Building the backbone of on-chain trading
Curaga AG builds advanced blockchain and Web3 infrastructure for decentralized exchanges, liquidity protocols, and institutional-grade trading systems. Our platform enables companies to deploy and manage algorithmic market-making strategies on-chain with automated risk controls and deep analytics.
We work with B2B partners in the blockchain ecosystem — including token issuers, market makers and DEX operators — and focus on delivering high-performance execution, transparency, and capital-efficient liquidity.
