Mandala Festival Prize Drops 🎉

by Acala Network

Acala’s Mandala Test Network was live on 17th Feb and upgraded to Mandala TC-2 yesterday. We will host a Mandala Festival to celebrate and reward supporters and festival-goers.

The Mandala Festival will start on 6th March (GMT+12), and give out approx. 100,000 ACA & 5,000,000 KAR (Karura Canary Network token) to festival-goers and contributors.

The Acala network tokens — ACA will be minted in full on genesis with a fixed supply of 100,000,000. A portion of the ecosystem allocation will be deployed to support this festival 🎉 Upon Mandala TC-2, the airdrop module will record two new balances: ACA and KAR*, which can be used to claim the prize tokens on Karura Canary network and Acala mainnet.
