One of the easiest ways to get started on Katana is by using the official Katana App to deposit assets directly into yield-generating vaults.
This isn’t just a deposit — it’s an activation. Your assets are put to work immediately via VaultBridge, earning yield from the moment they arrive. No bridging steps. No idle capital. Just smart, productive deposits.
