Why Acala is my biggest best bet for Parachains Auction on Polkadot

First of all, I would like to say that we have no partnership with Acala.

I studied all the Parachain Candidates even before Parachain

Slot Auctions started on Kusama, last semester.

And here are the main reasons why I'm so bullish on Acala:

1) DeFi

Last year, I saw DeFi being born in Ethereum and Uniswap.

I was amazed!

IMHO, DeFi is the most trivial application for crypto, and it will disrupt the traditional financial system.

And I'm not talking only about cryptocurrencies.

Traditional assets like Gold, Stocks and Real State are being tokenized, and in the future, most of the transactions will occur on blockchains.

Since Acala is "THE" DeFi for Polkadot Ecosystem, for me it's a clear bet for the long term.

2) Karura

Karura is a project from the same team as ACALA, but implemented on Kusama (Polkadot's canary network).

Last semester, I betted that Karura (Kusama's DeFi), would win the first Auction.

And, oh boy, I was right!

They indeed won the first parachain Auction on Kusama, and with a HUGE difference!

I expect the same will occur to Acala on Polkadot's Parachain Auctions.

Best way to contribute to Acala's Crowdloan

There are many ways to contribute to Crowdloan.

This is a Step-by-Step guide on participating via Project's website, which will give the higher rewards + bonus.

Also, there were more rewards for those who contributed in the first days on Karura, so the same could happen on Acala.
