What is Karura?

Karura is the all-in-one DeFi hub of Kusama.

Founded by the Acala Foundation, Karura is a scalable, EVM-compatible network
optimized for DeFi. The platform offers a suite of financial applications
including: a trustless liquid staking token protocol (liquid KSM), an AMM DEX
and an app platform that is EVM-compatible and highly customizable (based on
Substrate) – all with micro gas fees that can be paid in any token.

Why build on Kusama?

Kusama is Polkadot’s faster, wilder cousin – a multi-chain network for radical
innovation.

Kusama and Polkadot are independent, standalone networks built in nearly the
exact same way, but Kusama has faster governance parameters and higher risk
tolerance.

By launching on Kusama, Karura can push the limits of what’s possible, giving
the Acala Foundation team a place to launch bold new financial innovations.
Karura will access Kusama’s plug-and-play security while enjoying high-capacity
processing speeds, micro-gas fees, and interoperability between multiple
networks, all ultimately bridged to Polkadot.

Karura will deliver decentralized financial products and stable assets to
Kusama’s entire ecosystem of networks.



Stay liquid while staking.

Perform instant cross-chain swaps.

Grow with aSEED.

Liquid KSM Staking

Swap

aseed

Stake your KSM for LKSM to earn rewards without sacrificing liquidity. LKSM is
unlocked and ready to trade, take out collateralized loans, and provide
liquidity for additional yield.

Stake any amount of KSM and unstake without the wait.
Trade with Karura’s trustless, cross-chain exchange, powered by an automated
liquidity provisioning protocol.

Become a liquidity provider and earn in two ways: exchange fees from Karura Swap
and stability fee profit sharing from the aseed protocol.
The Karura Dollar is now evolved to become aSEED to provide a pathforward for
aUSD with options to exit existing holdings/vaults or to participate in Acala’s
future growth.

Pay a fraction of the gas in any token.

Micro gas fees



Karura settles transactions for a fraction of the gas required on other
networks.

Thanks to Kusama’s weight-based fee model, you can count on micro gas fees that
vary only slightly by transaction complexity.

Accepted in any token



Pay your gas with virtually any token.

With Karura’s flexible fee tokens, you can settle transactions with KAR, KSM,
LKSM, BTC ETH, and more.

KAR - Powering Karura

KAR is the utility token that powers the DeFi hub of Kusama.

Staking

Stake KAR to participate. Ecosystem token contributions and KAR are farmable via
staked KAR.

Incentive Distribution

Vote for token distribution for liquidity pools, dApps and other initiatives
that support liquidity growth.

Governance

Empowers the community to vote, elect council members, and drive the development
of Karura.

Transaction Fees

Powers the micro gas fees and smart contract execution.

Securing Kaura

A portion of staked KAR can be used as a mitigation tool in case of a shortfall
event within the protocols that are native to KAR.

KAR TOKEN DETAILS

Karura’s sister network, Acala, the DeFi Hub of Polkadot.

Acala and Karura will operate in parallel and serve the users of the Polkadot
and Kusama communities. Once Kusama is bridged to Polkadot, Karura and Acala
will also be fully interoperable.
