# OVERVIEW

Kim is an ecosystem-focused, community-driven DEX built on Mode.

Kim has been built as a highly efficient and customizable protocol, allowing both builders and users to leverage our custom infrastructure for deep, sustainable, and adaptable liquidity. Kim moves beyond the traditional design of DEXs to focus on offering a custom approach that prioritizes the community and ecosystem. By leveraging Mode's unique approach to sequencer fee sharing, Kim is able to provide projects with greater incentives.

### Why Mode?

Mode is an Ethereum L2 built to encourage and support a cooperative on-chain experience. Users and builders grow as the network grows.

The goal of Mode is to empower developers and users to grow an ecosystem of world-class applications and be directly rewarded for their contribution to the ecosystem through Sequencer Fee Sharing and User Referral fees.

The Kim team believes that through an on-chain cooperative we can grow the ecosystem to onboard the next billion users.
