MM Incentive Program
past
01 Jun - 24 Aug
Kuru is a fully on-chain central limit order book (CLOB) DEX and trading hub built on Monad. It combines order book efficiency with smart aggregation (Kuru Flow) and aims to become the primary venue for price discovery of MON and other Monad-native assets.
On June 1, 2026, it launched the $1.225M Incentive Program, which targets professional market makers, algo traders, and high-volume participants. It runs for 12 weekly epochs through August 24 2026, distributing $87500 per epoch in MON or USDC for eligible volume and balanced liquidity on key markets (MON/USDC, WETH/USDC, cbBTC/USDC, XAUt0/USDC).
Kuru Exchange - MM Incentive Program Overview
How to join Kuru Exchange - MM Incentive Program?
The Kuru Incentive Program is a 12-week professional trading incentive designed to bootstrap deep order books on Monad. Participants must register in advance on Tally form.
Maker volume earns 2 Volume Points per $1, taker volume earns 1 VP per $1. After market-specific volume thresholds are hit, the remaining epoch budget is distributed pro-rata by Volume Points. Separate depth (liquidity) incentives reward balanced two-sided quoting that meets KPI thresholds (min size, max spread, 90% uptime).
Eligible markets include MON/USDC, WETH/USDC, cbBTC/USDC and XAUt0/USDC. Orders must rest a minimum number of blocks (typically ≥3 for makers), self-matches and vault volume are excluded, and wash trading or gaming leads to disqualification.
The program ends with Epoch 12 on 24 August 2026. Full rules and market parameters are in the official program document. Registration is mandatory via the Tally form, and volume starts counting only from the next checkpoint after signup.
Good Luck! 🍀
