About Oku
At Oku, we aim to close the gap between the CeFi and DeFi trading experiences. It is no mistake that 95% of crypto trading occurs on centralized platforms like Binance and Coinbase since their organizations have spent substantially more time and resources investing in their trading interface, while DeFi has primarily been focused on infrastructure and protocols for the last several years.
However, that is going to change soon. While CeFi organizations enjoy their Web2 stack, a Web3 company like Oku can leverage the composability of the DeFi ecosystem and blockchain technology to offer a high-quality trading experience that will eventually be indistinguishable from CeFi and, in the long run, overcome their legacy systems. That is why Oku has 50+ partners in or supporting the app.
Oku initially started as a project within GFX Labs after they received a $1.6M grant from the Uniswap Foundation in October 2022 to build and launch a reimagined trading interface, analytics platform, and API for Uniswap v3. After ten months of development, Oku launched in July 2023, and since then, Oku has supported the DAO Uniswap’s efforts to expand across new blockchains.
Today, our primary feature is our smart order routing system, which integrates 12+ order routing systems to ensure all users find the best price possible. We have also adapted our order routing technology to offer a bridge aggregator with 11+ integrated bridges. Most recently, to close the CeFi/DeFi gap further, we added on/off-ramping with USD and EURO to our interface at an industry-low fee of free! Our other popular features include trustless onchain limit orders built directly on Uniswap v3, our position manager page for users who want to manage their LP positions, and our Uniswap v3 analytics.
Over the coming years, Oku will be expanding the scope of our offering and improving the quality of our user experience.
Why work at Oku?
Any firm can pay a high salary and offer good incentives (as will we), but most can’t offer interesting, challenging, and rewarding work.
We have something to prove. Our team is young and hungry. We like to move fast and make things. We know when to double down and when to cut our losses. We are going to make mistakes, and we are going to build a better product because of them. We don’t micromanage or have a huge team of product managers. We want self starters who take charge and solve problems.
We don’t care if you went to school, what grades you got, or your age. Show us what you have built, what problems you have solved, and what skills you have.
