Katana is an EVM-compatible network purpose-built for DeFi, concentrating liquidity and directing chain-level yield back to users and applications to deliver deep, sustainable onchain markets.
See the Katana API quickstart guide to start building on Katana.
The Katana API lets you interact with the Katana mainnet. You can execute transactions, query onchain data, and interact with the Katana network using the JSON-RPC standard.
Yes, Katana is EVM compatible.
Katana uses the JSON-RPC API standard. This API enables blockchain interaction on the Katana network, letting you read block and transaction data, query chain information, execute smart contracts, and store data onchain.
Katana supports standard Ethereum JSON-RPC methods. Some chain-specific methods may vary. Check the Katana API endpoints documentation for a complete list.
When you access the Katana network through a node provider like Alchemy, you use an API key to send transactions and retrieve data. We recommend you sign up for a free API key.
Common Ethereum libraries like ethers.js are compatible with Katana, given its EVM nature.
