Good stuff by @Eli5defi, here on Katana🔥
The stats are solid, but what's more interesting is how @katana actually works.
Most L2s try to do everything. Katana picked one lane i.e DeFi. And that narrow focus lets them build something that actually feeds itself.
Here's how the flywheel works👇
• Sequencer fees
• Bridge vault yields (bridged assets earn on ETH)
• CoL yields
• AUSD treasury yields (T-bill backed stablecoin)
Activity → Revenue → Deeper Liquidity → Better execution & yields → More Activity
Instead of printing tokens to incentivize growth, @katana recycles real revenue back into the system. This is why it's sustainable because it runs on productivity, not just emissions.
h/t to @blockworksres for the infographics.
➥ A Quick Look at Katana’s October Stats.

► Why This Matters
Katana's activity continued to rise in October and marked the third straight month of growth.
Productive TVL stayed near 99.9%, with most capital deployed across core applications. Low fees kept actions cheap across the network and supported steady usage.
This is the irrefutable proof that Katana's model is working.
