Overview

Kuru is a fully onchain order book decentralized exchange (DEX) and smart aggregator built on Monad. Kuru is dedicated to building the trading hub for Monad, allowing users to access all of Monad’s liquidity with our smart aggregator, Kuru Flow, and bringing a performant central-limit orderbook to the EVM for the first time along with integrated discovery features, a trading terminal, user liquidity provision, and token launchpad. Powered by Monad’s globally decentralized network, Kuru unifies liquidity across the ecosystem with our hybrid integrated CLOB-AMM model that preserves composability and democratizes access to liquidity provisioning. We are closing the gap between decentralized and centralized exchanges by providing low slippage, self-custody, and composability, all-in-one. Kuru’s contracts have been optimized for the EVM and designed for market makers allowing them to place/cancel limit orders at a low, constant gas cost. This leads to tighter spreads and more liquidity on the order books for users. The team raised $11.6 million led by Paradigm, with participation from Electric Capital.
