Katana's Ethereum Layer 2 Network Sees 5.54% Gain in Past Month
Katana is an Ethereum Layer 2 network designed to support decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. Its native token, KAT, plays a crucial role in coordinating liquidity and incentives across the ecosystem.
The network operates as an Ethereum Layer 2 using the Agglayer Chain Development Kit and OP Stack architecture, with fast transaction processing and infrastructure optimized for DeFi applications.
KAT is used to stake into vKAT, which allows participants to direct future KAT emissions toward supported liquidity pools. The token's role is not directly tied to paying transaction fees or governing chain upgrades.
