James Cook was an English navigator, explorer and cartographer.

[Kook](https://www.kook.exchange/) is your navigator through the DeFi world.

**Why Kook**

Our experience in DeFi is cumbersome.  
As regular users we have to navigate from front-ends to front-ends to bridge, swap and manage DeFi positions and use different interfaces to discover new DeFi protocols, check data to motivate your investment decisions.  
  
Being a DeFi user mean spending several hours a week on socials and websites to manage your positions.  
  
We dont want this anymore and DeFi transparent and composable nature enable us to do so.

**DeFi Yield Hub**

We love the DeFiLlama Yield Dashboard and we wanted to extend the experience by offering a platform where you can:

*   **Benchmark DeFi opportunities through our Pools view**

You can filter opportunities by strategies and underlying tokens, you can also sort them by APY or TVL.

Data is exclusively onchain data.

It gives the ability to display real and historical performance numbers with a standardised methodology.

*   **Invest in pools with ANY token through Investment view**

Enter in yield-bearing pools with ANY token so that your friction to invest is reduced.We are using [Li.fi](http://Li.fi) and [cowswap](https://swap.cow.fi/#/swap) infrastructure to zap.

*   **Monitor your assets through Position view**

**The special thing about Kook**

We want to treat each user decently, as a matter of fact:

1.  You will not pay any additional fees using Kook compared to the protocols' interfaces. **Better,** we enable you to optimise over gas fees and potential slippage thanks to embedded actions.
    
2.  We do not bear any additional smart contract risks. Kook interface either interacts directly with the protocol contracts or is using multiply-audited smart contracts (Li.fi, Cowswap) for the zap feature.
    

[**Kook**](https://www.kook.exchange/) is live on 6 chains (ethereum, arbitrum, optimism, base, zksync, gnosis) and with 30 protocols.

**Kook ambassador program**

To incentivise users to come and discover Kook, we offer the opportunity to:

1.  Earn 10USDC as an ambassador
    
2.  Earn 5USDC as an user
    

Rewards are accrued each time a new user is onboarded to the platform and transacts more than $200 volume on deposits rewards.  
  
They are distributed on a weekly basis.
