## About

Based in Singapore, Kuru Labs Pte. Ltd., dba Kuru, operates as a B2B decentralized finance infrastructure developer. The company provides an on-chain orderbook exchange, liquidity provisioning tools, token launch capabilities, and digital asset trading infrastructure built on Monad.

Based in Singapore and founded in 2024, Kuru Labs Pte. Ltd. provides decentralized exchange and liquidity infrastructure solutions for the blockchain and digital asset industry. The company is building a fully on-chain central limit order book (CLOB) exchange on the Ethereum-compatible Monad blockchain. Kuru raised a USD 2 million seed round in July 2024 led by Electric Capital, supporting early platform development. In July 2025, the company secured USD 11.6 million in Series A funding led by Paradigm to accelerate growth. The company was founded by  Vaibhav Prakash and Rohan Shrothrium.

Kuru Exchange operates as a pivotal trading hub for Monad, providing a suite of innovative products and services designed to facilitate efficient trading and exchange within the digital asset market. The primary offerings include a robust trading platform that enables users to buy, sell, and exchange various digital currencies, alongside advanced analytics tools that assist traders in making informed decisions. Kuru Exchange aims to address the complexities and inefficiencies often associated with traditional trading systems, thus catering to both seasoned traders and newcomers in the digital asset space. Their clientele spans a diverse range of users, including institutional investors, retail traders, and emerging tech companies, primarily within North America, Europe, and select markets in Asia. This strategic positioning allows Kuru Exchange to serve a global audience while providing tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of its varied customer base.

Kuru Exchange generates revenue through a structured fee model tied to its core trading services. The transactions typically involve a commission fee charged to clients for each trade executed on their platform, ensuring a consistent revenue stream aligned with trading activity. Additionally, the company may engage in partnerships with financial institutions and technology firms, facilitating access to their trading infrastructure in exchange for a partnership fee. The pricing structure is designed to accommodate various user needs, potentially including tiered fees based on transaction volume or premium memberships that offer enhanced features. Notably, flagship products may include advanced trading algorithms and market insights tools, each contributing to the overall financial ecosystem that Kuru Exchange has cultivated. The combination of these revenue channels reinforces the company's position in the digital asset market.

The company will use the July 2025  funding to scale its team and develop the technology required to launch and operate a decentralized exchange on the Ethereum-compatible Monad blockchain, including building an on-chain orderbook and liquidity infrastructure.
