Rewriting DeFi: Powering Swaps, Real Yield, and Liquidity Flywheel on the DeFi-First Chain
Sushi is proud to announce its exclusive integration with Katana, the DeFi-first chain for boosted real yield and deep liquidity. As the exclusive DEX and aggregator at launch, Sushi will serve as the network's liquidity engine, enabling sustainable, capital-efficient trading and LPing across Katana from day one.
“This isn’t just another chain integration; it’s a statement about where DeFi is headed.” — Jared Grey, Managing Director of Sushi Labs
Built Different: DeFi with Real Yield and Real Alignment
Incubated by Polygon Labs and GSR, and a Polygon AggLayer Breakout Program graduate, Katana is purpose-built for productivity — designed to turn every token, vault, and transaction into working capital.
With innovations like Chain-Owned Liquidity (CoL) and VaultBridge, Katana rewires DeFi to reward users sustainably backed by real economic activities. Sushi is a natural fit to bring that vision to life.
Unlike traditional models that rely on temporary incentives and mercenary yield, Katana deploys chain-owned capital directly into liquidity pools, generating yield for the ecosystem. Meanwhile, VaultBridge funnels cross-chain assets into productive use the moment they arrive.
This creates a self-reinforcing loop where value flows back to users, protocols, and the chain.
What Sushi Powers on Katana
Sushi isn’t just integrated into Katana — it powers the system.
As the execution layer for trades and LPing, Sushi is where liquidity is activated and yield begins. Fully composable with Katana’s DeFi stack, it connects capital, apps, and users into one place.
As a core piece of infrastructure, Sushi is where it all begins:
It’s where VaultBridge capital first lands and gets to work.
It’s where CoL is deployed to generate real, sustainable yield.
It’s where trading volume is captured and protocol revenue flows back into the system, strengthening the sustainable liquidity loop for LPs.
By powering this system, Sushi transforms liquidity into a regenerative asset, not a short-term incentive.
Rewriting DeFi
With its permissionless DEX and aggregator infrastructure, Sushi brings years of battle-tested execution and innovative liquidity programs to a chain built for the next generation of DeFi.
With Katana’s productivity-focused architecture and Sushi’s infrastructure, the two are rewriting DeFi for good.
This isn’t just another chain partnership — it’s DeFi that lasts. And it starts today.
