Kuru

Kuru is a fully on-chain central limit order book (CLOB) decentralized exchange and smart routing aggregator built on Monad, operated by Kuru Labs. It combines an on-chain order book with AMM vault liquidity to deliver low-slippage, self-custody trading, and exposes the Kuru Flow API — a liquidity-aggregating routing engine that lets wallets, dApps and aggregators quote and build any-token-to-any-token swaps across every market on Monad, optionally appending their own referrer fee. Developers integrate through a TypeScript SDK, a Python CLOB SDK for market making, published and audited Solidity contracts, and a first-party agent skill for automated trading.

Kuru publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: Generate Token API and Quote API. Tagged areas include Company, DeFi, Decentralized Exchange, Order Book, and Trading.

Kuru’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, CLI, and 21 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Securities & Market Data regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/kuru: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
