Katana Network is a specialized DeFi blockchain launched in June 2025 that aligns users, apps, and the network through an efficient liquidity flywheel. It concentrates liquidity in a core set of apps and assets to prevent fragmentation, improves UX for retail and institutional participants, and generates sustainable yields via its VaultBridge on bridged assets, which are then recycled into ecosystem incentives. The native token KAT powers vKAT (staked KAT) as the central mechanism for directing emissions and earning fees from supported pools, drawing inspiration from generalized ve(3,3) models to create long-term alignment without relying on perpetual inflation.
