Throwback: Polkadot's first parachain auction, Nov 2021
Five years ago this week, Polkadot kicked off its very first parachain auction. First of 10, scheduled by community referendum 39, with 9 bidders at the start. $DOT closed that day at $47.44. One week later Acala won the slot, backed by over 81K stakeholders locking DOT, and joined the network in December.
Did you lock DOT in a crowdloan back then?
