If you would like to know more about the rewards we have lined up for you when you contribute to the SherpaX Crowdloan, check the article below 👇

Note: You will still receive your referral bonus if you first contributed your KSM and then signed up!

Referral bonus

Step 1: Registration — Navigate to https://ksmslot-pre.chainx.cc/ and fill in your KSM address. You can either use the Polkadot{.js} extension or manually fill in your KSM address.
Optional: If you add a referrer’s unique code, both of you get 5% extra KSX!

Step 2: Your referral code — After you’ve signed up, you will receive your own unique referral code and link. You can share these with your friends to give them a 5% KSX Bonus too!

Contribute KSM to the SherpaX Crowdloan

Step 1: Navigate to https://polkadot.js.org/apps/#/parachains/crowdloan, lock your KSM in the SherpaX Crowdloan by clicking ‘Contribute’ on the far right. Make sure you click ‘Contribute’ on the right Parachain ID 2013.

Step 2: Select the correct account, fill in the amount you’d like to lock for 48 weeks and support the SherpaX Crowdloan with, then click ‘Contribute’.

Step 3: Click ‘Sign and Submit’, enter your password and submit. When successful, there will be a green notification in the top right of your screen.
