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.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% 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/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. 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.
