Bridge supported assets to Katana and receive 1:1 vbTokens. Under the hood, the underlying assets are deployed into yield strategies on Ethereum, creating revenue that flows back into the ecosystem.
Katana is designed for productive capital. Deploy assets across spot and lending markets to earn real yield and incentives driven by actual usage, not just short-term liquidity mining.
100% of net Katana sequencer fees are recycled into Chain-Owned Liquidity (CoL), deepening core markets over time and improving execution in any market regime.
Applications bootstrap faster by building on deep baseline liquidity and a shared incentive engine, reducing reliance on isolated token emissions and fragmented liquidity programs.
More trading and borrowing → more fees → deeper liquidity → better execution → more activity. As vKAT expands across the stack, incentives become increasingly directed by long-term participants.
The vKAT Armory
Lock KAT to receive vKAT to direct incentives across eligible pools and applications. vKAT voters earn a share of fees from the markets they vote for, plus vote incentives from protocols competing for liquidity. Unstaking is designed to reward long-term alignment: unlocking enters a cooldown period, and early exits incur a fee that is redistributed to remaining vKAT holders.
Over $240m in pre-deposits from early participants with 200,000 Krate loot boxes opened.
Katana is live with active users getting real yield, deep liquidity, and day one access to the best protocols.
The Katana App is now live, giving users a simple home base to explore yields, manage positions, and access the network’s core DeFi experiences.
