All-in-one DeFi platform to help investors swap, borrow, lend and earn crypto
About Karura
Meet Karura’s all-in-one DeFi platform to help you swap, borrow, lend, earn, and more – all with micro gas fees. Kusama and Polkadot are independent, standalone networks built in nearly the exact same way, but Kusama has faster governance parameters and higher risk tolerance. Karura will deliver decentralized financial products and stable assets to Kusama’s entire ecosystem of networks. Karura settles transactions for a fraction of the gas required on other networks. Thanks to Kusama’s weight-based fee model, you can count on micro gas fees that vary only slightly by transaction complexity. Empowers the community to vote, elect council members, and drive the development of Karura. Karura Apps offers the ability to trustlessly trade tokens without intermediaries through Karura Swap. Karura Swap is a trustless, automated market maker (AMM)-styled decentralized exchange on the Karura network.

SORA
SORA will join the Kusama parachain auctions, starting in January and continuing until securing a slot. Interoperability between the existing SORA network and the SORA Kusama parachain network will be enabled via a bridge. SORA is built on Parity Substrate and Polkaswap is a decentralized app that is being built on top of the SORA network. We are currently working to connect to the Polkadot relay chain and parachains with built-in tools focused on DeFi. The SORA Network excels at providing tools for decentralized applications that use digital assets, such as atomic token swaps, bridging tokens to other chains, and creating programmatic rules involving digital assets. Polkaswap is a non-custodial liquidity aggregator cross-chain AMM DEX for the interoperable DeFi future, run by the community. Based in the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems and built on the SORA network.

Shiden
Shiden Network is a multi-chain decentralized application layer on Kusama Network. Kusama Relaychain does not support smart contract functionality by design - Kusama Network needs a smart contract layer. This is where Shiden Network comes in. Shiden supports Ethereum Virtual Machine, WebAssembly, and Layer2 solutions from day one. The platform supports various applications like DeFi, NFTs and more. SDN token holders can stake their tokens on favorite dApps so that both nominators and the dApps developer can earn SDN tokens. If you are trying to deploy Solidity smart contracts, you have 2 ways to compile your smart contract: using Ethereum tools, or using Solang (a Solidity to WASM compiler). After compiling your contract, you can deploy it on our testnet, Dusty Network.
