The Katana Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to the promotion of decentralized finances (DEFI), has now opened a private mainnet of defi-centric blockchain, Katana. Designed to –streamline liquidity and strengthen the productivity of the owner, Katana aims to deliver higher yields and deeper liquidity for both institutional and retail users.
Why important? With the adoption of the institutional defi that is expected to triple over the next two years, according to EY, Katana came as a solution developed aimed at addressing critical sector disease points: spreading liquidity, poor capital expansion, and excessive leakage.
“In Katana, we apply our deep expertise to the market to unlock real produce and concentrated liquidity,” said Jakob Palmstierna, President, GSR, a major incubator and liquidity partner for the project.
The Katana Blueprint: An Integrated Defi Yield Engine
Unlike the traditional defi ecosystem that has filed user activity in different protocols, Katana focuses on liquidity in a stailed suite suite of trusted applications. It collects yield from many resources and review fees back to the ecosystem to grow fuel. Users can pre-deposit property today to obtain early exposure and participate in a Kat Lootbox giveaway.
Built using CDK-Opgeth Stack-Leveraging the Op stack and connected by Polygon’s Agglayer—They uses proof zero-knowledge (ZK) powered by SUCCINCT’s SP1 Proverbs and Polygon’s Plonky3 for scalability and security. Conduit’s The high-performance G2 sequencer holds the transaction through the transaction.
Backed by polygon labs and GSRs, Katana infrastructure promises low slippage, stable rates, and accessible yield techniques. Chainlink Provides decentralized oracles to ensure reliable data flow for defi applications.
Concentrated liquidity and cooperation of ecosystem
Katana’s liquidity strategy combines capital around select defi protocols:
- Morpho: Lending and Borrowing
- Sushi: Spot Liquidity and Integration -Sama
- Vertex: Capital-effective perpetuals
- Agora: Native Stablecoin (AUSD) Issuance
- Lombard: BTC-Back LBTC Liquid Staking
- Ether.fi: yields yield
- Bitvault: Institutional-grade BTC instruments
By UniversalUsers can access blue chips such as XRP, Sol, and Sui-earning produce while performing arbitration and farming techniques without leaving Katana ecosystems.
Five main pillars of yield optimization
Katana introduced five mechanisms to boost and maintain high yield:
- Vaultbridge: Bridged assets such as the ETH, USDC, and WBTC are allowed to earn a base yield in Ethereum and combined with Katana yield.
- Recycling a network fee: Transaction fees have been re -proven to support liquidity and to be incentive to users.
- AUSD revenue sharing: Unlike centralized stablecoins, AUSD shares treasury revenue with ecosystem.
- Core App Emissions: Token releases from major apps are allocated to reward user participation.
- Emissions KAT: Token management empowering users to vote on leaks, aligning ecosystem health rewards.
According to polygon labs CEO Marc Bairon, defi users deserve ecosystems that value sustainable liquidity and the same “real” yield.
“The User-centric user model turns the importance, establishing a truly positive sum-sum environment for builders and participants alike,” Marc added.
Kat token: incentivized management for sustainable growth
The Katana Foundation also introduced Kat, the network management token built on the Vote-Escrow (VE) model. Users who locked up KAT receive Vekat, giving them a go to influence yield leaks in the Defi pools. Pre-depositors can earn KAT through a lootbox system, with a locking period of up to nine months.
Beyond a management token, Kat is aligned with long-term protocol incentives by placing leaks towards the productive total amount locked (TVL) and chain-owned liquidity. It promotes the user’s deeper interaction while guarding against short-term capital flights.
Developing a productivity, elastic ecosystem
Katana sought to redefine how defi TVL was used. Instead of sitting down, the properties are deployed to lending, trading, and structured yield techniques. The efficiency of this capital benefits users directly while generating revenue for applications, which re -invested in user experience.
In addition, chain-owned liquidity developed from protocol and sequencer fees acts as a stabilizer during markets periods and liquidity shock.
Katana noted that the public mainnet is set to be released in June.
Developers and early adoptions can now explore Katana’s private mainnet and register for updates and pre-deposit access to Katana.network.
