# Katana Network

> defi deserves better. so do your bags.

Katana helps DeFi users access deeper liquidity and higher yields by concentrating activity in core protocols like Morpho and Sushi on a dedicated L2 blockchain.

Katana helps DeFi users maximize capital efficiency and earn sustainable yields by concentrating liquidity in core protocols on a purpose-built Layer 2. Users can lend through Morpho, trade on Sushi, access perpetuals via Vertex, and earn from multiple yield sources including VaultBridge and chain-owned liquidity. Katana eliminates liquidity fragmentation while providing higher returns than traditional multi-protocol environments.

## Products

- [Katana Network](https://thegrid.id/profiles/katana_network): Katana Network is DeFi-optimized Layer 2 architecture using Agglayer CDK OP Stack with ZK proof validation, concentrating liquidity across core protocols Morpho, Sushi, and Vertex. The system routes multiple yield sources including sequencer fees, VaultBridge returns, and stablecoin revenues to maximize user returns while maintaining deep liquidity through chain-owned reserves. (L2, Live, Main Product)
- [Katana Bridge](https://thegrid.id/profiles/katana_network): Katana Bridge implements cross-chain asset transfers through Agglayer unified bridge infrastructure combined with VaultBridge yield generation, enabling users to bridge ETH, USDC, USDT, and WBTC while automatically earning yield from Morpho vaults on Ethereum. The system provides 1:1 asset representation with productive capital deployment from day one. (Bridge, Live)

## Assets

- [KAT (KAT)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/katana_network): KAT is the governance token of Katana Network. It is used to lock tokens to receive vKAT, which directs KAT emissions across Katana's ecosystem, starting with Sushi liquidity pools, expanding to lending markets, perpetuals, and beyond. The network was inspired by the ve(3,3) model, which has been generalized to share in value from an entire DeFi ecosystem rather than governing a single DEX. (Governance)
