DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

The Katana Services (Cayman) Ltd., a Cayman Islands company (for purposes of these terms and conditions, “Katana”, “Foundation,” “we,” “us” and “our”) provides access to a limited, non-custodial web-based user interface at www.katana.network, and at www.app.katana.network, and at the URL listed above (individually, the “Interface” and, collectively, the “Interfaces”) that may be used by you (“you,” “your,” and “yours”, and the “user”). The interface enables eligible users to (i) directly interact with certain decentralized smart contracts deployed on public blockchain networks by third parties, including without limitation the Third Parties (defined below); (b) observe and review the user’s direct interactions on Ethereum and the Katana Network, whereby the user has caused its self-custodial wallet to engage with such blockchains, and (c) locate and interact with third party protocols and interfaces that provide adjacent services in the Katana ecosystem (together with other functionalities that Katana or the Interface may provide the “Services”).

These terms and conditions, together with any documents and additional terms or policies that are appended hereto or that expressly incorporate these terms and conditions by reference as well as our privacy policy (collectively, the “Terms”), constitute a binding agreement between you and us.

These Terms are applicable to (i) all content, functionality, and features (the “Content Features”) available on any website or graphical user interface hosted by (directly, or indirectly via any agent) Katana Foundation to which the Terms are posted, including without limitation the Interface and Services, and (ii) software that Katana Foundation operates or hosts, or makes available via an Interface (the “Technology Features” and together with the Content Features, the “Features”).

NOTICE: PLEASE REVIEW THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. BY ACCESSING, INTERACTING WITH OR USING ANY INTERFACE OR ANY FEATURE, OR RELYING ON ANY SERVICE, YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO ENTER INTO A BINDING AGREEMENT AND, AS SUCH, HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS, INCLUDING THE BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER BELOW. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THESE TERMS, YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO INTERACT WITH, ACCESS OR USE ANY INTERFACE OR FEATURE.

1. Use of the Katana Interfaces; Use of Katana Protocol

Each of the Interfaces are websites, and each have different functionality - some of which only provide information while others contain Features that allow users to send messages to blockchain networks in an entirely self-directed manner.

None of the Interfaces allows us to engage in any transaction with you, nor do the Interfaces facilitate your transactions. Even when the Interfaces appear to be dynamic (e.g., updating or providing new displays when you – on your own accord – provide certain information), at no time is Katana Foundation taking action directed by you or on your behalf. In addition, if you click the “Connect Wallet” feature on one of the Interfaces such that your self-hosted cryptocurrency wallet (“Wallet”) is able to provide information to be transmitted to a blockchain network or other blockchain-based application, you should note that (except as otherwise noted herein) Katana Foundation (i) is not involved in providing or transmitting any such information to networks, (ii) cannot transmit any information to networks or otherwise assist in any transaction, (iii) never has access to and cannot control or provide guarantees relating to your Wallet and (iv) has no authority over and does not take possession or custody of your cryptoassets at any time. This also means that Katana Foundation is unable to assist with transactions: please be vigilant in interacting with any immutable blockchain technology.

You are solely responsible for familiarizing yourself with your Wallet and its safety and security features, including any private keys and passwords associated therewith. Katana Foundation will not and cannot access your private key, password, or any cryptoassets held within your Wallet nor can it reverse any transactions you initiate with your Wallet (or otherwise). Katana Foundation shall not be responsible or liable in any way for how you use your Wallet.

You should also familiarize yourself with the risks associated with transacting on blockchain networks, including but not limited to smart contract vulnerabilities, front end vulnerabilities, hacks, phishing attacks, social engineering attacks, cryptoasset volatility and transaction irreversibility. Some of the many risks are discussed in these Terms, as well as in the Katana document repository at www.docs.katana.network/katana/core-concepts/risk/#smart-contract-risk.

