Kaia Mainnet Launch: Mini Dapp Leads the New Paradigm of on-chain rise
Kaia Ecosystem Development Report: A New Paradigm of On-Chain Rise Centered on Mini Dapp
1. Overview of the Kaia Blockchain Ecosystem
1.1 Origins and Team Background
Kaia is a new ecosystem formed by the merger of the blockchain projects Klaytn, led by tech giants Kakao and LINE, and Finschia. Klaytn was launched in June 2019 by Ground X, a blockchain subsidiary of the Kakao Group, with early governance alliances including well-known Korean companies such as LG Electronics, Celltrion, and Netmarble. Finschia, on the other hand, is a blockchain platform launched by LINE in December 2022, which originated from the LINK chain launched in August 2018.
In January 2024, the Klaytn and Finschia foundations respectively proposed a mainnet merger to the community, aiming to create "the largest Web3 network in Asia." After the proposal is approved, the two chains will officially merge at the end of August 2024, launching the brand new Kaia mainnet. The merged Kaia chain will be managed uniformly by the newly established Kaia DLT foundation, integrating the core advantages of Klaytn and Finschia in technical architecture and governance mechanisms.
Kaia is positioned as an L1 blockchain focused on large-scale applications, featuring high TPS and developer-friendly characteristics. Its core advantage lies in a mature SDK system and deep integration with KakaoTalk and LINE platforms, supporting various decentralized applications to run directly on these mainstream social platforms.
1.2 Important Development History
1.3 Main Features
Kaia adopts a hierarchical node architecture, including core units, consensus nodes, proxy nodes, and endpoint nodes. The mainnet uses an improved Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus algorithm, achieving a block time of 1 second and instant finality, with a theoretical peak throughput of about 4000 TPS. Kaia is EVM compatible, supports smart contracts in the Ethereum ecosystem, and integrates with various cross-chain bridges.
Kaia closely integrates with the LINE instant messaging ecosystem, allowing developers to directly deploy native Dapps within the chat application by providing SDK/API. In May 2025, Tether officially issues native USDT on the Kaia blockchain, providing users with stablecoin services.
Compared to other mainstream public chains, Kaia focuses on the Asian market, bringing the massive user bases of Kakao and LINE into the Web3 ecosystem. Its deep integration of social platforms and product design targeted at ordinary users give Kaia a unique advantage in promoting the large-scale application of blockchain.
2. Progress of Ecological Construction
2.1 Kaia Wave Project and Mini Dapp Ecosystem
After the launch of the Kaia mainnet in August 2024, the Kaia Wave program was simultaneously released, enabling Web3 developers to build Mini Dapps for LINE Messenger users through the NEXT WEB SDK developed by LINE NEXT. The first batch of Mini Dapp projects went live in the first quarter of 2025, covering multiple niche tracks.
Kaia has launched the Mini Dapp Growth Competition in collaboration with the LINE Dapp Portal, focusing on the monthly active users of the project and the rise of on-chain token holders. So far, two rounds have been successfully held, continuously driving the accelerated growth of the Kaia on-chain Mini Dapp ecosystem.
The simultaneously launched Dapp Portal serves as a Dapp directory and entry point accessible directly through LINE Messenger, providing users with a one-stop service experience, including Dapp discovery, downloads, usage rewards, and virtual asset trading.
2.2 Kaia Stablecoin plan
In May 2025, Kaia reached a strategic cooperation with Tether to natively issue USDT on the Kaia blockchain. These native USDT have been integrated into the Mini Dapp ecosystem within LINE Messenger, enabling the daily use of stablecoins. Major application scenarios include Mini Dapp task rewards, social transfers, and more.
Many mainstream exchanges have successively supported the USDT-KAIA network, providing users with more diversified asset entry and exit channels. In the future, the Kaia team also plans to promote the issuance of the Korean won (KRW) stablecoin, further enriching the stablecoin options in the ecosystem.
2.3 Ecological Investment Progress
In April 2025, the Kaia Foundation announced that it had secured investment led by 1kx and Blockchain Capital, with participation from well-known institutions such as Galaxy Digital and IDG Capital. These investment institutions will provide in-depth support in areas such as international market expansion, compliance framework construction, and ecosystem cooperation network, helping Kaia accelerate its globalization process.
2.4 ecological strategic cooperation
Kaia continues to expand strategic cooperation in data visualization, secure custody, asset circulation, scenario implementation, and funding support.
2.5 Developer Support and Community Building
Kaia enhances the developer experience and invigorates the community through the following methods:
III. Summary of Excellent Kaia Ecosystem Project Cases
3.1 Excellent projects that have completed TGE
3.2 Other Head Projects Worth Looking Forward To
These projects demonstrate the strong competitiveness of the Kaia ecosystem in core areas such as gaming, setting a diversified benchmark for the development of Web3 applications in more vertical fields. With the emergence of more innovative projects and the improvement of ecological infrastructure, Kaia is expected to further consolidate its leading position in the Web3 field and promote the popularization of Web3 applications to mainstream users.
