Deep Dive Bounty

JUDGING

Katana offers a suite of yield products across the risk spectrum, enabling users to passively access the best risk-adjusted yields in the ecosystem. By packaging complex strategies into vaults, Katana enables anyone to simply deposit into their desired vault and begin earning its yield--all without any active management or fees!

Importantly, Katana's yield is not dependent on liquidity mining programs but price action, thereby offering a diversified and more sustainable source of yield.

What sets Katana apart:

  1. Smart - Katana’s vaults use complex strategies beyond the sophistication of the average investor. We automate and optimize everything from strike selection to order execution, ensuring our samurai earn the best yields possible for any risk appetite.
  2. Simple - Although our vaults execute complex strategies, investing with Katana is incredibly simple. Just select the strategy right for you, deposit your assets, and sit back!
  3. Sustainable - Liquidity mining yields tend to zero given finite token supply. Luckily, Katana vault yields are based on price action and scale better with more capital.
  4. Straightforward - Katana does not charge any fees. Period.

Katana is used by retail investors, DAOs, DeFi protocols, institutions, and more. The protocol was the Grand Prize Winner at the Solana Ignition hackathon and can be accessed at app.katana.so.
