I fucking love crypto.
Just got a free copy of GTA VI for trading on Katana.
As someone who regularly trades perps, I just did my normal perps volume but opted into their GTA VI reward... and unlocked it in just a couple hours.
My trading was pretty mid, ended up with no major profits, but I offset all my losses AND I got a free copy of GTA VI Ultimate Edition.
Nice.

I refuse to believe no one has built ‘instant cash back’ with principal slashing for early redemption.
Have had several reach out but none actually solve for what I'm trying to implement
Will pay $500 if someone does have this and let's us use it and $100 for the person that refers me to said developer

Katana and Katana ecosystem products are not affected by Binance incident and remain stable, fully functional, and secure.
We immediately went into war room following rumors:
- in close contact with all curators for Vault Bridge and Katana, we were prepared to go into defensive positioning for a potential industry liquidity crunch, which was and remains to be unlikely based on analysis
- in close contact with @chainlink who is the sole provider for price feeds on @katanaperps. Chainlink prices are aggregated across many sources, so single venue drifting doesn't move the onchain price on its own, but regardless continue to monitor abnormal DEX and CEX spreads
- in close contact with Katana Perps MMs to understand and minimize potential impacts to liquidity environment on our venue while uncertainty loomed
- in close contact with other ecosystem players to fully understand as well as taking internal steps to further assess implications to market conditions
In these situations it feels reassuring to know our team's obsession over security and that the partners we have chosen to work with carry this attitude as well.

Blast is shutting down today.
We have taken a snapshot of users and wallet activity. Additional boosts will be given to wallets that are active on Katana.
More soon.
Blast will be shutting down.
We launched Blast with the goal of building a self-sustaining chain for users and developers. Unfortunately, the economics of operating the chain no longer make sense: the ongoing costs of maintaining Blast exceed the revenue generated by the L2, and we do not see a credible path to making the chain economically sustainable.
As a result, we've made the difficult decision to wind Blast down.
We're sorry to the users and developers who believed in Blast, built on it, and supported the ecosystem. Our priority now is making the shutdown as smooth and safe as possible.
We're asking all users to withdraw their assets from Blast to Ethereum mainnet, including any balances held in the Blast PWA.
To make this easier, we will be reducing the withdrawal delay to 24 hours.
As part of the shutdown process, we'll first begin withdrawing Blast's Lido assets. This process is expected to take approximately one week. During this period, withdrawals will temporarily be unavailable, even after the withdrawal delay is reduced to 24 hours.
Once that process is complete, withdrawals will resume with the new 24-hour delay.
Users will have until October 26, 2026 to withdraw through the normal Blast interface.
After October 26, assets will remain withdrawable, but users will need to interact directly with the Blast bridge contracts on Ethereum L1. We'll publish detailed instructions before then.
We strongly encourage everyone to withdraw their assets to Ethereum mainnet before October 26.

Read this. It's crazy.
- Arbitrum token FDV - $1.37B, revenue is $10.4M.
- Optimism token FDV - $422M, revenue is $6M.
- MegaETH token FDV - $346M, revenue is $4m.
Katana token FDV - $42M, revenue is $2m.
This is interesting for a few reasons:
1. Most chains you've seen launched in the last few years have no users, no revenue, and no reason to keep going.
Katana does.
2. The numbers just don't add up
All these other teams are EXTREMELY well funded, high FDVs, but have revenue that is proportional to ours. Something seems off 🤔
3. Opportunity
I mean it seems pretty obvious to me
💰 Top Layer 2 Chains by Revenue in 2026
🥇 @RobinhoodCrypto Chain — $42.3M
🥈 @base — $30.8M
🥉 @Lighter_xyz — $27.4M
🏅 @arbitrum — $10.4M
@Optimism — $6M
@megaeth — $4M
@katana — $2.6M
Despite launching only in July, @RobinhoodCrypto Chain ranks first among Layer 2 networks by revenue in 2026, with more than $42M generated so far, including $35M in September alone.

Looking for expert feedback and analysis on a potential design that integrates ve3,3 into perps.
Will provide compensation for the right individual/entity.
Must deeply understand vetokenomics and actively trade perps. A rare combination...
Who should we speak with?

3. Loop weETH/vbETH on Morpho (Katana) for 15% APY
What caught my attention about Morpho on Katana is its very low borrowing rates, primarily driven by the KAT token incentives.
vbETH is the wrapped token representing the ETH bridged to @katana.
