KAR

Karura was founded by the same team that is behind the Acala Network: Ruitao Su, Bette Chen and Bryan Chen.

Ruitao Su is a co-founder of Acala and current CEO of Laminar Protocol. Prior to that, he was the CTO of Centrality. Su is an award-winning software engineer, entrepreneur, investor and advisor to tech companies and startups.

Bette Chen is a co-founder at Acala Network and the COO at Laminar. She is an experienced product manager and entrepreneur. Chen holds academic degrees in software engineering and business (MBA). She has 10 years of experience managing products in the fields of software and high technologies.

Bryan Chen is another co-founder at Acala Network. He is also a co-founder and CTO of Laminar. Chen is a major contributor to the Substrate codebase and a Polkadot Ambassador.

All developments and technological updates made by the Acala team will always be delivered to Karura before any other Polkadot platforms. Thus, Karura users will be among the first to take advantage of the latest DeFi technologies.

Karura offers a stablecoin — Karura Dollar (kUSD), which maintains a 1:1 peg to the value of the U.S. dollar. This removes the need to send KSM tokens to Binance because users can safely swap KSM to a stablecoin (or to other assets such as Bitcoin).

Karura also provides a liquidity protocol for KSM tokens if you don't want to participate in auctions, but still aim to receive staking rewards. However, users will have to wait seven days to unfreeze the tokens. Users can leverage the liquidity protocol and swap KSM to LKSM; this token will include the annual percentage yield that you receive, and, most importantly, it will be liquid, making the staking itself liquid.

Karura has a wallet that supports different coins. The platform also supports non-fungible tokens (NFTs), integrated bridges (renBTC, polkaBTC), the ability to borrow and various oracles.

One of the main advantages Karura offers is the ability to execute hundreds of DeFi strategies without leaving the platform. Users can use cross-chain tokens (like BTC or ETH) to issue a self-service loan in kUSD. They can also earn fees by providing liquidity to the Karura DEX. Furthermore, users will receive rewards and benefits with an unlocked and liquid KSM staking derivative by simply maintaining liquidity while staking.

To sum up, the Karura DeFi Hub on Kusama offers liquid KSM (LKSM) staking, a decentralized exchange, an algorithmic stablecoin and a fixed KAR token supply.

Karura is a blockchain platform custom-built for DeFi. It is powered by KAR, a utility token with a maximum supply of 100,000,000. KAR’s value is backed by a certain volume of reserved ACA tokens.

The total supply is allocated as follows: 60.87% to the сommunity, 10% to the founding team, 10.08% to the backers and 18.33% to the early backers. The community allocation is further broken down as follows: 34% to the auction reward and liquidity program, 10.25% to the reward reserve, 5% to ecosystem development and 11.62% to the treasury/reserve.

The participants of the parachain auction will be rewarded with KAR tokens. 30% of KAR will be unlocked and transferable upon receipt and 70% will be released within 48 weeks.

The KAR token supports six distinct use cases: transaction fees, node incentivization, governance, algorithmic risk adjustment, pallet deployment and smart contract deployment.

As of June 2021, KAR tokens are not available for trading on any cryptocurrency exchanges. However, users can try out Karura's decentralized applications (DApps) on the Mandala testnet.
