Don't panic! Here is the Polkadot Crowdloan strategic discussion

Yes, but we don’t know when Parathreads will come. It will come in 10 months since the first batch of Kusama parachains will end running in 10 months.

How will I get the NFT REWARD For participation in the PARACHAIN auction 12-18 if I CONTRIBUTED Via kraken, Kucoin etc.??!?

Hi @Real_DPR ,the NFT WHITELIST(not NFT) rewards can be got only in the decentralized way, we can’t target your account through CEX’s contribution.
