How scoring works →Summary
Katana Network is a DeFi-native Ethereum Layer-2 rollup incubated by Polygon Labs and GSR, launched on Polygon's AggLayer in mid-2025. Its native governance and incentive token, KAT, had its Token Generation Event (TGE) in March 2026 and is distinct from the older Katana DEX built by Sky Mavis on the Ronin sidechain for Axie Infinity. The project carries acknowledged centralization risks at its current Stage 0 classification by L2Beat, significant post-TGE token price depreciation, and elevated smart-contract and bridge risk stemming from its multi-protocol integration architecture.
