The following article explains how contributors to the original Turing Network crowdloan on Kusama can reclaim their locked KSM tokens.

Direct Contributors

It has been officially 48 weeks (one lease period) since our successful Turing Network Crowdloan on Kusama! Our team at OAK Network is incredibly proud of the progress that our network and our community has made in this time.

If you contributed $KSM to our crowdloan in 2022 you will now be able to receive your KSM back to your contributing wallet. If you contributed directly to the crowdloan through the Turing Web App, your tokens will have automatically been returned to your wallet. If you are unsure if you contributed directly, you can check by using the link below and entering your Kusama wallet address.

Any users who contributed directly through the Polkadot.js crowdloan tab will also have automatically received their KSM tokens back to their contributing wallet. You can see a comprehensive list of all returned KSM to contributors through Subscan and the link below.

Bifrost SALP Contributors

Users who contributed to the Turing Crowdloan using Bifrost to receive liquid derivatives are also available to redeem their KSM tokens. Our friends at Bifrost have put together this tutorial video for redeeming vsKSM and minting vKSM.

Turing Network Token Distribution

Contributors to the Turing Crowdloan will also receive their fourth and final token distribution rewards on April 4th 2023. If you have any questions about your token distribution rewards we recommend reaching out to our team on our community Discord.

While this is our final Turing Crowdloan reward distribution, users of the Turing Network will not experience any changes to the network as our team has already secured a second lease period by winning Kusama auction number 69. You an learn more about that in the link below.