Katana Foundation has no ability in any way to control, maintain, provide, operate, or improve the smart contract or blockchain protocols underlying the tools and applications displayed on the Interfaces, except as noted herein. We do not effectuate, facilitate or control any transactions initiated via the Interfaces, and Katana Foundation will not be responsible for the result of any transactions, including but not limited to failed, inadvertent, or fraudulent transactions that may result in loss of funds or transaction fees or any other loss or harm to you.

All transactions broadcast to the applicable blockchain network via your Wallet may require the payment of non-refundable network transaction fees, which shall be borne entirely by you.

Certain of the Interfaces and Features covered by these Terms include, but are not limited to:

• Katana Network's provision of information and explanations about (A) software developed and deployed by Katana Foundation and its affiliates and agents, (B) the Katana ecosystem including grants, solution providers, governance and community events, and (C) other matters that touch or are relevant to different blockchain networks. This Interface also provides links to other Interfaces as well as third-party websites and interfaces.
• Katana Network Interface is a user interface that permits you to connect your Wallet in order to access Features, including those that allow you to bridge your cryptoassets between Ethereum and certain blockchain networks, to purchase certain cryptoassets such that you are able to pay transaction fees when interacting with certain blockchain networks and to view any assets that you have in your Wallet on various blockchain networks. Note that certain of these Features are accessible only via integrations with third parties who have no affiliation or relationship with Katana Foundation and your interactions with those Features will also be governed by any terms of use that the third party has made applicable.

Katana Network provides a solution for other blockchain applications to build. Except as noted herein (1) Katana Foundation does not control, maintain, provide, operate, or improve any blockchain networks nor the activity or data thereon and (2) Katana Foundation is not responsible for the activities of persons or entities who develop or use applications or who validate or verify transactions or other operations related to blockchain networks or applications operated by third parties. Katana Foundation cannot control how blockchain networks or applications operated by third parties market their blockchain networks and users should not assume any blockchain networks operated by third parties are affiliated with Katana Foundation, notwithstanding any marketing materials created by such Third-Party that could imply otherwise.

You hereby acknowledge and agree that all information provided in connection with your access and use of the Interfaces and as it relates to the Features is intended for informational purposes only. Katana Foundation strives to provide accurate information, but it does not guarantee or otherwise warrant that the information is updated, complete, or timely. For this reason, you acknowledge and agree that you are not relying on any of the information on the Interfaces for any purpose and expressly (i) disclaim any reliance on any information on the Interface or within the Features, and (ii) acknowledge that Katana Foundation will not be liable for any such information provided.

You should take all steps to independently verify any information on any Interface on which you intend to rely and should not take action based solely on any information contained on any Interfaces, including blog posts, data, articles, links to third-party content, social media content (including Discord, Lens, Farcaster or X), news feeds, tutorials and videos.

None of the information provided on the Interfaces or through the Features should be construed as professional or investment advice, and Katana Foundation does not owe any duties and does not have any obligations to you based on the information provided on the Interfaces or through the Features.

None of the information provided on the Interfaces or any of the Features shall be interpreted as an invitation or inducement to (A) exercise any rights to acquire, dispose of, underwrite, or convert any cryptoassets or digital assets or (B) buy, sell, or induce a user to buy or sell any cryptoassets or digital assets.

2. VaultBridge; Bridging Assets to Katana

There is no “Katana Bridge” that is owned or operated by Katana. Katana itself does not receive user deposits, nor bridge user deposits from various chains to the Katana Network. Users may bridge assets to and from Katana Network via various means, including by utilizing various interfaces and protocols made available by Third Parties (defined below). Katana does not control, operate, or guarantee any Third-Party bridge, solver, smart contract, or interface that users may utilize to bridge assets between the Katana Network and any other chain. Katana does not provide user support services for bridging assets on or off the Katana Network. Certain Third Parties (defined below) that may provide software, smart contracts, protocols, or services supporting aspects of bridging may, in some cases, provide certain forms of user support. Users are required to review, research, and agree to, the applicable terms governing any services of Third Parties before bridging assets onto the Katana Network.

