Katana Expressed:  Katana is an asset management protocol on Solana, enabling users to passively earn the best yields in DeFi.  They are building a comprehensive suite of investment products, starting with structured products and automated vault strategies.

Katana’s mission is to simplify yield generation for their users while maximizing returns at the same time.  They are providing innovative strategies across the risk spectrum.  All of these are accessible using an intuitive user interface.

Their structured products provide a source of sustainable yield while abstracting away the complexity of the underlying derivative strategies.  Users will be able to reap the benefits of derivatives without interfacing with or having deep knowledge of the relevant derivative protocol.

Alternatively, the Katana vaults and strategies span a wider array of farming opportunities and serve as a passive method to earn yield on a chosen base asset strategy which will be changed as new opportunities arise, enabling depositors to consistently earn the best yields available.

They have submitted an early version of our structured products to the Ignition hackathon.  The Solana community are checking out the submission to consider giving the vote.

For clarity, the Ignition Hackathon had several tracks like DeFi track, Web3 Track, Gaming Track, and Digital Art and Collectibles Track. The sponsor prize is provided by Serum, Pyth Network, Wormhole, Raydium, Stardust, Solend, Mango, Chainlink, PsyOptions, Degen Ape Academy, Cope, Marinade Finance, HXRO.

Hackathons are about learning and having fun.  One of the participants in the event are KATANA.

Anatoly Yakovenko, CEO of Solano Musings:  Proof of dog, can someone build an oracle for unique dog identity? Hash to curve point function that takes a dog as input. The real trilemma, cost to destroy all valid replicas, cost to censor messages in real time from reaching all valid replicas, and cheap hardware.

Community response:  Hash to curve point function that takes a dog as input. Train your pup to scan before entering through the doggy door and boom, no more raccoons sneaking in to eat your lucky charms! Love it when crypto offers IRL solutions.

Definitely something the ecosystem needs in this time of battle, where the crypto wars lead to the rise of Solana.

What is the reward for keeping an oracle feed for unique identity honest? Is it less than the incentive to lie?

For those who are new, Solana is the fastest blockchain in the world and the fastest growing ecosystem in crypto, with over 400 projects spanning DeFi, NFTs, Web3 and more.
