Katana (KAT) is a decentralized finance token that operates within the Katana ecosystem, a Layer 2 network built on Base. It functions as a governance and capital-direction lever for the protocol, giving holders a structured way to participate in the chain's economic design. Holders can lock KAT to receive vKAT, a non-transferable voting version of the token. This locked form underpins several core aspects of Katana's economy, including the distribution of fee-based rewards to participants. By tying governance rights to locked tokens, the system encourages long-term engagement and aligns holders with the network's cooperative functioning. KAT also has ties to yield farming activity, reflecting its broader role in supporting the DeFi applications built on the chain. As a native asset of the Katana ecosystem, it is designed to channel liquidity, incentivize participation, and provide a mechanism for collective decision-making across the protocol.
