Katana vs Vaulta

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.

Vaulta is a Layer-1 chain built as the operating system for Web3 banking. It combines a high-performance, deterministic-finality blockchain with modules for wealth management, consumer payments, portfolio investment, and crypto-native insurance. Fully EVM-compatible, Vaulta supports Bitcoin integration via ExSat, cross-chain transfers through IBC, and a staking-backed stable financial infrastructure for institutions and individuals.
