How It Works

Katana is an EVM Layer 2 (OP Stack) that accepts BTC and ETH as collateral. You borrow Katana USDC or USDT, and in return receive incentive rebates in USDC, USDT, MORPHO, and KAT tokens — typically exceeding your borrow cost.

Bridging (Vault Bridge)

Bridge USDC, USDT, WBTC, or ETH via AggLayer, LayerZero, Relay, LI.FI, or Symbiosis. Assets convert to vbTokens (vbUSDC, vbUSDT, vbWBTC) on arrival. Redeem anytime for originals on Ethereum.

Bridged assets are deployed into over-collateralised lending on Morpho, generating yield that funds borrow and DEX incentives.

Security

  • 4 independent audits (SigmaPrime, ChainSecurity, 2× Certora with formal verification)
  • $1M bug bounty on Cantina
  • vbETH and vbWBTC live since July, hundreds of millions in volume, no issues
