Lending on @katana is the best place this season. We don’t run any black box vaults, everything is transparent, onchain, and secured by isolated borrow-and-lend architecture. Your assets stay visible and verifiable 24/7. Black box vaults pool user funds into opaque/off-chain

You have the power.
katana believes in defi so deeply that the chain’s token is itself a defi token. with @aragonproject, we’re announcing the vKAT armory. a system where KAT holders can lock, vote, and direct the flow of incentives across the chain and earn from their participation ⚔️

katana is unaffected by the recent NPM supply chain attack ⚔️ all systems secure. funds are safe. always double-check txs + use a hardware wallet when possible. stay sharp.
🚨 There’s a large-scale supply chain attack in progress: the NPM account of a reputable developer has been compromised. The affected packages have already been downloaded over 1 billion times, meaning the entire JavaScript ecosystem may be at risk. The malicious payload works
