2 hours ago

March 23rd — Katana, a custom Layer 2 (L2) network for decentralized finance (DeFi), announced the acquisition of decentralized exchange IDEX and the launch of its native perpetual contract platform, Katana Perps. The platform’s first season points program, “The Forge,” also went live simultaneously. Katana CEO Matthew Fisher noted the move aims to give Katana greater control over its underlying protocol stack and economic engine. Katana Perps uses an order book model, offering low-latency execution and advanced order controls, with backing from institutional market makers including GSR, Selini Capital, and Auros. The platform will also integrate deeply with Katana’s KAT token, vKAT governance system, and Vault Bridge, using vbUSDC as its primary collateral asset. U.S. users currently do not have access to the platform.

March 23: The ARFC proposal to activate Aave V4 on the Ethereum mainnet has passed voting, per the Aave Governance page.

In the initial release, Aave V4 will operate on a dedicated interface. Next steps include submitting an AIP proposal with full risk parameters to formally complete code deployment and activation. Aave V4 features a modular architecture: a liquidity core holds shared liquidity, while branches define specific lending environments with governance-constrained risk exposure. The initial deployment plan establishes three cores—Core, Prime, and Plus—supporting assets like AAVE, GHO, wstETH, weETH, cbBTC, USDC, USDT, LINK, and XAUt, among others.
