Kraken Bitcoin Exchange published this video item, entitled “Parachain Auctions Podcast: Parallel’s Zigzag Path to Slot Ten Win” – below is their description.
Parallel’s Kusama project Heiko is the centre of attention in this episode where Brian has back-to-back interviews discussing Parallel’s vision for the project, followed by an exclusive winner interview.
During part 1 we learn about Parrallel’s founder Yubo Ruan, and his journey from high school dropout to successful tech entrepreneur. Join us as we get into the wild ride it has been for the team and the disappointing auction miss caused by that pesky 17th Century candle auction system. : )
Be sure to stick around for the exclusive winner’s interview as well, where Yubo comes back to discuss the team’s excitement, gratitude, and lowered stress levels after nabbing the tenth Kusama parachain slot.
Part 1 Recorded October 1, 2021 and Part 2 on October 6, 2021

🤔 What are Parachains? 🤔
Parachains are custom blockchains that are integrated within the Kusama network. They can be customized for any number of use cases and feed into the main blockchain and heart of its network, called the Relay Chain, thus benefiting from Kusama’s network security.
📚 Parachain slot auctions take advantage of Polkadot and Kusama’s ability to give developers ways to create new crypto assets and decentralized applications (dapps) on top of its blockchain.
📝 Importantly, only 100 parachain slots are expected to be available, a number that is flexible and subject to change by governance vote over time. To claim one of these slots, the parachain projects have to win a parachain slot auction.
📷 For Kusama auctions, the project with the most KSM bonded to support its bid, at the time the auction snapshot is taken, will generally be able to claim the auctioned parachain slot.
📣 Projects may, in their discretion, give rewards to contributors who support their winning bid.
📌 If the auction is lost, the KSM bonded by contributors may be re-claimed at the end of that project’s specified campaign duration, which may last for one or more auctions.
