what's rujira?
Rujira is a unified omnichain DeFi ecosystem designed for humans and machines, enabling seamless trading and borrowing of native assets like BTC, ETH, and SOL with a CEX-like experience that is fully on-chain and open-source. It includes RUJI Trade, an orderbook DEX for advanced trading features such as recurring orders and DCA tools. The project offers a BTC-backed stablecoin and a comprehensive DeFi suite, aiming to provide infrastructure for economic freedom. Built on THORChain, Rujira supports staking of its native token RUJI to earn rewards from protocol fees.
Rujira's Concentrated Liquidity testing shows 3000x+ wBTC/BTC spread improvement.
