Driven exclusively by our love for bald headed CEOs, Kim is embarking on its next chapter.

We’re going (to) Base(d).

Yep, the hottest L2 on the Optimism Superchain, the lovechild of Coinb*** and Ethereum, Brian and Vitalik, is getting Kim-ified.

It’s true; we’re launching on Base 🎉
Why Base
Because it’s based.

No, Really, Why Base?
It’s BasedSki to where the puck is heading, kiddo.

We’re absurdly bullish Web3. We’re even more bullish Superchain. And, as part of that, we’re bullish Base.

The Base team (s/o Jesse, pls acknowledge us 👋) have been working miracles when it comes to bringing users onchain.

And we don’t think that’s gonna change any time soon.

More users will have access to Kim; the most rewarding DEX in Web3.

For our current users - expect deeper liquidity pools, more incentives, and a more refined user experience.

Get Based With Us, Anon
If you’re a new user from the Base ecosystem, welcome - and enjoy the dank-load of rewards heading your way.

Existing users? Thank you for the support. Thank you for the liquidity. You will be rewarded.

Oh, and follow us on X, and join us on Discord.

Let’s get serious for a minute, anon.

It’s all fun and degen until it happens. Until millions of dollars of user funds are gone in an instant.

Where? To Kim Jong Un’s Pyongyang mansion? Maybe. Wherever it goes, when a hack occurs it doesn’t matter where those funds go to the users impacted.

What matters is that they’re gone.

And, just like most things in life, prevention is the best medicine.

That’s why Kim has partnered with Hypernative to secure our ecosystem and ensure your assets are more SAFU than ever.
Hypernative
Institutional grade Web3 security. Hypernative stops zero day Web3 cyber attacks, economic risks and protects digital assets, protocols and Web3 applications from significant losses.

Hypernative will actively monitor Kim whilst our security team will receive customized alerts 24/7 in the event of a malicious on-chain act.

Alerts can trigger automated prevention systems where necessary. With Hypernative, Kim will react and prevent any suspicious security incident promptly.

As always, at Kim - security is our #1 concern. Without that we wouldn’t be able to provide you with the greatest rewards for your liquidity in Web3.

Advanced Threat Detection
Kim Exchange is now under the vigilant eye of Hypernative’s state-of-the-art threat detection and response platform. This partnership extends across the Mode network, encompassing a wide range of potential vulnerabilities, from bridges and smart contracts to multisig wallets and token allocations.
Hypernative’s system is renowned for its real-time monitoring capabilities, utilizing both on-chain and off-chain data sources. Their platform can identify over 200 risk types, ensuring rapid detection and response to threats such as smart contract hacks, market manipulations, and even private key theft. Last year alone, Hypernative detected 99.5% of hacks with a minuscule false positive rate of less than 0.001%, saving over $50 million in funds.
Stay Safe, Anon
Don’t worry, anon - you don’t have to do anything. Just sit back and bask in the additional security provided by Hypernative.

An in-depth study has shown that, as of today, there are 69,420,000* chains, L2s, and L3s out there.

*note: this figure has not been checked for accuracy

So, when a project (a la Kim) is looking for where to set up shop, how do they decide which one to choose? 

Security? Speed? Liquidity? Usability? Meme-ability?

Yes. All of the above and more.

And the OP Superchain has it all. It is, for lack of a better pun, OP.
The Superchain Promise
Kim set out to have the deepest liquidity in Web3. To get there we need to be able to provide the most lucrative rewards possible. And we need that liquidity to be accessible to as many on-chain users as possible.

With the Superchain, we’re able to take the steps we need in order to achieve our goal.

Security? Yep, the Optimism Foundation has proven time and time again that it’s committed to decentralization and security.

Speed? Mode, our native L2 built on the OP Stack, process transactions in seconds.

Liquidity? The nature of the OP stack will enable Kim to provide liquidity across chains removing the fragmentation that’s so prevalent in crypto.

Usability? It’s easier to use than ever. Pennies per transaction. Countless wallets and user interfaces to access not just Kim, but a plethora of other dApps that optimize user experience.

Meme-ability? Uh, we just said OP is OP - that’s evidence enough.
The Future of Kim x Superchain
Hey BoB, we’re just gonna leave this here. It’s a BASED move.

IYKYK
TTFN
Ta-ta for now, anon. The Superchain is the light breaking through the leaves of the trees in the forest. And we’re prouder than ever to be a part of that light.

