1/ $KSM $DOT Parachain Projects

Why are projects such as $MOVR/$GLMR & $AIR/$CFG trying to secure both a parachain slot on $KSM & $DOT?

And why not just one?

So you invest in both or just one?

Let's have a look ⬇️

$DOT $KSM $MOVR $AIR $CFG $GLMR #Kusama #Polkadot #substrate

2/ First let's look at $KSM / $DOT design

$KSM & $DOT are NEARLY identical in design

$DOT is more stable & secure, while $KSM's key benefits are

➤ Gain valuable feedback
➤ Make on-the-fly governance decisions
➤ Quick implementation of new innovations

Full list below

3/ $KSM is called many different things; $DOT's brother, wild cousin, whatever, it does not matter

Just know that $KSM is an experimental network for $DOT. This means that code (new updates & innovations) will be run on $KSM first

4/ It is important to clarify that $KSM is a fully functional, robust animal & is taking a whole life of its own

As per Parity, "over time the networks will evolve independently, converging or diverging according to the decisions of their respective communities"

Expect Chaos 💥

5/ But why do projects, e.g., $MOVR/$GLMR & $AIR/$CFG deploy on both $KSM and $DOT?

Basically, they FOLLOW THE SAME DESIGN as $KSM & $DOT

Take, $AIR ($KSM) & $CFG (planning $DOT) for example

$CFGs plan is to make a wide variety of RWAs available to use as collateral

6/ These Real-World Assets (RWAs) (e.g., rare NFT's) will experiment on $KSM first - that's why $AIR ($CFGs "brother") was formed

Once everything on $AIR (on $KSM) is running smoothly, then they can also deploy these new RWAs on $CFG (on $DOT)

7/ $MOVR ($KSM) and $GLMR ($DOT) is the same thing

$MOVR will test out any new coding (updates, new innovations) or even projects on $MOVR first. Then they will be in a better, safer position to deploy these changes on $GLMR (on $DOT) afterward

8/ It is up to people's own preference if they prefer $KSM over $DOT or vice versa

I love $KSM more because it is "wilder" than $DOT. It endures all the risk for $DOT & it will see new updates and innovations before $DOT

9/ The same applies for all projects building on $KSM $DOT too, eg. $MOVR/$GLMR & $AIR/$CFG

Both $MOVR and $GLMR will have their qualities just like the same architectural design principle of $KSM $DOT

This also goes for any projects that are planning to deploy on $KSM and $DOT

10/ So do you buy one or both, #KSM & $DOT, $MOVR & $GLMR, etc

Its totally up to yourself based on your own preference

They both have their unique advantages & based on Parity, they will both evolve independently, so who knows what is going to happen!

Hopefully this helped 💪
