ToggleWhat is Kuru?
Kuru is a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Monad blockchain, aiming to provide a professional trading experience like centralized exchanges (CEX), but in a completely decentralized and on-chain manner using the CLOB (Central Limit Order Book) model, allowing users to place buy/sell orders at specific prices. This model helps accurately reflect market supply & demand, minimizes slippage, and optimizes capital efficiency.
By combining a user-friendly design with Monad's high-speed transaction execution capabilities, Kuru aims to become a new generation on-chain liquidity center, where all trading operations occur transparently and seamlessly on the blockchain.
Kuru successfully raised $2 million in a Seed round in July 2024, led by Electric Capital, with participation from CMS Holdings, Brevan Howard Digital, Pivot Global, Breed VC, and Velocity Capital. In July 2025, the project further raised $11.6 million in a Series A round with Paradigm as the lead investor, alongside Electric Capital, Credibly Neutral, Will Price, Tristan Yver, Joe Takayama, and other prominent angel investors. The support from top industry funds further solidifies Kuru's position as a key project in the Monad ecosystem.

Airdrop Evaluation
Kuru is not just a DEX operating fully on-chain with a CLOB order book model, but also one of the first projects in the Monad ecosystem backed by major funds like Paradigm and Electric Capital.
With the opening of the testnet and implementation of gamified interaction activities, Kuru is opening up extremely potential airdrop hunting opportunities for early community participants. Completing all steps such as trading, token creation, liquidity provision, and social media interaction not only helps you better understand the product but also increases your chances of receiving retroactive rewards during the project's TGE. Good luck!
