Learn more about Katana

What is Katana?

Katana is a DeFi-focused Layer 2 blockchain built on Ethereum, incubated by Polygon Labs and GSR. It concentrates liquidity across core DeFi primitives — Sushi (spot trading), Morpho (lending/borrowing), and Vertex (perpetuals) — using Chain-Owned Liquidity and VaultBridge to generate real yield. The mainnet launched in July 2025.

How to get Katana RPC endpoint?

Open a free Chainstack account, then access your console. Hit Add node, pick the Katana network, and spin up your node with one click. Once it’s up, click Access & credentials and take your personal RPC endpoint into your dApp.

How to run a Katana node?

Chainstack offers a Dedicated Node for teams that need guaranteed performance and no throttling — ideal for DeFi protocols, yield optimizers, and trading dashboards. Running a Katana node yourself requires syncing with Katana’s OP Stack and AggLayer toolchain, including support for ZK-proof integrations. Chainstack eliminates this complexity with fully managed blockchain infrastructure, so you can focus on building.

What is Katana RPC API?

Katana is an EVM-compatible mainnet that uses ETH as its native gas token, designed for fast, low-cost transactions and seamless Ethereum tooling. Its nodes expose a standard Ethereum JSON-RPC interface, meaning any EVM-compatible library works out of the box — use ethers.js or web3.py to interact with Katana just as you would with any Ethereum-compatible chain, while also leveraging Katana’s specialized OP Stack and AggLayer toolchain.

How much does it cost to run a Katana RPC?

Running your own Katana node requires provisioning cloud infrastructure compatible with Katana’s OP Stack, which typically costs upwards of $100–200/month depending on compute and storage requirements, plus ongoing maintenance overhead. Chainstack Dedicated Node offers a cost-effective alternative.

Is Katana RPC free?

Chainstack offers a free tier that includes 3 million requests, making it easy to start building on Katana without upfront costs. Public RPC endpoints are also available for light usage, though they come with rate limits that can affect high-frequency DeFi applications. For production workloads, a dedicated node on Chainstack ensures stable, unthrottled access.

How to setup a Katana RPC?

Get the Katana endpoint in Chainstack console. Paste a reliable Katana RPC endpoint into MetaMask (switch Chain ID to 747474) or your bot’s provider URL.

Notes for Katana API

When communicating with a Katana node, the Polygon client implements a JSON-RPC specification — a communication protocol allowing one to make remote calls and execute them as if they were made locally. The best way to use the Katana API is to use a web3 library such as ethers.js for JavaScript or web3.py for Python.

EVM-compatible L2 built on Polygon CDK, focused on sustainable yield generation. Integrated with Agglayer for cross-chain interoperability.

You can also access Katana directly through the Chainstack MCP server — query live on-chain data, deploy nodes, request testnet funds from the faucet, and search Chainstack docs from Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, ChatGPT, Codex, Pi, Gemini, or any MCP-compatible or SKILL-compatible AI agent.
