Table of Contents
We are thrilled to announce that we are hosting a deposit and trading competition to support our latest listing Kusama (KSM), starting 5th of April, 2021!

What is Kusama?
Kusama is a next-generation sharded blockchain network. Initially planned as a network focused on research and development, Kusama is a standalone chain built with a similar codebase to Polkadot but with its own community of blockchain builders.
While Polkadot will be completely focused on parachain security and reliability, Kusama has a focus on experimentation.
