Kima

The Decentralized Money Transfer Protocol. Kima is a decentralized, blockchain-based money transfer protocol. It settles interchain transactions, enabling apps to build on what they’re comfortable with, and leave financial friction in the past.

The Kima protocol defragments DeFi by providing an open infrastructure and building blocks for cross-chain apps: a robust technological infrastructure, pre-made functionality blocks, tokenomics and apps. Blockchain protocols are siloed because of technical, financial and regulatory obstacles. As a result, DeFi is a collection of fragments: liquidity pools, options, vaults, strategies, future contracts – all of which are locked within the boundaries of the network and smart contracts. The result is poor user experience, limited functionality, insufficient liquidity and high costs.

To unlock value and increase adoption to reach a network effect, DeFi must become unfragmented. Services should be interoperable, interconnected (both cross-chain and off-chain), user-friendly and smart.
