According to Polkadot.js, Integritee collected 20,000 $KSM in its crowdloan and reached its hard cap. The backer of the network will receive a fixed amount of TEER, the native coin of Integritee, for each KSM they contributed to Integritee crowdloan. According to a blog post, backers of the Integritee Network will receive 40 TEER for every KSM bonded.
The 21st Kusama parachain auction was the first auction of fifth-round Kusama parachain auctions. Integritee will now be connected to the Kusama Relay Chain at the start of lease 19 along with the winners of the next 4 auctions, from February 21, 2022, to January 30, 2023.
The 22nd parachain auction has also commenced that will end on January 23rd. Two parachains, Pichiu and Darwinia Crab are competing to win the 24th parachain slot. The Darwinia Crab network is the clear favorite for this round.
The 4th round of 5 Kusama parachain auctions ended on January 5. The 5 auction-winning parachains and a common-good parachain Encointer were connected to their slot on January 10th, at the start of lease 18, for the period January 11, 2022, to December 20, 2022.
