustless automation.
