04

Resilient infrastructure

Run on European cloud (Scaleway) with high uptime and prebuilt UI components.

05

A clean API

REST + JSON, idempotency keys, webhooks, SDKs.

Verified access

The docs are live. Production keys are earned.

You can read the full API reference now and start designing your integration. Because Kudu moves real money, we verify every business before issuing production keys — it's protection for you and your users, not a gate for its own sake.
