# 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.
