About

katana's edge we designed katana for what actually matters to defi users and builders: real yield deep liquidity productive capital katana is built to make capital productive by aligning users, core apps, and protocol revenue yield: from protocol-native revenue liquidity: owned by the network incentives: sustained, and flowing to active users via core apps and KAT holders via vote-escrow no token printing, no mercenary capital, no fractured liquidity just a system designed for the total value not to be locked, but productive: productive TVL

VibeJam – Build Freely with the Katana Starter Kit For flowstate coders, AI prompt wranglers, and vibesmiths who want to create without constraints. The VibeJam celebrates experimental, creative, and playful building using the Katana Starter Kit - a local, LLM-enabled developer kit that spins up a snapshot of the Katana chain for fast iteration and testing. There’s no rigid spec and no requirement to use specific primitives. Just build something cool, composable, and fun. Your project might be: - A new DeFi primitive with a unique mechanism - An AI-agent flow using Katana state - A meme-based yield game - A tool that helps other Katana hackers - A custom frontend for a Katana vault The only requirements: - Use the Katana Starter Kit - Deploy something to Katana Tips: - Join us for Forge on July 1st for demos, onboarding, and free Cursor licenses for qualifying hackers - Need inspiration? Explore the Katana Flywheel simulator (https://flywheel.bruno.id) or browse the starter kit repo for example contracts

Qualification Requirements

Judging Criteria: - Technical Creativity - Reusability: Can others build on your hack? Did you build on others? - Vibe: Is it fun, useful, or meme-worthy? - Use of the Starter Kit: Bonus points for creative LLM flows or integrations with Katana primitives (extra points if you make a PR for the kit, or a constructive suggestion)
