Time for a refresher! ⚔️🍣
Every Wednesday we’ll run a quick thread to explain tokens on @katana, starting with the mysterious ones you’ve probably seen: vbETH, vbUSDC, vbWBTC…
What’s with the vb? 👇 1/
2/
vb = VaultBridge.
When you bridge bluechips like ETH, USDC, USDT, or WBTC into @katana, you don’t just get the token… you get a vbToken.
Because Katana uses VaultBridge by @Agglayer, turning idle bridged assets into productive capital.
3/
Ever wonder what happens to your tokens after bridging?
Mostly…nowhere.
VaultBridge puts them to work safely.
Bridged assets go into @MorphoLabs vaults, managed with risk frameworks by @gauntlet_xyz + @SteakhouseFi, so you’re earning yield without taking on too much risk.
4/
Here’s how it works:
1️⃣ Bridge ETH, USDC, USDT, or WBTC → receive vbTokens 1:1
2️⃣ Assets are routed into Morpho vaults
3️⃣ Yield strategies run in the background
4️⃣ Revenue flows back to Katana → funding the ecosystem sustainably
5/
For users: vbTokens = 1:1 reps of your bridged assets.
But remember, they don’t auto-yield in your wallet.
To earn yield, you need to deploy:
🍣 LP on Sushi
🦋 Lend on Morpho
That’s how Ethereum-side yield flows back to you.
