My journey with Api3 has come to a close. I'm incredibly proud of what we accomplished together as a team, and I'm grateful to end this chapter alongside people I now call friends. On this new journey, I'm excited to announce that I've joined @Katana network as their Developer Relations Engineer. So why Katana in the sea of layer 2s? As many of you know, I'm deeply involved in DeFi, both as an active user and through managing yield strategies for @developer_dao to fund community initiatives. After exploring what Katana brings to the table as a chain, I'm convinced it has the potential to become the premier destination for sustainable, long-term yield generation in the space. To all the builders, founders, curators, and communities out there: I want to hear from you. My DMs are open. See you on the battlefield, Samurai. ⚔️

Polygon-incubated Katana blockchain acquires IDEX, rolls out new perps offering theblock.co/post/394652/po…

@katana Official Perps dex is LIVE!!! Yes, it's good. check it out 👇

Introducing @KatanaPerps ⚔️ Perps are one of DeFi’s biggest revenue engines. And under the Katana brand means owning more of the stack and tying it directly to the flywheel. Season 1 is live.

Vault Bridge-curated vaults on Ethereum and those in the Katana app had zero exposure to USR, wstUSR or RLP. Katana vaults remain unaffected and fully collateralized. All positions are healthy, operational, and secure. Katana ⚔️

Side note Yield for Katana’s form of USDC (Vault Bridge USDC) is driven by on-chain activity and is not susceptible to the outcome of the CLARITY Act in the same way others are

@jose_donpablo @katana 💯

@Billyjitsu @katana Got it. As you see i bought 280 KAT and staked it. Isn’t that enough to qualify for this status?

Final moments before "Founder Staker" status closes on @katana Biggest win is getting some of those instant exits. Check it out here: app.katana.network/stake

@jose_donpablo @katana You can only stake KAT. vKAT and avKAT are already staked versions

@Billyjitsu @katana I already staked 286 avKAT, what should i do next ? Can't stake my vKATs i think

@jose_donpablo @katana You have about an hour

@Billyjitsu @katana Does that mean I can’t be a founding staker now?

@azianNFT @katana Minimum 100 KAT

@Billyjitsu @katana How much Kat needed for staking?

@KavanaughMekel @katana 🙏 thanks you! More dev support incoming now that we are live.

@Billyjitsu @katana Great professional video. The how to for Devs.

Devs! $KAT is live on @katana For those looking for the full features you can't get on testnet, I created a nice tool to go through all the features. Discover what you can do, and of course it's AI friendly 👇

Dang Chuck Norris passed away. As a life long martial artist, I grew up watching his movies. He was actually a legit guy. Shout out to one of the most influential guys in modern martial arts. He also helped the Machado brothers startup in SoCal, which also my BJJ lineage.

@katana Link please

A new [redacted] topic has opened in the Katana Community Telegram 👀

Stake your KAT and decide where the emissions go.

Go do some quests!

@ritzy_p @BeaconDeFi 🙏🙏

@BeaconDeFi Aye!! Gracias for the shoutout!!! Love seeing this finally happen and of course @Billyjitsu breaking things down and dropping 💎💎

Oh, you thought we were done with just the launch?

Everyone sees the token go live. Nobody sees the 3am Slack messages, the audit re-runs, the moment your Senior Protocol Engineer says "I found something" and your stomach drops. We shipped Katana today. OP Stack + SP1 proofs + Agglayer. The boring work is done. Now the fun part.
