hello
we’re the team behind katana ( r/katana ), a new defi-first chain incubated by polygon labs & gsr, purpose-built for deep liquidity and high yield.
we are excited to do an AMA here and answer all your questions about the chain and its mechanism what we’re excited to talk about:
⚔️what is katana?
not just another chain. a lean, opinionated, defi-optimized chain built on op stack + zk proofs, using agglayer as the canonical bridge. focused on deep permanent liquidity and high sustainable yields for users
⚔️vaultbridge
we’re turning idle assets into yield and cycling it back to boost katana’s defi markets. you bags don’t sit idle in the L1 bridge, they are used to boost yield in katana’s core defi apps. feel free to ask how vaultbridge works, how yield flows, and what vbTokens are.
⚔️chain-owned liquidity (CoL)
CoL is katana’s liquidity reserve. funded by sequencer fees, deployed to deepen core markets. it cushions volatility, reduces slippage, and keeps yields more consistent. no rented TVL from mercenaries, just native liquidity that grows with the chain. ask how it works.
⚔️kat token (KAT)
no presale. no VCs. no insider unlocks before users. just aligned incentives and a modified ve(3,3) design to make emissions smarter. ask us anything about KAT, vKAT, token mechanics, and why it works differently here.
⚔️core apps
katana is opinionated. it’s launching with a curated stack: morpho for lending, sushi for spot, vertex for perps. fewer moving parts = deeper liquidity + higher yields.
⚔️incentives that actually work
no games. no mercenary farming. ask how multiple liquidity mining yield sources, productive TVL, and KAT emissions are designed to reward activity, not idle assets. users come first.
⚔️what’s next
public mainnet is coming late june. this is your chance to dig in before that. we share the gameplan, the ecosystem vision, and how you can get involved early.
how to participate:
drop your questions we’ll answer as many as possible
serious questions, spicy takes, and memes are all welcome
this is your chance to get behind the curtain, ask hard questions, and see why we’re so excited to launch this chain.
questions will be answered by u/katananetwork and u/ManBearPig9220
no fluff. just liquidity, yield, and aligned incentives.
stay sharp ⚔️
katana team
