defi was supposed to revolutionize finance.
but so far, it’s failed to live up to this promise.
liquidity is a problem. most assets in crypto do nothing. once onchain, they’re left idle. liquidity shatters across apps desperate to attract users for quick gains, with capital spread thin.
and yield is driven by inflation, not real activity. short-term incentives attract mercenary capital that doesn’t last. yields fade while most bridged assets sit idle.
it’s time for something different.
we designed katana for what actually matters to defi users and builders:
real yield
deep liquidity
productive capital
katana is built to make capital productive by aligning users, core apps, and protocol revenue
yield: from protocol-native revenue
liquidity: owned by the network
incentives: sustained, and flowing to active users via core apps and KAT holders via vote-escrow
no token printing, no mercenary capital, no fractured liquidity
just a system designed for the total value not to be locked, but productive: productive TVL
katana’s flywheel is simple:
users bridge assets to katana
assets flow into low-risk yield-generating vaults on ethereum
yield cycles to katana via core apps
active users get rewarded
the chain builds its own liquidity with 100% of net sequencer revenue and a cut of core app fees
a flywheel where user deposits drive yield to the network, apps put it to work, and the chain stacks liquidity that actually sticks. repeat, with productive usage that deepens the system.
katana gives you the defi experience you’ve actually been waiting for:
your assets don’t just sit there, they earn
your trades go through smoothly with deep liquidity and low slippage
your yield doesn’t vanish next month because it’s backed by real revenue
your activity earns yield
so if you’re active, you win
katana is built for productive users. bridge, lend, LP , get involved to earn high yield from what the network gives back.
yields stay high without smoke and mirrors. liquidity runs deep, and it only gets deeper.
this is defi, aligned. this is katana
