# What is Kumbaya?

Kumbaya is two things in one app:

1. **A decentralized exchange (DEX)** where you can swap tokens and provide liquidity. It runs on a fork of Uniswap V3, so the trading experience will feel familiar if you've used Uniswap before.
2. **A social launchpad** where anyone can launch a new token using a bonding curve, comment on launches, tip creators, and build a profile around their on-chain activity.

It's all built on **MegaETH**, a layer 2 designed for real-time applications. In practice that means swaps, comments, and tips feel instant — no waiting 10–20 seconds for a transaction to confirm.

## Who Kumbaya is for

* **Traders** who want fast, cheap swaps on a Uniswap-style DEX.
* **Liquidity providers** who want to earn fees on concentrated liquidity positions.
* **Token creators** who want to launch a coin without writing any code.
* **Communities** who want a hangout that's wired into the on-chain action.

> Kumbaya is **not** custodial. You own your wallet, your tokens, and your positions. We never hold your funds.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.kumbaya.xyz/getting-started/what-is-kumbaya.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
