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.
Ronin is a delegated proof‑of‑authority sidechain built for gaming, best known for powering Axie Infinity. After the 2022 bridge exploit, Ronin migrated to a 17‑validator set with hardware‑signing requirements and added zkSync‑powered zkRonin bridges for withdrawals. The chain supports ERC‑721 and ERC‑1155 NFTs and charges near‑zero fees denominated in RON.