The Interface enables users to access the open-source, smart contract system known as “VaultBridge”. The VaultBridge open source software was developed by Polygon Labs, but no instance of VaultBridge is controlled or operated by Polygon Labs. Neither is VaultBridge owned by, controlled by, or operated by Katana. No single person or entity controls or operates the VaultBridge smart contract, and it is decentralized.

VaultBridge supports bridging activity for many chains. VaultBridge does not insure or guarantee user assets. The VaultBridge smart contract does not, itself, custody user assets. VaultBridge operates differently than many other Web3 bridges because a user’s deposit is not stored in the VaultBridge smart contract. Deposits utilizing VaultBridge are routed from the user's self-custodial wallet into external third party vaults listed here (the "Third Party Vaults"), and are subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Third Party Vaults and their protocols.

Depositing into Third Party Vaults

To bridge an asset to a new chain, users deposit the underlying collateral into a Third Party Vault via the VaultBridge smart contract. which in turn mints a Vault Bridge token (“vbToken”) in a 1:1 ratio, as a deposit token.indicating that the user has made a deposit into the applicable Third Party Vault.

Withdrawing from Third Party Vaults

To withdraw the underlying collateral, held in a Third Party Vault, the user may present the vbToken, and the VaultBridge smart contract system will communicate the user’s withdraw request to the applicable Third Party Vault, and thereafter the Third Party Vault protocol will, according to the terms and conditions of such Third Party Vault, route the deposit directly from the Third Party Vault to the user’s non-custodial wallet.

3. Third Parties; Fees

Various third parties services support the Katana Protocol and Interface, and in some cases have been integrated in the Interface, and enable the Services, and contribute to the Katana Network and Katana Ecosystem (“Third Party” and “Third Party Services”). Deposited funds may be subject to certain Third-Party control and/or strategy discretion. Katana does not custody bridged assets or control Third Parties. Decisions made by unaffiliated protocol curators or third-party infrastructure providers may affect the performance and recoverability of assets. For additional information on the services and terms and conditions of such services provided by the Curators, and associated risks related to these third-party service providers, please see the terms of conditions of each relevant Third Party. For the convenience of users, a non-exhaustive list material Third Party providers that support the Katana protocol can be found here.

Certain third party “curators” will provide services to support the Third PartyVaults utilized by VaultBridge users, and will otherwise engage in yield-generating strategies related to the deployment of user’s deposits (“Curators”). While curators define risk parameters, including collateral thresholds and supported markets, their services include risk related to the use of smart contracts, and the use of Chainlink price feeds and other oracle solutions for high-liquidity/high-volume designs. While these Curators operate independently based on risk and strategy models, Katana does not control their actions, and users may be exposed to the outcomes of such decisions, including potential disruptions or reductions in the value or availability of bridged assets. The list of current Curators and their terms can be found here. By using the Interface, you acknowledge and agree to review, research and agree to the various terms of use that govern each such service by Third Parties, including the code that governs applicable Third-Party protocols, prior to using the Interface.

The Third Party Vaults may, according to the parameters and code of such Third Party Vaults, and the yield-generating strategies of the Curators, generate yield on their behalf from the deposits made by users via VaultBridge. These vaults are operated by independent protocol teams, and neither Polygon Labs nor Katana control the vault strategies. Assets remain in the vault smart contracts, not in the custody of Polygon Labs, or Katana.

Such yield may be distributed among the Vault Bridge associated third party as follows: (i) Third Party Vaults and the Curators will receive a portion of such yield as compensation for their services, (ii) certain portion of such yield will be distributed to various blockchain foundations for the benefit of each such foundation’s ecosystem. Therefore, yield generated from user deposits may benefit users indirectly via the foundation of the chain to which the user bridges, but yield will not necessarily be sent to users directly from Morpho or the VaultBridge related to any deposit facilitated by VaultBridge.

TERMS

These Terms, together with any documents and additional terms they expressly incorporate by reference, which includes any other terms and conditions or other agreement that the Foundation posts publicly or makes available to you, are entered into between the Foundation and you concerning your use of, and access to, the Interface provided by the Foundation and the Services.

