Understanding Rujira History
Rujira was born from a partnership between Kujira, Levana and THORChain, known as the Rujira Alliance. Kujira, Levana and three Kujira's ecosystem projects are being merged into Rujira, which becomes the App Layer on THORChain, unlocking powerful synergies:
THORChain provides deep liquidity, cross-chain capabilities and security for the App Layer.
Kujira + ecosystem projects and Levana provide a complete suite of DeFi products unified under a single brand and UX.
Core Projects in the Merger
The unified THORChain App Layer will incorporate various teams including Kujira, three Kujira's ecosystem projects (Fuzion, Unstake, Gojira) and 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 deep liquidity and cross-chain capabilities. Together, they are building a decentralized future where financial opportunities are accessible, inclusive, and powered by community-driven innovation.
In the following sections, we will explore the relationship between Rujira and each of those three parties, and how it all tie together into the RUJI tokens, accruing value from the economic activity happening on the App Layer. To get going, dive into:
