Overview
Katana is a chain designed specifically for DeFi. It rethinks DeFi to offer what users care about most: deeper liquidity and higher yields, all in a sustainable way. This happens through mechanisms to ensure that all liquidity on Katana is absorbed in only one lending protocol (Morpho), one spot DEX (Sushi), and one perp DEX (Vertex), which are the core applications on Katana with hundreds of applications building on top of them. This is achieved with a unique approach to maximizing yield that can be used as incentives on the core applications, including from VaultBridge, sequencer fees, and Agora USD revenue.
Katana has deeply embedded, user-focused interoperability, using Agglayer for all users to onboard seamlessly. Katana uses ZK proofs to validate state transitions, allowing users to exit the chain without long wait periods.
