Most chains build first, then look for users… this one did it differently
Most blockchains usually lean one way. Either they have decent tech but no real users, or they have users but the infrastructure still feels incomplete. Rarely both.
→ Kaia (what’s different) It’s a merge of Klaytn (Kakao) and Finschia (LINE), so instead of starting from zero, it’s connecting into existing platforms. From what’s been shared publicly:
~88M onchain addresses ~$150M+ stablecoin supply access to ~250M users I can’t fully verify every number, but even roughly, that’s a strong starting point.
→ What actually matters At that level of distribution, infrastructure becomes critical. Especially data. Things like: - price feeds - exchange rates - consistency
aren’t optional anymore.
→ What I noticed From what I’ve seen, RedStone is being used as the oracle layer there, providing BTC, ETH, USDT feeds. There’s also plans for FX data (KRW, JPY, IDR, MYR), which makes sense if they’re aiming at real-world or regional use cases.
→ Take Not saying this solves everything. But starting with both:
→ users
→ and infrastructure already somewhat aligned feels different from most chains trying to build that later.
Curious what others think. Does this actually help long term, or same issues just show up later?
