What is KAIA?
KAIA is the native token of the Kaia Blockchain, serving multiple functions such as on-chain fee payment, staking incentives, and community governance voting. The Kaia Blockchain is jointly developed by two major ecosystems, Finschia and Klaytn, using an EVM-compatible architecture, aiming to provide high-performance infrastructure for DeFi, GameFi, NFT, and RWA scenarios. The core team behind the project consists of experienced blockchain developers from Kakao and LINE, with years of experience in the deep integration of public chains and social applications.
In addition to basic functions, KAIA is also used for governance support of the ecological fund. Community members who hold and stake KAIA can participate in the quarterly ecological proposal voting, including developer funding, launching new projects, and hosting hackathons, truly achieving community-led initiatives. In addition, the project team regularly holds AMAs (Ask Me Anything) on the official forum and Telegram to promptly respond to user inquiries and announce the latest development progress.

Kaia Blockchain Core Features
- High-performance consensus: Based on the optimized pBFT consensus, single-node latency as low as 200ms, average block time of only 1 second, and peak TPS can reach 4,000, meeting the high concurrency requirements of DeFi.
- Dynamic Gas Fee Model: Introduces an elastic gas fee algorithm that dynamically adjusts based on network load; part of the gas fees will be “automatically burned” to effectively hedge against inflation pressure;
- Three-layer combustion architecture
Transaction Burn: The gas fee consumed for each transaction is burned proportionally.
MEV Burn Distribution: Of the on-chain MEV earnings, 30% is used for burning;
Ecosystem incentive burn: The project party will also reserve a burn ratio when holding airdrops and activity rewards to stabilize the value of the tokens.
- Multi-key and fee delegation: supports social account associated signatures, multi-signature wallets; users can outsource gas fees to third-party payments, making it more user-friendly.
- Cross-chain and RWA: Built-in cross-chain bridge, interconnected with networks such as Ethereum, BSC, and Polygon; RWA (Real World Assets) service platform connects physical assets such as real estate and artworks, promoting on-chain financing and tokenization.
Community Dynamics and Ecological Progress
- Mainnet Upgrade: KAI Mainnet is set to launch version V1.2, introducing the Flash Swap feature, expected to be deployed in mid-July 2025.
- Partners: Recently announced a collaboration with the large Asian stablecoin project “AsiaUSD,” planning to issue localized stablecoins on the Kaia chain to promote the implementation of DeFi applications.
- Ecological Activity: The official “Kaia Builders” hackathon has been launched, with a prize pool of 500,000 KAIA, encouraging community developers to submit DeFi, GameFi, and social DApps. Winning projects will also receive support from the ecological fund of 1,000,000 USDT.
- Social Media: The number of members in the Telegram group has exceeded 45,000, with frequent interactions on the official Weibo and Twitter. The voting rate for community governance proposals remains at 72%. Keeping up with community announcements is an effective way to obtain first-hand information.
Investment advice and risk tips
- Enter in batches: It is recommended for beginners to build positions multiple times after confirming support levels, gradually averaging the cost.
- Participate in staking: You can delegate idle KAIA to top validators, with an annual yield of about 5.2%, and share in MEV distribution.
- Monitor project progress: closely observe the mainnet upgrade, cross-chain bridge security audit report, and ecosystem funding dynamics, and adjust strategies in a timely manner.
- Beware of systemic risks: L1 public chains are greatly affected by the overall market. When the market fluctuates significantly, it is necessary to moderately reduce positions or wait and see.
