Katana is a DeFi Layer-1 chain incubated by Polygon Labs and GSR, designed to maximize on-chain liquidity and real yield. Its Vaultbridge system redeploys bridged assets like ETH and USDC into yield strategies on Ethereum, while Chain-owned Liquidity (CoL) channels 100% of sequencer fees into deep, protocol-controlled liquidity pools. Katana’s native AUSD stablecoin, backed by US Treasuries, powers lending markets and DEX liquidity with off-chain yield incentives.
OP Mainnet (Optimism) is an optimistic rollup that batches transactions to Ethereum and relies on fraud proofs submitted during a seven‑day challenge window. The Bedrock upgrade in 2023 cut L1 calldata costs by 40 % and introduced multi‑proof modularity. ‘RetroPGF’ rounds redistribute protocol revenue to public‑goods builders, governed by the OP token‑holder Collective.
