last month katana generated $462k in revenue
that goes back to active DeFi users on katana
in the form of liquidity mining incentives, vault donations, and deeper liquidity
the katana is forged different ⚔️
great thread on the findings in the @dl_research report on katana
vKAT, CoL, vaultbridge, sequencer fees, core apps, and more
this report has it all ⚔️
As much as DeFi needs more liquidity, it needs liquidity that works.
@katana built a chain where every asset earns, circulates, and compounds, forming a productive base for sustained growth.
A glance at our latest report: 🧵
LIVE at #SmartCon: @katana Insitutonal Lead @mfisher10x and @GSR_io President @Jakob_GSR took the stage to talk about onchain yield
Matthew: “Insitutions trust katana because we focus on making sure protocols have been battle tested and are secure”
Jakob: “We want Katana to be the choice for onchain and offchain yield - to be able to build up opportunities for institutions”
Introducing AggTrade!
The Hub for all DeFi activity on @katana
Now you can trade, lend, farm yield and view advanced analytics on your portfolio in 1 place.
CEO of @0xPolygon, @0xMarcB explains how institutions can unlock stablecoin liquidity.
The biggest challenge is that institutions move liquidity in large volumes.
We’ll soon see trillions of dollars entering blockchains.
Full report: methods, risks, and watchpoints are covered in detail.
If you have questions about VaultBridge, AUSD, CoL, or vKAT, reply here and we’ll follow up. ⚔️
the vKAT armory ties it together.
KAT → vKAT lets voters direct KAT emissions to fee-producing pools (and share in fees)
Think ve-tokenomics, but chain-wide.
What this means for users and builders:
🔹Higher in-kind yields on active positions (DEX/Lending)
🔹Concentrated liquidity via core apps (Sushi, Morpho) for better pricing and consistent rates
🔹Clear alignment between apps, users, vKAT voters, and the chain
The loop in brief:
activity → revenue → deeper liquidity → better execution and yields → more activity.
It’s designed to favor productive TVL vs vanity TVL.
Katana is a DeFi-first chain.
Chain-level yield sources (VaultBridge, AUSD, chain-owned liquidity, sequencer fees) are built into the chain architecture, then routed to core markets to encourage TVL that is productive.
the research team over at @DefiLlama just released a 30-page report on Katana
Katana is different.
with four primary revenue drivers that flow back to higher yields and deeper liquidity for users.
"where does the yield come from?" - this report from @dl_research dives DEEP 👇
"Do nothing that is of no use."
@katana applies the samurai's rule to DeFi: no wasted motion, no idle capital.