4. KAT; vKAT; avKAT TOKENS

4.1 KAT is the native fungible token issued on the Network, based on the ERC-20 standard.

4.2 KAT tokens are designed to be used on the Katana protocol. There is no guarantee that KAT Tokens will function as intended or as described on any website or in other communications, or will be maintained and further developed according to current plans. The use, functionality, and integrations of the KAT token may expand or contract over time by the products and bridges built and managed by various third party builders on Katana. KAT does not govern technical parameters or developments other than as set forth in this Section 4.

4.3 vKAT. KAT can also be staked to receive vKAT. Holders of vKAT may vote on how KAT emissions are allocated among third-party DeFi protocols integrated into the Network. Voting power is determined by the amount of vKAT held by the user. Additional vKAT is rewarded to users that stake KAT.

4.4 avKAT. vKAT can be converted into avKAT by enabling the automated voting feature, which authorizes one of the Network’s Third-Party relayers (“Relayer”) to casts votes periodically and programmatically, following the Network’s rules for allocating KAT emissions across integrated third-party DeFi protocols. Votes are cast proportionally to the user’s avKAT balance, ensuring that automated voting mirrors the user’s effective stake-derived voting power.

4.5 The user retains the ability to disable automated voting or switch to manual voting at any time, subject to protocol rules.

4.6 KAT, vKAT, and avKAT-related features may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time.

13. ADDITIONAL RISKS RELATED TO THE INTERFACE AND THE SERVICES

13.1. You acknowledge and understand that the Interface and the Services could be impacted by one or more regulatory inquiries or regulatory actions, which could impede or limit the ability of the Foundation to continue to make available its proprietary software and, thus, could impede or limit your ability to access or use the Interface or the Services.

13.2. You acknowledge and understand that cryptography is a progressing field with advances in code cracking or other technical advancements, such as the development of quantum computers, which may present risks to Digital Assets and the smart contracts to which the Interface and the Services facilitate access, and could result in the theft or loss of your Digital Assets.

13.3. You acknowledge that the Interface and the Services are subject to flaws and that you are solely responsible for evaluating any code provided by the Services or Interface. This warning and others the Foundation provides in these Terms in no way evidence or represent an on-going duty to alert you to all of the potential risks of utilizing the Services or the Interface.

13.4. Although we intend to provide accurate and timely information on the Interface, the Interface and other information available when using the Services may not always be entirely accurate, complete, or current and may also include technical inaccuracies or typographical errors. To continue to provide you with as complete and accurate information as possible, information may be changed or updated from time to time, including, without limitation, information regarding our policies. Accordingly, you should verify all information before relying on it, and all decisions based on information contained on the Interface or as part of the Services are your sole responsibility.

13.5. Any reference to a type of Digital Asset on the Interface or otherwise during the use of the Services does not indicate our approval or disapproval of the technology on which the Digital Asset relies, and should not be used as a substitute for your understanding of the risks specific to each type of Digital Asset.

13.6. We must comply with Applicable Law, which may require us to, upon request by government agencies, take certain actions or provide information, which may not be in your best interests.

13.7. You hereby assume, and agree that the Foundation will have no responsibility or liability for, the risks set forth in these Terms, including this Section 13x. You hereby irrevocably waive, release and discharge all claims, whether known or unknown to you, against the Foundation, its launch partners, its affiliates, and their respective shareholders, members, council, directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives, suppliers, service providers, and contractors related to any of the risks set forth in these Terms, including this Section 13.

14. ADDITIONAL RISKS RELATED TO KAT TOKENS

14.1. KAT Tokens are designed to be used on the Katana protocol once launched. There can be no assurance that KAT Tokens will function as intended or as described on any website or in other communications, or will be maintained and further developed according to current plans.

