Katana | KAT Tokenomics — 10B Supply, Allocation & Unlocks
Explore KAT tokenomics: fixed 10 billion supply, community and ecosystem allocations, core app incentives, contributor schedules and unlock mechanics.
Fixed supply
KAT has a fixed total supply of 10,000,000,000 tokens. The supply was minted up front and the tokenomics revolve around allocation, distribution and unlock schedules rather than open-ended inflation.
Allocation overview
The largest allocation is the Ecosystem & Community Treasury at 48.35%. Core Contributors receive 15.65%. Community POL stakers receive 15% as vKAT. Liquidity Mining for core apps receives 10%. Retail & Institutional Users receive 10%, and the Public Sale represents 1%.
| Allocation | Share |
|---|---|
| Ecosystem & Community Treasury | 48.35% |
| Core Contributors | 15.65% |
| Community / POL stakers | 15% |
| Liquidity Mining / core apps | 10% |
| Retail & Institutional Users | 10% |
| Public Sale | 1% |
Core app incentives
The liquidity mining allocation is intended for distribution through core applications over time rather than a single fixed unlock. Documented allocations include incentives for Sushi, Morpho and a combined pool for perps, launchpad and yield applications.
Unlock logic
Different allocations unlock on different schedules. Some user-focused allocations became available around token transferability, while contributor, treasury and community allocations can follow multi-year schedules. This matters for circulating supply analysis and should be distinguished from total supply.
Why tokenomics matter for DeFi
KAT is not only an asset allocation problem. The way liquidity mining and staking rewards are distributed affects which pools attract liquidity, how users vote and how incentives are coordinated across core markets.
How to analyze KAT supply
For market analysis, separate total supply, circulating supply, unlocked supply and actively distributed incentives. A fixed total supply does not mean the entire supply is immediately liquid or available to trade.
