DOT Scavenger Hunt (June 1st, 2022)
In this Scavenger Hunt, we explore the Polkadot ecosystem: all the way from setting up one's first Polkadot wallet to diving in to Polkadot's first parachain, Acala. Acala strives to be a DeFi liquidity hub for the Polkadot ecosystem, introducing Polkadot's first multi-collateral stablecoin (aUSD), which is backed by reserve assets (at the moment DOT and LDOT (a liquid staking derivative)). As I had recently purchased DOT and as a result already held some in my existing wallet, I bridged 1 DOT to the Acala chain and then proceeded to swap a small amount of Polkadot (DOT) for the native Acala token (ACA).
