A tip From PolkaWorld
In the process of sorting out the information, we found that compared with Kusama Auction, many project teams have provided various rewards in Polkadot Auction, and some teams have also specially introduced liquidity release solutions, which also make the reward rules and gameplay become more interesting (and complex). So if you want to maximize your participation rewards, you have to put some effort to understand the reward rules of each project. You can check the “more details” links at the end of each introduction.
