Introduction to KUSAMA - Presented by Dan Reecer

Join Dan Reecer - VP of Growth at Acala and Kurura as our guest presenter as he introduces Kusama. Kusama is a public pre-production environment for Polkadot, one that allows any developer to experiment and test new blockchains or applications before releasing them on this network. In this way, it can be said Kusama acts as a kind of sandbox for developers looking to test early versions of Polkadot projects, but with real cryptocurrency traded on an open market.