14.2. Significant technological, market and economic factors may adversely affect your ability to use KAT Tokens:

15. ADDITIONAL LEGAL AND REGULATORY RISKS

15.1. Risks of New & Evolving Laws and Regulations There is significant risk surrounding the ongoing development of regulatory frameworks governing blockchain technology across jurisdictions, including in the United States, and as the blockchain, Digital Assets, and web3 industry continues to grow, regulatory scrutiny may increase. The Foundation, the Interface, the Services or other entities or assets associated with the foregoing may be found to be subject to certain laws or regulatory regimes that could adversely impact you. Additionally, laws or interpretations may change and the Foundation, the Interface, the Services or other entities or assets associated with the foregoing may be subject to new or changed laws or regulations in the future. Any restrictive or prohibitive legislation or regulation on blockchains or Digital Assets could impair the Foundation, the Interface, the Services or other entities or assets associated with the foregoing. To the extent licenses, permits, or other authorizations are required in one or more jurisdictions in which the Foundation is deemed to operate, there is no guarantee that the Foundation or another party will be able to secure such licenses, permits, or authorizations in order for the Foundation, the Interface and the Services to continue to operate. Significant changes may need to be made to comply with any licensing and/or registration requirements (or any other legal or regulatory requirements) in order to avoid violating Applicable Law or because of the cost of such compliance. Uncertainty in how the legal and regulatory environment will develop could negatively impact the development, growth, and utilization of the Interface, the Services or other entities or assets associated with the foregoing.

15.2. Risks of KAT Tokens or KAT Token Transactions Being Deemed Securities or Other Regulated Instruments The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and its staff have taken the position that certain Digital Assets and Digital Asset Transactions fall within the definition of a “security” under the U.S. federal securities laws. The legal test for determining whether any given Digital Asset or transaction is a security is a highly complex, fact-driven analysis that evolves with U.S. case law and developments over time, and the outcome(s) or conclusion(s) of any such legal analysis may be uncertain or evolve in ways that are difficult to predict. The SEC generally does not provide advance guidance on or confirmation of whether any particular token or transaction is or may be a security. Furthermore, the SEC's views in this area have evolved over time and it is difficult to predict the direction or timing of any continuing evolution. It is also possible that legislative or judicial developments or a change in the governing administration or the appointment of new SEC commissioners could substantially impact the views of the SEC and its staff. Further, certain Digital Assets or transactions may be deemed to be other types of regulated financial instruments or transactions in the U.S.; or securities or other regulated financial instruments or transactions in other jurisdictions. As a result, certain Digital Assets or transactions may be deemed to be “securities” or other regulated financial instruments or transactions under the laws of some jurisdictions, but not others. Various foreign jurisdictions may, in the future, adopt additional laws, regulations, or directives that affect the characterization of certain Digital Assets or transactions as “securities” or other regulated financial instruments. The classification of a Digital Asset or transaction as a security or regulated financial instrument under Applicable Law has wide-ranging implications for the regulatory obligations that could be imparted on the Foundation, Interface or Services users, or holders of KAT Tokens, including obligations that could make the Interface or the Services not viable to continue to operate or negatively impact the development, growth, and utilization of the Interface and Services, and liquidity and market sentiment around KAT Tokens.

15.3 Risk of Third-Party Illegal Activity. Third parties may exploit the Interface, the Services, the vaults or KAT Tokens to facilitate illegal activity including fraud, money laundering, gambling, tax evasion, sanctions evasion, and scams. If any third party engages in such illegal activities, that and the legal and regulatory consequences of those activities could negatively impact the development, growth, and utilization of the Interface, the Services, the vaults and KAT Tokens. While we do not control your activities or the activities of others who use the Interface, the Services, the vaults or KAT Tokens, such use for illegal or improper purposes could subject us, you, the Interface, the Services or Yearn to claims, individual and class action lawsuits, and government and regulatory investigations, prosecutions, enforcement actions, inquiries, or requests that could result in liability and reputational harm.

Certain activities that may be legal in one jurisdiction may be illegal in another jurisdiction, and certain activities that are at one time legal may in the future be deemed illegal in the same jurisdiction. In the event that a user found responsible for intentionally or inadvertently violating the laws in any jurisdiction, you or the Foundation may be subject to governmental inquiries, enforcement actions, prosecution, or held secondarily liable for aiding or facilitating such activities.

