L2 network Katana said it has completed three acquisitions: the Sushi deployment on Katana, now called Katana Swap; IDEX, now Katana Perps; and Vault Bridge, described as a source of native yield.
Katana also outlined changes to KAT’s token economics. It said vKAT and the voting mechanism will be retired, while holders will be able to participate in yield by staking into avKAT. Beginning November 17, a portion of fees from Swap, Perps, Vault Bridge and the sequencer will flow to avKAT. Katana said programmatic buybacks will follow, but gave no start date in the report. The unstaking cooldown will fall from 45 days to 7 days.
Katana did not specify the share of fees directed to avKAT or the size of future buybacks in this announcement.
