PolkaFoundry's $PKF Token Distribution For Seed & Private Rounds Investors 🔥

All great effort is paid off well. Now it is time to claim your shares at https://distro.polkafoundry.com/

Read the detailed guide here: https://forum.polkafoundry.com/t/polkafoundrys-pkf-token-distribution-for-seed-private-rounds-investors/127

PKF tokens are released linearly every Ethereum block so basically, you can claim your tokens anytime✨
No longer rolling out monthly token release events.

The first distribution at the time of the listing is not shown in the distro page.

We're excited to announce the Polkadot Blockchain Development Association (PBDA) along with Rikkeisoft, Ekoios, & Sota Tek as founding members along with +2k devs 🙌🎆

The PBDA will invest in R&D for large, high-quality dev resources specializing in building decentralized apps in the $PKF ecosystem 🌏

According to the memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed last week, all four companies will contribute both human and technical resources to find, train, and build a team of high-quality developers🤘

⚡️The team will actively work as a part of the developer hub for new blockchain projects being created in the Polkadot ecosystem as a whole or in the PolkaFoundry platform specifically.

PolkaFoundry, Rikkeisoft, Sota Tek, and Ekoios have agreed to form a team of at least 50 qualified developers (during Q2/2021), who will be trained by professionals and technical experts from each of the four companies. 🤓

The PBDA is an exciting step towards growing a robust and effective blockchain ecosystem & we couldn't be more excited to see where this takes us! ✨

The cutting-edge PolkaFoundry's Red Kite launchpad is all set to take the DeFi space on fire 🔥🔥

🔒 PolkaRare is a web3 economy that allows any user or a brand to create, trade and discover NFTs. PolkaRare provides a suite of tools to unlock the full potential of NFTs through commerce and trading markets.
