Bifrost x Picasso

Composable Finance is creating a cross-chain VM that enables communication and transfers between the Ethereum, Polkadot, and Cosmos ecosystem, with finality rooted to a parachain. Composable Finance is committed to reducing the barriers faced by DeFi creators and users through the use of its products.

Picasso is the Canary Network of Composable Finance, it enables developers to participate in an instantly-available, broad DeFi ecosystem on Kusama. Picasso provides developers access to a maintained parachain that they can build pallets on, avoiding the arduous process of obtaining and maintaining their own parachain.

Picasso will participate in the third batch of Kusama slot auctions as one of the strongest contenders. In an effort to assist in the Picasso Crowdloan, Bifrost will partner with Picasso to offer its SALP protocol. Using the SALP protocol, users will be able to join derivatives mining with vsKSM. This is on top of the $PICA rewards that users receive as part of the Picasso Crowdloan rewards. Once Picasso wins the auction, the vsKSM will be tradable for swap between KSM and other assets effortlessly.

Picasso Crowdloan Rewards

In case of obtaining parachain slot, PICA rewards will be distributed pro rata to their share of the total KSM contributed.

• Bonuses

Referral Program: 20% bonus on PICA earnings if reffered participants contribute at least 100 KSM.

• Vesting

The Crowdloan stakers will earn 50% of their PICA upon TGE, with the remainder being released linearly within 48 weeks.

About Picasso

Our overarching goal is for Picasso to include pallets for all DeFi primitives, as well as those for the secondary and tertiary functionalities that enable DeFi to be valuable to users, and interoperable, so that liquidity fragmentation is solved in the space.
