# Overview

[**Kuru**](https://kuru.io/) 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](https://blog.kuru.io/p/kuru-labs-raises-116m-led-by-paradigm?utm_campaign=post\&utm_medium=web), with participation from Electric Capital.
