Our team at OAK Network is happy to announce that we have won the 69th (nice) parachain auction on Kusama to extend the lease period for our canary network Turing for a second year!

Introduction

The Turing Network has made great progress since winning our first Kusama parachain crowdloan auction in March 2022 and our team is looking forward to rolling out more automation functionality for the Turing Network in 2023.

OAK Network self-funded the bid on Kusama auction number 69 so that we could ensure the renewal of our parachain lease and make sure there would be no downtime for our Turing Network to enable a smooth transition for the network as it enters the second year of operation.

If you are interested in the Turing Network and acquiring $TUR tokens be sure to head to the MangataX DEX. Mangata remains one of OAK Network’s closest parachain partners and our communities can expect a variety of new features to be available using our chains in the near future!

Turing Network First Year Rewards

The Turing Network has seen amazing support from our community and the Kusama and Polkadot ecosystem. We are happy to have over 31 million $TUR tokens staked on-chain and over 15 million $TUR issued as rewards over almost 2 million validated blocks.

Insights thanks to our partners Web3go.xyz

Our $TUR:$MGX liquidity pool on MangataX is also continuing to perform well and liquidity providers are seeing significant rewards. Our friends at Yieldbay have a breakdown of liquidity pairs across the Kusama and Polkadot ecosystems which ranks the $TUR:$MGX as one of the most lucrative pairs.
