Introduction

The SALP function is gradually being launched. It was upgraded through Runtime v0.9.0 in the referendum on 9/13, and SALP’s vsKSM & vsBond casting function was turned on. At the same time, Zenlink Slot Vault has also successfully connected to SALP, and the Zenlink Slot Vault uses SALP for slot bidding. Participating in Basilisk (closed), Calamari (closed) Altair and Kintsugi, not only can get slot auction rewards and corresponding derivatives vsKSM, vsBond, but also ZLK as an additional incentive. Acquired So far, more than 7,600 KSM have participated in the slot auction through SALP. With the improvement of SALP’s farming and trading functions, more assets will be derived through SALP.

Ecosystem

• On September 13, the article SALP: Derivatives Opens a New Era of Parachain Auctions was published. The article deeply analyzed the operating principles and mechanisms of SALP, and at the same time analyzed vsKSM and vsBond based on SALP Crowdloan. Currently, SALP is online and is supporting the Kusama parachain auction of Altair and Kintsugi. Voting channel: https://bifrost.app/vcrowdloan

• On September 16, the Bifrost slot liquidity agreement SALP was officially launched. On the day of the launch, it simultaneously supported Basilisk, Altair and Kintsugi slot auctions. Users who vote and stake for the above four projects through SALP will correspond to the casting derivatives vsKSM and vsBond, unlocking the liquidity of the staking.

• On 17 September, Bifrost and Kintsugi (Interlay) announced a partnership to use SALP to facilitate Kintsugi’s second round of Kusama slot bidding, with Kintsugi (Interlay) registering Bifrost SALP to unlock slot bidding liquidity.

• On 17 September, the Bifrost SALP protocol was integrated with the Zenlink SlotVault Dapp to provide users with the option to unlock liquidity in their crowdsourced stakes. Users can vote for Altair and Kintsugi crowdsourced loans through the ‘Advanced mode’ option in Zenlink SlotVault. This mode, integrated with SALP, casts vsKSM and vsBond derivatives (1 KSM = 1 vsKSM + 1 vsBond) to unlock staked liquidity while voting.
