At GetBlock, we’re always expanding our supported networks with the newest generation of blockchains, where early infrastructure support is important. By adding Katana, we’re empowering developers to tap into one of the most promising DeFi‑focused Layer 2 environments today.
Katana RPC is live – Connect via GetBlock today
Starting July 2025, Katana Network is officially live on GetBlock and available for all Dedicated Node subscribers.
By offering fully managed, highly available Katana nodes, we remove a big headache for teams. GetBlock clients can now build and deploy on Katana – the premier DeFi chain on Polygon’s emerging Agglayer – without worrying about node ops, since we’ve already done the heavy lifting on infrastructure.
- Availability: Dedicated‑node service users can deploy Katana servers directly via GetBlock’s dashboard.
- Endpoints: Standard HTTP(s) and WebSocket APIs.
- Deployment: Globally distributed for low‑latency access across the US (New York), Germany (Frankfurt), and Southeast Asia (Singapore).
From day one, Katana partnered with top‑tier infrastructure providers to ensure a secure, developer‑friendly environment. By being one of the first node‑as‑a‑service platforms to list the protocol, GetBlock shows its support for early builders on Katana with reliable, hosted RPC endpoints.
Commenting on Katana’s launch, GetBlock CEO Vasily Rudomanov emphasizes the importance of this distinctive blockchain within the growing Polygon ecosystem:
Just days after Katana’s mainnet launch, GetBlock is already deploying its RPC nodes. Katana’s significance to Polygon, AggLayer, and the broader EVM ecosystem is self-evident. With a passionate community, evergreen narratives like DeFi and RWAs, and a strong network effect, Katana has everything it needs to thrive. We’re proud to serve as the infrastructure layer powering this exciting disruption.
Why Katana? Meet a DeFi centric chain of the Polygon ecosystem
Katana is a DeFi‑focused Layer 2 blockchain, combining OP‑Stack execution with ZK proofs and Polygon Agglayer’s bridge to deliver fast, secure, and cost‑effective throughput. Launched to public mainnet on June 30, 2025, the project is incubated by Polygon Labs in partnership with GSR.
Today’s DeFi is splintered across chains, DEXes, lending markets, and assets, resulting in many smaller pools and poor price efficiency. Katana tackles this inefficiency with “one chain, one goal” vision.
Katana is purpose‑built around a narrow set of core apps (initially Sushi for swaps, Morpho for lending) and Vault Bridge Protocol. They all read from and feed back into the same protocol‑owned vaults (CoL). That single, unified vault architecture is what makes Katana a DeFi engine that concentrates liquidity.
Every new dApp built on top of Katana doesn’t have to bootstrap its own pools or search for yield strategies. The chain offers production-ready DeFi rails out of the box, so builders can focus on UX, novel features, or niche markets instead of reinventing liquidity and yield, while Agglayer provides interoperability.
Adding Katana to GetBlock underscores our commitment to eliminating infrastructure friction so developers can focus on what matters: building amazing DeFi experiences, knowing their interactions with the network will be reliable and performant.
Get started: Spin up your Katana node with GetBlock
Here’s all you need to do to deploy a Katana node via GetBlock:
- Log in to your GetBlock account and navigate to “Dedicated Nodes.”
- Select the Katana network from the dropdown list.
- Configure your dedicated node by choosing the deployment region and server settings.
This way, you get a private Katana node instance – fully configured and ready for production.
As always, we welcome your feedback – let us know what you build and how we can continue to support you on your journey.
