## About

Founded in 2023, Kuru Labs is an on-chain order book decentralized exchange (DEX). The company was founded by Vaibhav Prakash. In July 2024, Kuru Labs raised USD 2 million in seed funding led by Electric Capital, Brevan Howard Digital, CMS Holdings, LLC, Pivot, Breed VC, Velocity Capital, and Purple.

Kuru offers a cryptocurrency trading platform that allows users to find and trade their preferred cryptocurrencies using an order book executed entirely on the blockchain. The company’s decentralized exchange (DEX) is built on Monad, a layer-1 blockchain that enables users to discover, analyze, and execute spot trades directly on the blockchain.

The company plans to utilize the funding raised in July 2024 to build the future of finance on-chain.
