Introduction

Welcome to Rujira—the new frontier in decentralized finance (DeFi)—driven by the partnership between Kujira, Levana and THORChain, known as the Rujira Alliance. This merger makes up a powerful App Layer on THORChain with an integrated suite of DeFi tools and dapps, benefiting from a highly liquid ecosystem with substantial swap volumes.

Rujira Alliance: Kujira x THORChain

Kujira is becoming the App Layer of THORChain, connecting its comprehensive ecosystem of DeFi applications with THORChain’s $250M+ liquidity and cross-chain capabilities. This is referred to as the Rujira Alliance.

This merger unlocks a powerful synergy, enabling projects to tap into THORChain’s liquidity, native token swaps, and interoperability while offering a seamless, user-friendly experience for DeFi users.

Core Projects in the Merger

The unified THORChain App Layer will incorporate various teams including Kujira, Fuzion, Unstake, Gojira & Levana.

These teams will form the backbone of Rujira, focusing on specific verticals within the DeFi ecosystem, ensuring that each product is built by experts.

Following the merger, the Rujira brand will become the official face of the THORChain App Layer, with the core team continuing to build out a world-class suite of DeFi tools. All current protocols on Kujira are encouraged to migrate to the new App Layer to benefit from THORChain’s liquidity and interoperability.

Kujira’s vision of providing sustainable, decentralized financial tools remains intact, but now enhanced with THORChain’s capabilities. This partnership creates new possibilities for DeFi innovation, offering developers and users a unique ecosystem for building and scaling financial applications.

The Rujira merger represents a pivotal moment for both Kujira and THORChain, bringing together the best of both worlds: Kujira’s innovative DeFi solutions and THORChain’s unmatched liquidity and cross-chain capabilities. Together, they are building a decentralized future where financial opportunities are accessible, inclusive, and powered by community-driven innovation.
