What is Kuma?
Kuma is a high-performance decentralized perpetual swaps exchange built on XCHAIN, a custom Arbitrum Orbit Layer 2 network. It combines an off-chain order book and matching engine with on-chain custody and settlement, delivering the speed and efficiency of centralized exchanges while maintaining the transparency and security of decentralized finance.
Operating on XCHAIN allows Kuma to offer gas-free and near-instant settlement of all transactions. Users can trade with up to 20x leverage, utilizing USDC as collateral, which is bridged into XCHAIN from Berachain via Stargate.
Kuma provides a seamless trading experience with features such as one-click onboarding, intuitive user interface, and a slick mobile experience through Kuma Connect. The platform also supports advanced trading tools, including various order types and time-in-force selections.
For developers and market makers, Kuma offers robust integration options through its API and SDK, enabling lightning-fast automated trading and liquidity provision. The platform's architecture is designed to be fully operational in days instead of weeks, facilitating rapid deployment and integration.
Kuma's hybrid design and high-performance infrastructure position it as a leading solution for traders seeking a decentralized exchange that doesn't compromise on speed, efficiency, or user experience.
