In a report published on November 12, 2026, at 11:49 a.m. (UTC+8), Odaily said the L2 network Katana had announced three acquisitions: the Sushi deployment on Katana, renamed Katana Swap; IDEX, renamed Katana Perps; and Vault Bridge, described as providing native yield generation.
Katana also said it would remove vKAT and its voting mechanism. Under the revised design, holders can stake tokens to receive avKAT and participate in revenue distribution. The announcement describes this as a staking and revenue-sharing function, not a continuation of vKAT’s voting rights.
According to the report, starting November 17, part of the revenue from Katana Swap, Katana Perps, Vault Bridge and sequencer fees will flow to avKAT. Katana also plans to introduce programmatic buybacks later. The unstaking cooldown will fall from 45 days to 7 days.
