Introduction to Kuma

Kuma is a high-performance decentralized perpetual swaps exchange. Kuma's hybrid design combines an off-chain order book, matching and liquidation engine with on-chain custody and settlement. This approach combines the speed and efficiency of traditional trading systems with the transparency and security of blockchain technology to create an unparalleled trading experience.

Kuma operates on XCHAIN, an Kuma specific Arbitrum Orbit layer 2. XCHAIN's performance support gas free and nearly instant settlement of all Kuma transactions. Positions on Kuma are collateralized by USDC bridged into XCHAIN from Berachain via Stargate .

Kuma is built for all traders, providing instant execution, millisecond latency, and gas-free settlement, while allowing users to maintain full control and custody of funds.
