Kaia Announces Mainnet Launch With Kaia Wave to accelerate consumer adoption
On 29 August, Kaia DLT Foundation officially launched the Kaia mainnet, successfully integrating the technological and business strengths accumulated by Klaytn and Finschia. Kaia debuts as the world’s fastest and most efficient EVM-based blockchain, boasting support from major Web3 partners like Kakao and LINE NEXT, processing speeds of approximately one second, and extremely low gas fees.
Alongside the mainnet launch, the foundation has unveiled Kaia Wave, a major initiative developed in partnership with LINE NEXT. This Web3 builder support program aims to enhance project support and user experiences by leveraging the new NEXT WEB SDK developed in collaboration with LINE NEXT, which will allow builders to develop Mini Dapps that launch within LINE Messenger, tapping into their extensive user base across Asia including Japan, Taiwan, Thailand and Indonesia. Through Kaia Wave, the foundation intends to bridge Asian and global Web3 partners, expedite Web3 adoption, and establish itself as a leading blockchain platform in Asia.
“The Kaia mainnet launch marks a crucial first step in expanding the Asian Web3 ecosystem and will serve as a significant catalyst for LINE NEXT’s global business,” stated Young-su Ko, CEO of LINE NEXT. “Through the Kaia Wave project, LINE NEXT will focus on delivering a more efficient Web3 platform for builders and improving accessibility and convenience for users.”
Sangmin Seo, Chairman of Kaia DLT Foundation, added, “The Kaia ecosystem will benefit from new project onboarding and marketing programs developed collaboratively with various partners, including LINE NEXT. At the upcoming KSL 2024 event, we’ll showcase how Kaia and LINE messenger plan to explore practical blockchain popularization methods and solidify future cooperation.”
The Kaia Foundation will provide comprehensive insights into the Kaia ecosystem, future operational strategies, the Kaia Wave program, plans for becoming Asia’s premier blockchain, and collaboration initiatives with LINE NEXT at the Kaia Square Lounge 2024. This two-day event is scheduled for September 2–3 at Peaches D8ne in Seongsu-dong.
