🎙️What does it take to build a decentralized exchange that trades with the speed of a CEX, but the fairness of DeFi?In this episode, Rohan, co-founder of Kuru, breaks down how his team is designing one of the first fully onchain orderbook DEXs on Monad — and why this chain’s unique performance opens up a new design space for trading.Kuru’s mission is clear: create a trading venue that is capital efficient, MEV-resistant, and user-friendly. They’re introducing concentrated liquidity and cross-margining so liquidity providers can put their capital to work more effectively while traders benefit from tighter spreads and deeper books.But they’re not stopping at the orderbook. With the launch of their aggregator, Kuru is building the connective tissue for Monad’s DeFi stack — routing trades across multiple venues, reducing fragmentation, and moving toward becoming the true liquidity hub of the ecosystem.Kuru also collaborates with FastLane to tackle one of DeFi’s thorniest issues: MEV protection. By aligning validators with traders and designing orderflow that minimizes predatory extraction, they’re creating a trading environment where fairness is built in, not bolted on. Add to this their work on slippage controls, low-latency execution, and composability with other Monad dApps, and you get a vision for DeFi markets that are faster, smoother, and more accessible than ever.This conversation isn’t just about building an orderbook. It’s about how Kuru is re-engineering market structure, incentives, and user experience — and why they believe Monad is the perfect foundation for the next generation of onchain trading.Follow Us:Host:Alex Watts,Founder&CEO at FastLane Labs; Twitter: @ThogardPvP https://x.com/ThogardPvPGuest:Rohan Shrothrium Co-founder of @KuruExchange X handle: @0xtrojan_
