🧩 Monad Momentum Project Highlights

From trading, prediction, gaming to AI Agents: the next wave of Builders is gathering on @Monad

When a new chain gains Momentum, the key isn't how much subsidy it offers—but who retains users and truly builds value.

In the first round of Monad Momentum, we've seen a group of such projects:

They don't chase trends or hype through airdrops, but speak through products, speed, and execution.

From DeFi to Prediction, and onto gaming and creator economies, they collectively form the first cohort of Builders in the Monad ecosystem.

💱 DeFi Sector: Infrastructure & Liquidity Flywheels

Kuru @KuruExchange

Kuru is a native central limit order book (CLOB) exchange built on Monad, combining professional-grade features with easy liquidity deployment.

It's one of Monad’s flagship DeFi projects, gaining 120k new followers on X since launch and securing $10M in funding.

How Kuru solves liquidity pain points

• CLOB + AMM hybrid model, making professional liquidity easier to deploy

• V3 liquidity mechanism offering concentrated liquidity for stablecoins and LSTs

• Vaults system + Meme coin trading competitions to boost participation

Why it matters:

Kuru is testing whether high-performance chains can truly support high-frequency, low-latency on-chain trading experiences.

It's one of the best examples of Monad’s “high-performance EVM” vision.

Drake @DrakeExchange

Drake is a fully on-chain perpetual DEX aiming to deliver a CEX-like trading experience.
