Foresight News reported that the DeFi customizable L2 network Katana has announced the acquisition of the decentralized exchange IDEX and officially launched its native perpetual contract platform, Katana Perps. At the same time, the platform's first season points program, "The Forge," has been launched. Katana CEO Matthew Fisher stated that this move is intended to give Katana greater control over the underlying protocol stack and economic engine. Katana Perps adopts an order book model, providing low-latency execution and advanced order control, and has gained support from institutional market makers such as GSR, Selini Capital, and Auros. In addition, Katana Perps will be deeply integrated with the KAT token, the vKAT governance system, and the Vault Bridge, and will use vbUSDC as the main margin asset. The platform is currently not available to users in the United States.
