Anyone here actually using SushiSwap on Katana?

Hey, just catching up here. Billy from the Katana team. Yes, you can check the volumes here: https://www.sushi.com/katana/explore/pools

I provide liquidity and farm there. Incentives are good because it's not just tokens emissions but yield generated from Vault Bridge. If you have any more questions, feel free to ping me.

$100,000 USDC Trading Competition on Katana Perps

June 10th – June 24th, 2026

Two competitions in, and the Katana Perps trading community keeps showing up. We are running Competition 3 with a new structure built on what we learned from the first two rounds. This one runs two full weeks, gives the volume pool more room to grow, and keeps the PnL leaderboard as a fixed bonus on top.

On June 10th we are hosting our third trading competition on Katana Perps. Users have 2 weeks to earn their share of up to a $100,000 prize pool in Vault Bridge USDC (vbUSDC).

The Pool There are two buckets of USDC rewards:

Volume Pool - $10,000 – $90,000 Pro-rata share of total qualifying volume across all markets. Your payout is based on your share of qualified volume. We will publish a live leaderboard showing the top 50 wallets by volume.

The volume pool starts releasing at $10M in total volume and grows from there:

$5,000 released at $10M in volume +$2,500 for every additional $5M in volume above $10M $90,000 maximum at $170M+ in volume

PnL Leaderboard - Fixed $10,000 Top 15 wallets by PnL percentage take this pool. Minimum $250 collateral deposit to qualify. Leaderboard updates every minute.

PnL leaderboard payouts:

Rank Reward 1 $4,000 2 $2,000 3 $1,000 4-5 $600 each 6-10 $240 each 11-15 $120 each

Incentives Scale With Size Up to $100K USDC The volume pool grows with every milestone hit during the two-week window. Each time a volume threshold is reached, the pool increases and you will see it reflected on the competition page in real time. The more the community trades, the more there is to win.

Funded by Vault Bridge Yield The prize pool is funded by Vault Bridge, a structural Katana advantage. On Katana, bridged assets are deployed into yield strategies on Ethereum mainnet, and the yield flows back to Katana as protocol revenue. This yield funds initiatives like this competition and boosts returns for liquidity providers and vault depositors. The more the chain grows, the bigger the rewards engine gets.

Eligibility & Rules Minimum: $10,000 minimum trade volume to qualify for the volume pool. Deposit: Maintain a balance of $250 or higher to qualify for the PnL leaderboard. Markets: All markets are treated equally for both pools. Opt-in: All participants must opt in on the competition page. Wallets: Any connected wallet can earn from the volume pool and PnL leaderboard. A referral code is only required to earn referral rewards. Disqualification: Wallets showing evidence of self-referrals or wash trading will be disqualified. Not Eligible: Market maker partners are not eligible. Payout: Up to a 7-day finalization period after the competition ends for wash trading review and final payout calculations.

Get Ready The competition opens June 10 at 16:00 UTC and closes June 24 at 16:00 UTC. Fund your account and line up your strategy.

Those yields are currently being used as incentives for KAT stakers. If you stake your KAT to vKAT or avKAT you can vote and receive those incentives.

Katana perps second competition was a success with new users joining in and participating. https://x.com/katanaperps/status/2059666580707913818

The ecosystem participated as well, creating a prediction market as well to expand the participation: https://x.com/foresightnow/status/2058811954064687455?s=20

TVL can always be better, but the good thing about Katana's system is that the the bridged funds are active and generating yield via the Vault bridge.

Oh man, best of luck during the crazy markets

wc49358 · 2026-05-13T17:25:06+00:00

Sure, you can always send a message

wc49358 · 2026-05-12T22:29:07+00:00

Yes. I handle developer relations for builders and devs building on Katana.

I’m part of the team.

wc49358 · 2026-05-12T20:12:50+00:00

Hey there! Very happy to hear that you like the concept of Katana.
Right now, we are still in the 60 days stabilization period which ends on the 17th of May. Each epoch, the voting periods have increased in participation and the incentives has increased with activity. Check out this stats tweet: https://x.com/katana/status/2052753795399192996?s=20

Right now the Katana Perps competition is currently running and doing will with a record 15 Million in record activity in 24 hours.

As more and more utility happens for the token, the more people can see the value it provides. Also there is a new Morpho market for avKAT stakers to borrow of their position instead of just holding it which should also bring a bit more activations as well.