Oh, before we forget - follow us on X, and join us on Discord

Hearing rumours, anon? Us, too.
Rumour is we’re launching a hyper-interactive, degen-friendly, lootbox event. With some top prizes of up to $10,000.
Ten. Thousand. Dollars.
But before we kick off the big one, we’re testing it.
(We’re testing it with you).
Get ‘yo Lootbox
Since we’re just testing, we’re rolling two types of lootboxes; Gold & Wooden.
The famed golden lootbox holds up to $10,000 in rewards. Wooden lootboxes, although still cool, will snag you up to $100 in rewards.
Rewards range from kpNFTs with liquidity attached, $KIM rewards, APY booster NFTs, and a whole lot more (but we don’t wanna reveal all the alpha just yet).
For the next 2 weeks we’ll be dropping eleven lootboxes - 10 wooden, 1 gold, all you need to do to get involved is earn your lootbox lottery tickets.
One lottery ticket is earned when you:
Swap
ETH-USDC, KIM-MODE, ETH-MODE, KIM-ETH$100 swap = 3 ticketETH-mBTC, ETH - STONE, ETH-wBTC, ETH-USDT$100 swap = 2 ticketETH-MOCHAD, ETH-DJUMP$100 swap = 2 ticketETH-(LRT)ETH pairs$200 swap = 1 ticket
Provide Liquidity
ETH-USDC, Kim-mode, eth-mode, kim-eth$100 LP = 2 ticketETH-mBTC, ETH-STONE, ETH-wBTC, ETH-USDT, ETH-MOCHAD, ETH-DJUMP$100 LP = 1 ticketETH-(LRT)ETH pairs$100 LP = 1 ticket
Boost with Yield Booster
1ticket = $50 xKim in Yield Booster
ONE MORE THING
The feds over at Mode Network are dropping 5,000,000 (that’s million) MODE points to those who swap on Kim (and a handful of other, less cool, DEXs).
So swap away, anon. Swap for your chance to win a lootbox. Swap for your chance to earn MODE points. Swap for your future.

Aight, famalam - we just wanna make it clear that we’re not boomers. We’re not using Uni (more like boomerswap amirite(but seriously, thank you Hayden and Co for all you’ve done)).
We’re innovating. Degening. Building out the future of DeFi.

Together.

You and I (and also the more important members of the Kim team, the super smart tech folk).

In this piece of digital penmanship, we’re gonna dodge, dip, duck, dive, and dodge, through some of the tools at your disposal to maximize your yield on Kim.
Vaults & Strategies
Since the launch of our Steer Protocol integration, Kim LPers have been bestowed with a heavenly gift - a powerful tool that lets you sit back, relax, optimize your LP provision, and, most importantly, earn.

With Steer (and, soon, more providers), liquidity providers can access a variety of LP strategies to reduce impermanent loss and maximize GAINS. Check out our longer form piece on this here.

There are two ways to access this:

When prompted during the provision of LP (on select pools), ORIn the v4 Vaults section on Kim

With vaults, you’re able to select strategies based on your risk tolerance. Have fun, anon.
Lock Your LP
Alright, this one is super simple, super easy, and SUPER rewarding.

It’s as simple as this: when you’re providing liquidity, into any pool, you’ll be asked if you wanna lock it.

Select the number of days and, well, go ahead and lock it. You can lock liquidity for up to 6 months, the longer you lock the more steroid your rewards will be on. 

Learn how we managed to leverage liquidity locks with a few other tactics to get a whopping 1,250% APR on the ETH <> USDC pool right here.
The Yield Booster Plugin
Whew, okay - we’re going DEEP, anon. Yield boosting - allocate your $xKIM to your liquidity positions and feel the RAW THRILL of increasing your APR!

So, you’ve got a bag of $xKIM and you’re ready to allocate.

Make sure you’ve got a liquidity position in Kim already (check above, pick an awesome vault!), and head to the Yield Booster section of Kim.

Hit that little, but beautiful, rocket on the left and allocate your $xKIM.

Boom. Simple. All done. EZPZ. Wp. GG.
Reward Plugin
Okay, for this one, you’re not really boosting your yield on an LP.

Instead, you’re playing the long game. You’re getting your fair share of the the protocol fees that Kim earns.

That’s 0.3% on EVERY SINGLE SWAP, anon. All of it distributed to you; the holders of $KIM and stakers of the Reward Plugin.

Check it out - just a few clicks and you’ll be earning whilst you sleep.

kpNFTs & Nitro Pools
If you’ve got an open liquidity position in Kim already and you wanna lock that mu’fudda up for extra rewards, you can do that right from the Kim dashboard thanks to the power of kpNFTs.

AND, MORE EXCITINGLY, AS OF RECENTLY YOU CAN STAKE YOUR kpNFTs TO UNLOCK THE POWER OF NITRO POOLS.

Nitro pools allow the Kim team, and our deep party of partners, to offer incentives to liquidity partners on particular positions on top of what you’re already earning.

For example, if MODE wanted you to keep your liquidity on Kim - they simply spin up a Nitro Pool and offer rewards on all those who stake their KIM-MODE LP kpNFTs into it. Check out the kpNFTs at your disposal here (note: if you don’t see any, you need to provide liquidity, anon).
YOUR OWN COMMON SENSE
Look, anon, we know it can seem impossible at times to keep up with the world of Web3 - whether it’s Iggy Azalea or Andrew Tate, someone has always got the mic.

With all that going on, how are you meant to keep up with the most rewarding opportunities in Kim?

Pretty tough, right?

Well, you can always head to the Pools section of Kim to see where’s best to provide your liquidity.

And, of course, you can follow us on X, and join us on Discord.

Gn, sleep well.
