The Katana platform announced the rankings of the most active participants in December. What are the highlights behind this list? Users ranked in the top 25 can earn a significant reward — the platform directly distributes a reward pool of $20,000 USDC to these active users, and these funds automatically flow into their Yearn Finance USDC vaults on the Katana app. This incentive design reflects a key concept in the DeFi ecosystem: productive TVL. In other words, not all locked funds are equal — those who actively participate in the ecosystem and contribute liquidity are more valuable. Through this approach, Katana incentivizes those who genuinely contribute to the ecosystem, rather than just passive holders. This model demonstrates the platform’s emphasis on user quality amid increasingly fierce competition in DeFi.

Top 25 with 20k USDC? Let's get it, brothers. Now we really have to participate with real effort and skill.

Finally, I see a platform that understands how to reward genuine contributors, not just those who lie flat.

It's quite interesting. Finally, a platform understands the truth that "active users are the real deal."

Speaking of this productive TVL concept, it sounds good, but I just want to ask—will the top 25 people be liquidated again later?
Not all locked funds are equal, so what about my leveraged positions? Are they not equal either? Haha
This incentive design is basically saying: don’t just lie around, you need to create value for us
It seems like risk control points are very clear, but in extreme market conditions, I don’t believe their collateral ratios can hold up
Another airdrop bait... I bet five bucks someone went all-in just to climb the rankings
Just listen, what if the borrowing rate skyrockets? When liquidations happen, it doesn’t matter if you’re in the top 25 or not
Top 25 with $20k, what about the rest? Anyway, I’ve never participated in such activities during a margin call
Guys, it’s hard to buy early knowledge— the more attractive these incentives are, the more cautious you should be
Could this be the legendary "quality users" flashing back before bottom-fishing?
Isn’t ecological contribution measured by the number of liquidations?

The top 25 can split 20k. This number looks pretty good, but when divided equally, there aren't many coins...

Hmm... this incentive model looks pretty good, but splitting only 20k among the top 25 is a bit low, averaging only $800.
