🔸 It seems that @ KuruExchange has gradually secured the position of "Monad Ecological Leader DEX". 🔸 Today it announced the completion of a $11.6 million Series A funding round led by Paradigm. 🔸 In addition, with a seed round financing of $2 million, Kuru should be the dapp with the largest financing amount in the entire Monad ecosystem. 👇 Let's briefly talk about several ways to participate in Kuru. 🤔 How to participate more effectively in Kuru? In my opinion, for Defi protocols like Kuru: In the testing phase, the most effective way to participate is not through interaction, but by finding ways to obtain early contributor roles (such as DC Role/bug feedback/closed testing). In the main network stage, interactions that generate transaction volume and provide liquidity will be more valuable. If Kuru really issues coins, it will also place more emphasis on "users who participate in the mainnet with real money and provide data for Kuru" and "early community users who make valuable contributions". The 'test network interactive users' may have a share, but it is highly unlikely to be too many. 👾 What Kuru DC characters can be obtained? Clobnad: Chat within DC without water. Clobcreator: Create Meme images, videos, and share them on the Contributions channel. Clobster: Discuss Defi, trading, and NFT topics on the Trenches gen channel. Clob Yapper: For Yapper. Clob core: Specific conditions unknown, but for long-term contributors. Clob og: Specific conditions unknown, continuously active and contributing during the testing and main network period. Clobist: The highest level of Role. 🧵 How to participate in Kuru Test Network? To obtain a character, you don't need to rush through interactions, but at least you need to be familiar with the Kuru testnet and how to interact. Kuru has two interaction modes: Lite and Pro. ▪️ Lite is very simple, just connect the wallet and Swap token: https://www. ((((((kuru.io))))))/swap ▪️ Pro mode will have a built-in Kuru wallet, so you need to recharge from your wallet to the Kuru wallet: Click on the top right corner of the interface, copy the Kuru wallet address, and deposit MON test coins here. ▪️ Then you can do swaps of various tokens in the market: https://www.

However, it has been six months since the mainnet and there is still no TGE news due to poor performance of the bear chain mainnet. Kuru is likely to become the leader Dex of Monad, but it will also be affected by the "Monad mainnet activity": If Monad's popularity does not decrease, the return value of Kuru's layout will be very high; On the contrary, if Monad repeats the same mistake as L1, Kuru will also delay issuing coins due to low ecological activity. So essentially, it's still a bet on Monad: Can it continue to attract users after TGE? Will it become a mainstream chain like arb/base/sol/eth? In my personal opinion, although there are many Monad ecosystem projects, there is still a lack of a popular and attractive Killer Dapp to play with.
