Kaia Chain & USDT on Kaia: High-Speed EVM Layer‑1 for Mass Adoption

What Is Kaia Chain?

Kaia Chain is an EVM-compatible Layer‑1 blockchain that merges Klaytn (by Kakao) and Finschia (by LINE) to form Asia’s Web3-enabled superapp infrastructure. Designed for speed, reliability, and real-world use, Kaia delivers 1-second block time, instant finality, and throughput up to 4,000 TPS, making it ideal for consumer and enterprise applications across Asia.

Kaia’s native Web3 integration with LINE and KakaoTalk reaches 250M+ users, powering an ecosystem with 12M+ users and over $13M in GMV via Kaia Wave mini dApps.

Why USDT on Kaia Matters

In May 2025, Kaia onboarded native USDT, launching its “Stablecoin Summer” initiative. This unlocks fast, low-cost crypto payments for LINE and Kakao users across Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, and Indonesia. The integration brings mainstream stablecoin utility to a mass-market audience.
