Polygon & GSR Launch Katana DeFi Chain for Enhanced Liquidity and Yield

Polygon Labs and crypto trading firm GSR have teamed up to launch Katana, a new decentralized finance (DeFi) blockchain designed to address the limitations of existing DeFi platforms. The private launch is set to be followed by a public release in late June 2025. Katana aims to solve one of DeFi’s biggest problems: fragmented liquidity. It will aggregate liquidity across various applications, increasing efficiency for both trading and yield generation.
