Bifrost SALP Supports Amplitude Kusama Crowdloan

In June 2022, Bifrost announced its support for Amplitude on Kusama Crowdloan. Amplitude will launch as a canary network of its sister blockchain, Pendulum. It will act as a testing ground for applications and network parameters for Pendulum. Unlike in a traditional testnet, in this one, users can interact on the Amplitude chain with real financial consequences.

In this integration, Bifrost will cooperate with Amplitude to help their Crowdloan participants access liquid derivatives of staked KSM, creating innovative solutions for users participating in the Kusama Crowdloan and competitive opportunities under the multichain development pattern.

The Amplitude team & its aspiring developers can test changes on Amplitude through forkless runtime upgrades before any possibility of deploying them directly on the Amplitude Parachain. This way, Kusama can provide an experimental proving ground and a “first-to-market” experience that helps reinforce the security and “best-to-market” environment found on the Polkadot Network. It also allows Amplitude to act as a proving ground to the broader community before seeking a full launch on the Pendulum Polkadot parachain.

Bifrost’s advantage is to mint fully decentralized liquid derivatives based on the Kusama parachain. Support for the Amplitude Crowdloan will help Bifrost unlock a new opportunity with the Amplitude community to introduce the Slot Auction Liquidity Protocol (SALP) and encourage more users to participate in the Amplitude Crowdloan.

Bifrost uses a combination of Polkadot multi-signature + Kusama Parachain for the SALP. This innovative Crowdloan liquidity solution will allow users to increase capital utilization during the 48-week Crowdloan lock-up period and decide their risk appetite. Amplitude will assist Bifrost, provide technical support in the Crowdloan docking process, and promote long-term cooperation between Bifrost and Amplitude.

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 the 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 now supports Amplitude Crowdloan. We welcome developers and users to contribute to Amplitude Crowdloan and use the derivatives assets.

What is Bifrost

Bifrost is a web3 derivatives protocol that provides decentralized cross-chain liquidity for staked assets. By leveraging the cross-consensus message (XCM) it can supply cross-chain liquid staking services for multiple chains.

Bifrost’s mission is to provide standardized cross-chain interest-bearing derivatives for Polkadot relay chains, parachains, and heterogeneous chains bridged with Polkadot. Furthermore, by aggregating over 80% of PoS consensus chains’ staking liquidity through cross-chain derivatives, our protocol lowers users’ staking threshold, increases the multi-chain staking ratio, and improves the application of the ecosystem interest base by creating a three-way positive cycle for the StakeFi ecosystem by empowering users, multi-chains, and ecosystem applications.

Bifrost has raised over USD 2M from top-tier venture capital firms by the likes of NGC, SNZ, DFG, CMS, and other institutions. In addition to being an early receiver of a Web3 Foundation Grant, Bifrost is also a member of the Substrate Builders Program and the Web3 Bootcamp.
