⛔ READ THIS FIRST!

With the introduction of Agile Coretime on Polkadot and Kusama, crowdloans have been deprecated.

The funds used to participate in previous crowdloans will remain locked until the corresponding slot lease expires, but there will no longer be any slot auctions or crowdloans in the future.

This article is temporarily available for reference.
