Kaia Block chain is a combination of Klaytn, developed by the Korean social giant Kakao, and Finschia, developed by LINE, and officially launched its Mainnet in August this year. According to the official introduction, the merger of the two was inspired by the Telegram-backed TON, and when the Mainnet was launched, Kaia also launched the Web3 developer program Kaia Wave to allow developers to build Mini Dapps on LINE and achieve integration similar to Telegram with Web3 native applications. Will LINE Mini Dapp be open to community participation? However, unlike the TON ecosystem, the author speculates that the Dapps initially launched by LINE should not be open to community development. After all, LINE's parent company is a listed company, and there may be stricter regulations and security considerations. If fraudulent activities or security incidents occur in the Dapps launched on the LINE platform, they may also be affected. On the other hand, it is also curious how to run Dapps on LINE, which is a centralized application itself. Currently, the official has not provided much explanation on this. However, overall, we see another traditional technology giant attempting to enter the Block chain field, and DODO will continue to track it for you.
