We believe Crowdloan is the most important moment in the upcoming Kusama Parachain Lease Offering. That’s one of the reasons we have the highest bonus set during this period.

Not only do we want to give the highest bonus for our Crowdloan participants, but we also want to give them something rare, something unique. Our partner Mochi.Market and a new collaboration with RMRK will give our Crowdloan participant that rare, unique NFT.

Note: it’s only possible to claim these NFTs if you join the Crowdloan through wallets that support Crowdloan & Auction, not through exchanges! You can find the full list in our forum:

Mochi.Market

Together with Mochi.Market we are building a launchpad where you can claim your NFT. After participating in the Crowdloan we will provide your whitelisted address to Mochi.Market. With your Kusama address, you can claim your unique NFT. You must claim your NFT with the same address you joined the Crowdloan.

Holding this NFT will show your true support! You will forever be seen as that one participant who joined the first Crowdloan. A true fan of the Plasm Ecosystem. This NFT will gain more power in the future!

How?
Holding this NFT in your wallet during the entire lease period (48 weeks) and you will participate in the second lease Crowdloan & Auction. You would be able to swap this NFT in a new NFT on Mochi’s marketplace. This new NFT can hold extra tokens from partners who already build on Shiden and add a bonus for supporting the second Crowdloan.

Kanaria | RMRK

Kanaria is a fundraiser for the RMRK Association, which distributes unique NFT eggs that will hatch into unique and rare Kanaria birds (canaries) with special upgradable traits.

These birds are meant to be limited-edition NFTs (max 9999) that can evolve with the platforms around them and offer permanent platform benefits to their holders, based on some traits they own. They also entitle their owners to a fairdrop of $RMRK tokens.

Shiden Network and RMRK have collaborated to combine Shiden and Kanaria’s feature set and extend Shiden-bonuses to existing and new Kanaria bird owners. Specifically, anyone participating in Shiden’s Crowdloan will be able to use the same Kusama address to claim a special Kanaria trait — a child NFT that can be equipped onto one’s Kanaria bird and which will give the owner platform bonuses all across our ecosystem.

Note: you need to have claimed an egg on Kanaria for ably to claim this special Kanaria trait. Get your birds now!

Final words

Shiden Network intends to have an NFT-incentivized community contributor program, and the NFTs can add gamification to our ecosystem. Thanks for your support during the Crowdloan campaign, and we will promise everyone that Shiden Network will become the dApps hub on Kusama.
