Get Ready for a KAT-tastic Airdrop: POL Stakers, You Won’t Want to Miss This! 🎉

by

Well, well, well! Look who’s just launched their private mainnet—Polygon-backed Katana Network! 🎊 And guess what? A fabulous 15% of the upcoming KAT token supply is about to rain down on POL stakers on Ethereum. Yes, you heard that right! Grab your umbrellas! ☔

On May 28, the Katana Network decided it was time to unlock some serious liquidity and sustainable yield across the AggLayer ecosystem. Because, you know, who doesn’t want a little extra cash flow? 💾 The Katana Foundation has announced that around 15% of the KAT token supply will be airdropped to those lucky POL stakers on Ethereum, including all you liquid staking protocol enthusiasts out there. Lucky ducks! 🩆

Mark your calendars, folks! A public mainnet release is set for late June 2025. But don’t just sit there twiddling your thumbs—there’s a pre-deposit campaign happening right now! You can deposit Ethereum (ETH), USD Coin (USDC), Tether (USDT), and Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) ahead of the grand opening. It’s like a VIP party, and you’re on the guest list! 🎉

Developed by the Katana Foundation and incubated by the ever-so-fabulous Polygon Labs and crypto market maker GSR, Katana is here to improve capital efficiency across blockchain networks. It’s like the personal trainer of the crypto world, providing unified, deep liquidity and sustainable yield generation. đŸ’Ș It uses AggLayer as its canonical bridge and integrates VaultBridge to enable real yield generation. Talk about a multitasker! Katana is also the first AggLayer CDK chain to be deployed using the OP Stack, kicking off the “multistack era” for AggLayer. Sounds fancy, right? đŸ„‚

Polygon Labs has been flexing its technical muscles in this development, while Conduit is supporting the chain’s rollup infrastructure and sequencing. And let’s not forget GSR, who’s playing both advisor and liquidity provider to ensure everything runs smoothly from day one. Teamwork makes the dream work! đŸ€

Katana is just one of the many projects sprouting from Polygon’s AggLayer Breakout Program, which launched in April this year to support high-impact blockchain initiatives. Upon graduation, these projects commit to distributing between 5% and 15% of their token supply to POL stakers on Ethereum. It’s like a graduation party, but with a lot more crypto! 🎓

Privado ID and Miden were among the early birds to graduate from the AggLayer Breakout Program, both promising airdrops to POL stakers. And now, with the Katana Foundation confirming its airdrop, POL is poised for a potential rally! Investors might just rush to buy and stake the token to qualify for the upcoming KAT distribution. The POL token is currently trading at $0.22—down 1% on the day and 8% over the past week. But hey, it’s not about the price; it’s about the journey, right? 🚀
