❌ KMA HAS NO AIRDROP We are aware that there is a scam circulating that is pretending to be Calamari, and "giving away tokens." We do not have an airdrop campaign. Do not get scammed.

🐬This is a notification for everyone in the community who is testing Dolphin. The faucet is working fine now, it had problems and the team has already fixed them. Users who asked for tokens before, are getting them all. So you don't have to go and ask for tokens again if you have done it before, check your balance first. Thanks for your feedback. The team is working to give you the best experience asap!🚀

What's Up Wednesday - Jun 8 💣 1. Calamari and Moonriver Are Now Connected; Native Token KMA is live on Moonriver.🦑 One of our first XCM Crosschain integrations for asset transactions between both chains. XCM will allow the existence of Moonriver's native $MOVR asset, to become privacy enabled and transfer seamlessly between networks, & Calamari's native token, $KMA, will also exist on Moonriver, where different DeFi opportunities, such as staking, can be leveraged. Bringing users more ways to interact with Calamari across the Kusama network as well as through Ethereum-style addresses and wallets. More integrations with other major chains will be coming, this is just the beginning.... 🦑$KMA token. - KMA is already listed on different major CEX. - KMA is being integrated into Moonriver for usability in different DEX opportunities. - KMA Native swap will come later. In a couple of months we will bring nourishing updates and announce how we are going to evolve Manta Network scope as well. 2. Dolphin TestNet v2.🐬 At the moment we have received more than 120k different wallets participation. It is still going strong, with an overwhelming participation for us.

💣What's Up Wednesday Bites - Jun 01 1. ZK Challenge.💰 After the ZPrize, we also launched the ZKP Summit Challenge, where we received an interesting participation and 4 correct answers. We used a lottery system to choose the winner of the 1ETH prize. Attention participants! We will make the winner official announcement on our Blog. 2. Dolphin v2.🐬 We know that many of you are experiencing some issues to make the test. It happens that we are having a huge unexpected popularity and that is overloading the experience flow. To give you an idea, during almost half a year of Dolphin v1 running, we got 60.000 testnet transactions from over 6.000 wallet addresses. The new Dolphin v2 is less than a week old and we already had almost 100.000 transactions from 16.000 different wallet addresses!!! It's crazy! 🤯 Thank you very much because we already have a lot of valuable feedback but we want to let you know that we are working to expand the processing capacity of our Testnet and we will appreciate everyone's patience until the performance improves. In a way this is a good indicator of the immense need and high interest of users in private transactions. Please do not fail to report any problems you encounter during the user experience as this is what will allow us to deliver the improvements you need. Thank you to all the ambassadors who have supported the community with the testnet! It has been a vital help with the large influx of participants and new friends we have received. 3. Events.📅 We will continue with more in-person presentations, so if you are near any of them, don't hesitate to come by and say hello. We look forward to meeting you in: - Hotsama at Consensus - Polkadot HAckathon series NY. - Polkadot Decoded, we will be present in Berlin and Shanghai 4. Coming Next.🥁 - Some important Dolphin V2 updates - Calamari new parachain lease - MariPay release - Security Audit / Community ZKP Ceremony 5. TJ in house and some of the improvements to come!🚀 Our guest contributor today told us about important improvements that Dolphin v2 will present in its next versions. Some of them will be: - Our wallet in WASM to make everything happen more smoothly, all in one app. - The amount of time transactions take in the pool. - UTXO behavior to optimize Signer performance. - Password recovery to reactivate your account with the seed words, if you lost it. - Significant UI improvements on the the operation progress you perform. 6. KMA on Karura.🦑 We have already announced that $KMA will be onboard the Karura platform. However, details and new possibilities thanks to this collaboration will be announced soon. That's all the news for this week. We look forward to seeing you next Wednesday with more updates for the whole community! Thank you for your enthusiasm for Dolphin v2 and for the trust you place in what the Mantamari team is doing! 🖖

💣What's up Wednesday Bites - May 25 1. 🐬V2 is out! We are very excited about the release of Dolphin v2. If you haven't tried it yet, we invite you to do so. There are many improvements in the product that you will like and we also have incentives to try it out. The activity has been quite strong in the last 24h. We appreciate this massive initial participation with more than 9k transactions atm; 7k have been private transactions and the rest, public transactions between different assets. Due to the large influx of participants, we have had some network congestion which has slowed down the experience for some users. Overall the experience has been quite satisfactory and we have gathered very valuable information that will allow us to further improve our product for you! We have received about 900 feedbacks so far, to which we are paying close attention to implement improvements asap. Anyway, most of the transactions have reported a good overall user experience, about 85% have been quite satisfied so far. For many, using the faucet was quite easy as well. 95% have done so without any inconvenience. For those who have had difficulties, we recommend reading the instructions on how to receive the test tokens in order to test transactions in the Dolphin app. There are some bugs that have been reported and we are working on resolving them as soon as possible. We will soon publish a form for you to submit your comments on possible bugs in the testnet. This is what this Testnet it's all about, so please don't hesitate to let us know about any details you may be experiencing during your experience as a Dolphin v2 tester. Regarding the speed of transaction processing, several users have reported an average duration of 40 seconds before completing the transfer process. We can deduce that this is because, during that time both the zero-knowledge proof generation and the transaction signature on the blockchain are being processed at the same time. The ZKP generation is much faster now but, due to the huge congestion in the network because of the massive simultaneous participation, the signature on the blockchain is taking a little longer than expected. This will be solved with a more homogeneous and natural behavior, apart from the adjustments that may be necessary from our side to optimize the UX. 2. ZPrize competition.💰 We have invited some ZKP connoisseurs and prominent users to solve some ZKP puzzles and give us a reference on the use of this technology in exchange for the prize of 1 ETH. We received an important participation and we will be announcing the winners soon. 3. USA events.🥁 We will be present at several important events in the coming weeks. - Consensus in Texas - Polkadot Decoded we have some good talks to give in NY, Berlin & Sanghai - We will also be at EthCC Paris between July 19 and 20. 4. Collator Program.⚙️ Last week we had Rob, our main program collaborator , and he was talking about the progress, bringing new collators from the community for a total of 17 community collators on board. Everything is running smoothly and correctly in terms of security and robustness of our network.

🐬 Dolphin Testnet v2 Live! After months of development, we're excited to launch Dolphin v2, an incentivized testnet for Manta and Calamari. We welcome all our community to participate.

🐙 Calamari Runtime Upgrade 👩🏻‍💻 v3.1.5.1 ✅ Enabling Cross-chain Transfer 🎙 Discuss Here Hi Mantalorians! As promised, here comes another runtime upgrade for Calamari as the next step in enabling cross chain transfer! This is a runtime only upgrade, so need to update your nodes. Priority: Low. The two main changes included in this runtime upgrade are: Changing the receiving account of XCM fees from the Asset Manager's default account to the Treasury account, which also accrues the native transaction fees. Setting AssetManager's native asset (the KMA native token) configurations, as well as setting the starting id for all the non-native assets. Thank you for your time and voting!
