The Kaia DLT Foundation (Kaia) is shaking up the Web3 world! Its Mini DApps, running on the Kaia blockchain and built into LINE Messenger, have exploded to over 35 million users in just one month since launching on January 22.
People are spending big too—racking up $2 million in in-app purchases, with each paying user dropping about $39 on average and 13% of users opening their wallets. It’s clear Web3 is taking off fast in Asia.
These Mini Dapps are super popular in places like Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, and Korea, and other countries where folks love in-app purchases. A fun fact is that Asians spend 40% more on these buys than people elsewhere, making it a perfect spot for Web3 to grow.
The Dapp Portal on LINE Messenger is also a game-changer, bringing tons of new people into Web3. Since it started, the Kaia blockchain has added 7.37 million new digital wallets—that’s a crazy 1,168% jump! The Dapp Portal alone brought in 3 million of those. A recent Flipside report even says Kaia is now the third-biggest EVM blockchain for active wallets. Monthly transactions shot up 124% to 27.38 million, and active users on the chain grew 252% to 8.1 million.
Kaia and LINE NEXT made this Dapp easy and familiar, like regular apps people already use. With LINE Messenger’s huge 196 million users in Asia, adding crypto and regular money payment options is making Web3 feel normal. It’s a smart mix of Web2’s free-to-play and in-app buying styles with Web3’s digital assets, helping app makers earn steady cash beyond just tokens or fees.
Youngsu Ko, CEO of LINE NEXT, said, “We are seeing explosive growth in all regions where LINE is prevalent. This proves that we are now ready to popularize Web3, and with Dapps planning to list their tokens, we expect to further expand our user base.”
Dr. Sam Seo, Chairman of Kaia DLT Foundation, added, “Our remarkable achievements in just one month since launching Mini Dapps showcases how a blockchain ecosystem can drive profitable growth while enhancing scalability. Aiming to deliver the best of Web3 to Asian users, Kaia will continue to evolve by collaborating with exceptional builders and partners worldwide.”
Next up, Kaia’s launching its own USD stablecoin. This will make payments smoother, letting builders cash out using $KAIA and stablecoins tied to real money. It’s all about making blockchain payments simple and part of Asia’s top messaging apps.
Kaia’s Mini Dapps are showing everyone that Web3 isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a real-deal business that’s changing Asia’s digital scene.
