Oku
Oku is a DEX trading platform and bridge aggregator with the best rates onchain
About
At Oku, we aim to close the gap between the CeFi and DeFi trading experiences. It is no mistake that 95% of crypto trading occurs on centralized platforms like Binance and Coinbase since their organizations have spent substantially more time and resources investing in their trading interface, while DeFi has primarily been focused at the infrastructure and protocol level for the last several years.
However, that is going to change soon. While CeFi organizations enjoy their web2 stack, a web3 company like Oku can leverage the composability of the DeFi ecosystem and blockchain technology to offer a high-quality trading experience that will eventually be indistinguishable from CeFi and, in the long run, overcome their legacy systems. That is why Oku has 40+ partners in or supporting the app.
Oku initially started as a project within GFX Labs after they received a $1.6M grant from the Uniswap Foundation in October 2022 to build and launch a reimagined trading interface, analytics platforming, and API for Uniswap v3. After ten months of development, Oku launched in July 2023, and since then, Oku has supported the DAO Uniswap’s efforts to expand across new blockchains.
Today, our primary feature is our smart order routing system, which integrates 8+ order routing systems to ensure all users find the best price possible. We have also adapted our order routing technology to offer a bridge aggregator with 11+ integrated bridges. Most recently, to close the CeFi/DeFi gap further, we added on/off-ramping with USD and EURO to our interface at an industry-low fee of 0.25%. Our other popular features include trustless onchain limit orders built directly on Uniswap v3, our position maker page for users who want to manage their LP positions, and our Uniswap v3 analytics.
Over the coming years, Oku will be expanding the scope of our offering and improving the quality of our user experience.
