How to Contribute (NOTE: these will be live once the crowdloan is opened)
There are several different ways to contribute to the Altair Crowdloan, and KSM holders can choose their preferred option!
Option 1: Contribute directly on the Altair website!
https://centrifuge.io/altair/crowdloan
Option 2: Contribute directly on Kusama
KSM holders can contribute directly to the Altair crowdloan through the Kusama portal.
Please note for options 1 and 2 you can not contribute using a proxy or multisig
Option 3: Contribute through an exchange
Altair has partnered with 3 leading exchanges: OKex , Kraken, and Kucoin to allow their users to contribute directly to our crowdloan. If you have an account on one of these exchanges, then you can securely participate in the crowdloan once it’s launched.
For every KSM that is contributed to the Altair crowdloan and locked for 48 weeks to secure the Altair parachain slot, 400 AIR will be rewarded.
AIR can either be claimed through the chosen exchange (if you participate through Option 3) or directly on-chain on Altair (Option 1 + 2).

AIR Token Distribution
To distribute the AIR token, the Altair network will take a snapshot of the balances on Centrifuge chain to distribute AIR tokens to CFG token holders, 1 AIR : 1 CFG. In addition, AIR will be distributed to crowdloan participants up to a maximum of 18% of the supply.* 25% of rewards to crowdloan participants will be liquid and the remaining will vest over the length of the parachain slot (48 weeks).
Altair and Art: financing the JPEG revolution
Altair is the home for financing asseets on Kusama. Altair combines the industry-leading infrastructure built by Centrifuge to finance real-world assets (RWA) on Centrifuge Chain, with the newest experimental features — before they go live on Centrifuge Chain. It is the network for users who want to test the bounds of asset financing.
Want to get liquidity from your Cryptopunks? Altair’s flexible asset financing structure can help issuers finance experimental assets like Cryptopounks (or Kusama punks 😉) and other art NFTs and undiscovered assets.
Altair is built for risk-takers and innovators who dare to push the limits of DeFi: powered by the AIR token.
