Katana Superdocs

Katana is a purpose‑built sector-specific chain for DeFi - a Layer‑2 that speaks standard EVM but ships with native yield primitives (WETH, AUSD), deep liquidity concentrated in a few focused apps and protocols, an incentive engine (KAT), and seamless cross‑rollup connectivity via AggLayer. These docs are designed for doers: the hackers, quants, tinkerers,and protocol engineers who want to ship, not read.

Why “Superdocs”?

  • Chat‑first – the Assistant has full context of the Katana developer ecosystem and will help you brainstorm on any problem, answer any question, and help guide you through issues. Ran into something it couldn’t solve? Let us know!
  • Live code – forkable demos, local scripts, playgrounds, contract references, and more.
  • Personalization – sign‑in with any EVM wallet to bookmark, vote, and open inline discussions (coming soon).
