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.
Stellar is a payments‑focused blockchain that uses the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP), a federated Byzantine agreement where each node chooses its own quorum slices. Anchors issue fiat‑backed tokens, and Stellar’s built‑in DEX offers path payments that can hop through multiple assets in a single transaction. The 2023 Soroban upgrade added WebAssembly smart contracts, enabling on‑chain AMMs, lending and other DeFi primitives.