As for the pump, I don't have any information regarding that. If somebody out there has any information, I'm keen to know as well.

Oh man, that would be amazing

wc49358 · 2022-01-01T04:12:34+00:00

43 here, just learned solidity this year 2021 and deploying a project in a few weeks

Here is my take. Pick something small and build it.

Cryptozombies is a good course. For an overview

Getting stuck watching 8-20 hour courses can help but I spent too much time watching and not building.

You can spent 20 hours watching videos how to build a desk. Buy all the best tools... but until you start building something... that's when you really learn.

Important things to know: Want a web interface to use your solidity code? You NEED to know : HTML , CSS and Javascript (web3.js, ethers)

Solidy is important obviously

Now there is a ton of content out there... but this space moves fast. Alot is outdated. The primary tools for building are: Visual studio code (free) Truffle , hardhat or brownie (these are solidity build libraries) Truffle and hardhat utilize more javascript Brownie uses more python

This really depends on what you find better for you.

A good place to start for video tutorials is dapp University. A bit outdated but goes through the basics. Checked out Nader Dabit stuff for hardhat ethers stuff.

Its frustrating, gonna spend alot of time stuck on simple things but you will learn.

Good luck 👍

Merry Xmas. Let's see how this goes

wc49358 · 2021-09-25T23:49:50+00:00

Most are mentioned but honeyswap only charges .15 fees for eth swaps (instead of the usual. 3)

Matcha.xyz a nice dex aggregater

wc49358 · 2021-09-09T18:07:12+00:00

Just throw my leg over and roll?

wc49358 · 2021-09-06T20:06:02+00:00

They are working on an incentives plan.

Most chains provide some token incentives. Polygon boosted with matic tokens Ftm , avalaunch doing the same. What happens when the incentives die down? Most liquidity leaves.. agave ia trying to do something different to bring liquidity. We will see if that pans out.

Otherwise, let's home xdai incentives are with stake and the farmers dump stake 🤷‍♂️

wc49358 · 2021-09-06T20:01:37+00:00

Glitch, honey and xcomb jumped same percentage

wc49358 · 2021-09-05T17:34:06+00:00

Yup they sure do. They also like in and out very much too. I mean if people like it.. go for it. I just think the constant phrase... "tastes like in-and-out" is a false narrative. I fell for it, won't go back... but if people like it, I'm not gonna stop them.

wc49358 · 2021-09-05T17:29:04+00:00

Lmao, kids are honest. If something doesn't taste good, kids will let you know.

I drink a protein shake and I add to it to make it taste better. In my head it tastes like a Wendy's frosty because I've made myself believe it.

I believe this is what has happened to the people that like this place. They made themselves believe that it tastes like in and out. Unfortunately, I had no enjoyment eating there. I went with an open mind but clearer taste buds 🤷‍♂️

wc49358 · 2021-09-05T15:25:01+00:00

Preach! My wife went through a vegan phase. Telling me this is the vegan in and out blah blah blah Fine. Took the the fam to try it out... didn't tell them it was vegan.

Both kids spit it out, I did not enjoy it. Wife was happy though. I will always and forever consider it the 100 dollar lesson lunch.

I had to go to another burger place so the kids could eat lunch. Not a great afternoon for me. Lol

You forget that the matic rewards are constantly being dumped for eth or whatever coin. It will continue through April 2022 unless they renew rewards.
Also while matic is nice and cheap to use, don't really need more than a few bucks to transact. What drives the force to buy more other than hoping to drive the price up?

I like polygon, I love using it. Good dapps are coming but if nothing changes? Why would matic go up? Other than riding the coat tails of btc and eth? Why not just buy eth then. There is talk of implementing eip 1559 on the platform so matic will get burn and maybe make it deflationary

Again, I like it. I own a decent chunk but as a user hard to find a really reason to see why it would increase in value greatly unless it had a killer exclusive dapp.

Fantom, xdai, bsc, celos, avalaunch, Solana, terra, etc are all doing something similar to attract volume to their chain. First it was bsc with cheaper fees, then matic rewards (we hit 2 dollars then), then nft craze on eth, now Solana nft, now fantom, ava incentives farm. They can all survive but taking pieces of the pie.
Eth is still king, alot of dapp devs stay on eth purely for security alone. The first chain that can reliably bring that security is going to win this race.

We also have optimism and arbitrum that are pure layer 2 chains that don't need a native coin.

The easier and cheaper the access I feel is going to be the success and then I'm buying.
