Kattana - cross-chain trading terminal and trading data provider

Funding Proposals Grants

Name of Project

Kattana

Proposal overview

Kattana is a cross-chain trading terminal for DEXs and CEXs.
Working with Trading Big Data, Kattana gives users the ability to trade in real-time on over 40 DEXs across multiple networks, including Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, HECO, Elrond and Avalanche.
Up to 24 charts on one screen, 3 types of limit orders, an AI-powered news aggregator, data analysis, and other innovative tools with the trading terminal of the future!
Kattana plans to support Harmony, and see a major integration opportunity here:

  • Kattana could be a Big Data hub for Harmony infrastructure.
  • Working with Big Data, Kattana collects, processes, and structures the data for use by third parties.

The main goal for Kattana is to become a strategic infrastructure, data, and development partner with Harmony

From the very beginning, Kattana has been integrating the work with DEXs built on Harmony.
Just after that, Kattana is planning to develop and release:

  • Real-Time toolkit (like IFTT).
  • Big Data toolkit.
  • Coin service.
  • Trading and analytical tools.
  • Limit orders, and more.

In the case of Harmony, there is a need in developers to discover and interact with Harmony, and its blockchain data. Kattana tools and APIs offer the best way to attract developers to Harmony.
A big data provider is a very necessary infrastructure that becomes the entry point to the network for new developers and users as a result.

Kattana is working with big data and is able to provide any requested information and its variations at the request of third-party developers, which can be used to create new Harmony products that will accumulate the required pace of Harmony development as a whole.

The result of this will be the attraction of users to Harmony Protocol.

Finally, The trading terminal is the very necessary infrastructure that becomes the entry point
to the network for new traders.

Kattana already released a beta version to the public which is operating on the mainnet with more than 70k active users monthly and this number is growing.

Proposal ask

$250k
2 transactions in 50/50 value of $250. The 1st one after approval for a grant application. The second one is after releasing discussed features integrated on Harmony.

Metrics for success

Kattana plans to release the whole tech features in a month after the approval of a grant application. Grow the number of active users up to 250k. Provide trading data of Harmony to at least 3 future partners.

@Ilya_D can you share the 70K monthly active users charts? Which chain are you launched at and what are the Top 10 most active pairs traded?

Port grant guidelines at Apply for Grants or DAO:

Recipients of each grant for porting must have achieved product-market fit. Harmony helps scale these thriving projects via porting to our mainnet. We recommend $50-250K each over 4-8 weeks, on projects already with active 10K users, and engaging their teams in public forums. Prime areas of market growths are Play-to-Earn games, musician fan clubs, investment DAOs, portfolio dashboards, and event and collectible curators.

A typical Port grant breaks out into

  • $50K for porting to our mainnet and
  • another $25K for forming a DAO on our platform
  • we also give five additional $35K grants, totally $250K with the initial $50K+25K grants, each for running joint campaigns to double the key user metrics.

Hey @Jacksteroo, many thanks for your reply!

I will be glad to answer your questions here

  1. See attached screenshot from the internal Google Analytics tool
  2. Kattana at the current stage completely support DEXs on 6 chains - Ethereum, BSC, Polygon Network, HECO, Avalanche, and Elrond.
    Since all trading operations are processed on the DEXs side and users use crypto wallets (for example, Metamask) to log in, Kattana does not collect information about user transactions.

I would like to note that the release of limit orders from Kattana is planned in the near future, for which it will be possible to collect analytical data, for example, the number of transactions (hourly, daily, etc.) the most popular pairs, and so on.

Hey @Jacksteroo , we know that these days are crazy buys for the whole blockchain world.

On our side, we would like to continue with the proposal from Kattana, as strategic technical and development planning is currently underway.

We’d be very pleased to start implementing the proposal above asap.

Moreover, at the moment, based on the analysis of the situation, we can set the milestone up to 400k active users in the near future

This proposal does not fit a Port grant based on the guidelines at Apply for Grants or DAO for the following reasons:

We target the top 25% projects across chains with most tractions and highest potential: DeFi apps should have at least $20M total locked value or 20% sustained yields; NFT mints or games 10K daily active users; DAO $100K payouts. Highly vibrant and engaged communities usually have social metrics of 50K Twitter followers, 10K Discord members, 5000 active wallets, and 1000 Telegram daily online.

The interface is rather confusing to use, with an embed of TradingView that is non-intuitive to use. Much improvement is necessary and there is not much trading volume reported on KTN at this time.

Meanwhile, if you do decide to still launch on Harmony to expand your reach, it’s a permission-less platform which you are free to use. Majority of the DeFi platforms on Harmony have done so without our help.