15.4 Risks Associated with the Tax Treatment of Digital Assets. Due to the new and evolving nature of Digital Assets and the absence of comprehensive legal guidance with respect to Digital Asset transactions, the taxation of Digital Assets is uncertain, and it is unclear what guidance may be issued in the future on the treatment of Digital Asset transactions for tax purposes. Guidance under, or changes in, the tax laws applicable to of Digital Assets, including KAT Tokens, or the Foundation and/or its activities and transactions, either directly or through subsidiaries, could adversely impact the value of KAT Tokens or your ability to use or engage with the Interface or Services, or in certain types of transactions. The Foundation or its affiliates may also have tax reporting obligations in various jurisdictions with respect to KAT Tokens or other Digital Assets associated with the Interface and the Services. You should consult a tax advisor with respect to the tax treatment of Digital Assets in your jurisdiction.

15.5 Risk of Slippage in digital assets deposits. Deposits made in cryptomay be subject to price fluctuations between the time of user transaction submission and the backend processing of such deposits. Extreme market conditions could lead to a mismatch. Users should, therefore, consider market conditions and understand that this mechanism is intended to balance fairness and platform integrity under volatile market scenarios.

16. INDEMNIFICATION

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Foundation, its affiliates, and its and its affiliates' respective stockholders, members, council, directors, officers, managers, employees, attorneys, agents, representatives, suppliers, and contractors (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) from any claim, demand, lawsuit, action, proceeding, investigation, liability, damage, loss, cost or expense, including without limitation attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to (a) your use of, or conduct in connection with, the Interface or the Services; (b) Digital Assets associated with your wallet, including, without limitation, USDC, KAT Tokens and NFTs, or Core App Tokens; (c) any feedback or user content you provide to the Foundation, if any, concerning the Interface or the Services; (d) your violation of these Terms; or (e) your infringement or misappropriation of the rights of any other person or entity. If you are obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party, the Foundation (or, at its discretion, the applicable Indemnified Party) will have the right, in its sole discretion, to control any action or proceeding and to determine whether the Foundation wishes to settle, and if so, on what terms, and you agree to corporate with the Foundation in the defense.

The disclaimer of implied warranties contained herein may not apply if and to the extent such warranties cannot be excluded or limited under the Applicable Law of the jurisdiction in which you reside.

18. EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL AND RELATED DAMAGES

In no event shall the Foundation, its affiliates, its suppliers and contractors, and its and its affiliates', suppliers' and contractors' respective stockholders, members, directors, officers, managers, employees, attorneys, agents, representatives, suppliers, and contractors (collectively, the “Risk Limited Parties”) be liable for any incidental, indirect, special, punitive, consequential or similar damages or liabilities whatsoever (including, without limitation, damages for loss of fiat, assets, data, information, revenue, opportunities, use, goodwill, profits or other business or financial benefit) arising out of or in connection with the Interface and the Services, any execution or settlement of a transaction, any performance or non-performance of the Services, your Digital Assets or any other product, service or other item provided by or on behalf of the Foundation, whether under contract, tort (including negligence), civil liability, statute, strict liability, breach of warranties, or under any other theory of liability, and whether or not we have been advised of, knew of or should have known of the possibility of such damages and notwithstanding any failure of the essential purpose of these Terms or any limited remedy hereunder nor is the Foundation in any way responsible for the execution or settlement of transactions between users of the Foundation-developed open-source software.

19. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

In no event shall the Foundation's aggregate liability (together with its affiliates, including its and its affiliates' respective stockholders, members, directors, managers, officers, employees, attorneys, agents, representatives, suppliers, or contractors) arising out of or in connection with the Interface and the Services (and any of their content and functionality), any performance or nonperformance of the Services, your Digital Assets, or any other product, service or other item provided by or on behalf of the Foundation, whether under contract, tort (including negligence), civil liability, statute, strict liability or other theory of liability exceed in aggregate $100.
