Onboarding a stablecoin onto the @KaiaChain ecosystem has always been a key milestone for us as a UX-focused L1. With this, we will be another step closer to creating an on-chain financial ecosystem designed for the masses, powered by Kaia's low fees and near-instant transaction time finality. The stablecoin will soon be adopted for practical use cases for consumers across Asia and beyond. Buckle up for some kickass onchain UX this Kaia Stablecoin Summer. 💯
The largest stablecoin. For the friendliest chain. Repeat after us: Kaia Stablecoin Summer is coming.
Asia is sitting on a $2.5 trillion trade finance gap! 49 countries. 5 billion people. And most of them are still moving money like it's 1995. Here are some thoughts on what we're building with Kaia, particularly as Asia's stablecoin orchestration layer! 👇 When you look at Asia, it's a continent of incredible potential, but also significant financial fragmentation. We're talking about diverse regulatory landscapes and a financial infrastructure that, while robust in parts, often struggles with cross-border efficiency. High remittance costs, substantial trade finance gaps for SMEs, and varying levels of financial inclusion are real challenges that stablecoins are uniquely positioned to address. That's why we're building a stablecoin orchestration layer, a sophisticated system designed to harmonize the issuance, circulation, and utilization of stablecoins across Asia. Think of it as the conductor for a very complex, multi-currency symphony. Our goal is to provide the optimal stablecoin experience for both users, builders, and stablecoin businesses. This means creating a secure environment for earning smart yield on various stablecoins, facilitating efficient transfers, and enabling seamless value exchange across the ecosystem. We're actively onboarding a diverse range of stablecoins, from USDT, the most prominent USDT to Asian stablecoins IDR, JPY, THB, PHP, KRW, and many more, aiming to become Asia's primary stablecoin liquidity hub. It's a bit like building a universal translator for money, but with less sci-fi and more robust cryptography. You'll see this come to life with tools like our Stablecoin Yield Engine by @SuperEarnX and the upcoming Alpha Sec, designed for low-cost, capital-efficient swaps. For developers, our Unify SDK provides the building blocks to integrate stablecoin functionality with unprecedented ease. And for our home market, Korea, we're deeply committed to establishing Kaia as the "K-Mainnet", the default chain for KRW stablecoin issuance. Our K-STAR (KRW Stablecoin Tech Alliance for Revolution) is focused on building a one-stop infrastructure that includes critical components like KYC/AML systems, real-time settlement, Proof of Reserve mechanisms, and comprehensive regulatory compliance support. Because, let's be honest, innovation without robust compliance is just a house of cards. It's a massive undertaking, but the vision is clear: a more connected, efficient, and financially inclusive Asia, powered by stablecoins infrastructure. We are laying the foundational rails for this future with @KaiaChain!
Finally Kaia @KaiaChain got @chainlink CCIP! Looking forward to seeing applications and use cases on top of CCIP.
We’re excited to announce that @chainlink CCIP is now live on Kaia as the official cross-chain infrastructure for all apps and ecosystem wallets supported by Kaia. By adopting the Chainlink interoperability standard, we’re unlocking secure cross-chain connectivity for our ecosystem of superapps and enterprise-grade partners, including LINE NEXT, KakaoPay, @Tether_to, and more.

#InnoBlock2025 Speaker Update」 Honored to have @seo_sangmin, Chairman of @KaiaChain, as our speaker. 🎫 Get your tickets: lu.ma/orlpntvd
Looking forward to joining the main stage at Taipei Blockchain Week today! Keynote → “Infrastructure That Disappears: Scaling Web3 Through Real Use” Date & Time: September 5, 2025, 10:05 AM See you there!
Good infra is like good leadership → invisible, but necessary
Another great presentation at Build & Play: LINE’s Mini Dapp Festa with Bitget Wallet!
Ethereum is trending again, but our reason for being EVM-compatible was never about hype. It’s about pragmatism: → Devs already built in Solidity → Tools are mature and battle-tested → Interoperability shortens time-to-market We chose what works, not what’s flashy.
Shout-out to the fourth chain with more active users rn @KaiaChain

Somewhere, a quiet team is embedding web3 into a superapp that you might have been looking for. Job’s not finished 🫡

East vs West in Web3. In Asia, blockchain is being embedded into superapps like LINE and KakaoTalk, quietly integrated with familiar UX. In the West, the focus remains on composability, DeFi-native interfaces, and standalone dapps. Two strategies. One goal: adoption. Which one is right? I guess the time will answer it, but you know the one I'm working on.
Really enjoying this one lately. It’s just fun to play.

5/ The goal is tap a button, earn/save/send, with stablecoins doing the heavy lifting in the background. And Asia’s UX expectations are shaping that faster than anyone else. The next step is making them invisible. That’s what we’re building toward at Kaia.

4/ And Kaia is where it’s all coming together: • Mini Dapps inside LINE • Gas abstraction with USDT • Messaging-native DeFi • RWA pilots with real SME lending in Indonesia • Expanding stablecoin rails beyond USD

3/ Now pair that with a stablecoin economy. • Native USDT on Kaia • KRW-backed stablecoins in development • Payment flows, rewards, remittance All are usable inside these apps. Seamless.

2/ The rails are already in place. Think LINE, KakaoPay, Grab, trusted, regulated platforms with real utility. These aren’t just messaging apps. They’re financial platforms on a national scale.
