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.
The Open Network (TON) is a sharded Layer‑1 originally designed by Telegram, featuring dynamic workchains and instant cross‑shard consensus through the Vertical Blockchain mechanism. The TON Storage and TON DNS services extend functionality beyond payments, whereas the Tap‑to‑Transfer feature has onboarded millions of Telegram users. A 2025 governance vote approved jetton fee burns to make TON mildly deflationary.
