Most DeFi chains launch with empty promises and token incentives.
@Katana is launching this summer, $100M already locked
They're creating something with maximum yield efficiency, interesting enough /w only 3 dApps connected at the beginning, to concentrate liquidity
Its like I´m watching Kill Bill and see Hattori Hanzo forging the perfect blade
🧵 Here's how they work ↓
Lets break down their numbers...
→ $88,642,600 total pre-deposited
→ $21,617,679 from Krates (opening video in comments)
→ $67,024,921 via Turtle Club
→ 148,000 Krates opened
→ 2M+ KAT rewards earned
Zero tokens spent on mercenary capital.
But here's the genius part...
While other chains fragment liquidity across 100+ DEXs, Katana concentrates everything:
ONE spot DEX → Sushi
ONE lending protocol → Morpho
ONE perp DEX → Vertex
Every dollar of TVL maximizes utility instead of getting scattered.
This creates something most chains never achieve 👇
A Yield Flywheel...
VaultBridge deposits generate yield on L1 → feeds back to boost Katana pools → attracts more TVL → compounds the effect.
Chain-Owned Liquidity from sequencer fees creates permanent backstop liquidity that never leaves during downturns.
AUSD brings off-chain Treasury yield into the ecosystem.
---
So, why should we care about that?
Most DeFi chains rely on token emissions that dilute to zero.
Katana built sustainable revenue streams BEFORE launching:
→ Bridge yield from day one
→ Sequencer fees = permanent liquidity
→ Core app revenue sharing
→ Off-chain yield integration
