Good stuff by @Eli5defi, here on Katanađ„
The stats are solid, but what's more interesting is how @katana actually works.
Most L2s try to do everything. Katana picked one lane i.e DeFi. And that narrow focus lets them build something that actually feeds itself.
Here's how the flywheel worksđ
âą Sequencer fees
âą Bridge vault yields (bridged assets earn on ETH)
âą CoL yields
âą AUSD treasury yields (T-bill backed stablecoin)
Activity â Revenue â Deeper Liquidity â Better execution & yields â More Activity
Instead of printing tokens to incentivize growth, @katana recycles real revenue back into the system. This is why it's sustainable because it runs on productivity, not just emissions.
h/t to @blockworksres for the infographics.

â„ A Quick Look at Katanaâs October Stats.
October showed a steady shift on @katana, according to @Blockworks_' latest report.
Yields eased, but activity kept rising for the third month and productive TVL stayed near full use.
Here is Katanaâs October report in 30s đ§”
â â â
âș Revenue Breakdown
Katana generated about $463K in October revenue, down 17% from September.
âž Vault Bridge interest: $394K

âž Productive TVL rose from about 90% in early September to 99.9% by late October
â

â
âș Transaction Cost Advantage

âž @solana: ~3x higher
âž @base: ~8x higher
âž @arbitrum: ~11x higher
â
âș Why This Matters
Katana's activity continued to rise in October and marked the third straight month of growth.
Productive TVL stayed near 99.9%, with most capital deployed across core applications. Low fees kept actions cheap across the network and supported steady usage.
This is the irrefutable proof that Katana's model is working.
