ABU DHABI — In just one month, Kaia-powered Mini Dapps on LINE Messenger have taken Asia by storm, attracting over 35 million users and generating $2 million in in-app sales.

Launched on January 22, these Mini Dapps have rapidly gained traction, primarily in Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, and Korea. With an impressive average revenue per paying user (ARPPU) of $39 and a 13% paying user rate (PUR), the adoption rate highlights the massive market potential for Web3 applications in Asia.
Kaia Chain Sees Record Growth
The success of Mini Dapps has fueled a surge in Kaia’s blockchain activity. Since the launch of the Dapp Portal on LINE Messenger, the Kaia chain has onboarded 7.37 million new digital wallets—a staggering 1,168% increase—with 3 million wallets created through the Dapp Portal alone.
Kaia is now the third-largest EVM blockchain by active wallet addresses, according to Flipside. On-chain activity has also skyrocketed:
Monthly transactions surged 124% to 27.38 million
On-chain active users jumped 252% to 8.1 million
Bridging Web2 and Web3 for Seamless Adoption
The Mini Dapp platform, developed by Kaia and LINE NEXT, provides users with a frictionless Web2-like experience inside the familiar LINE Messenger ecosystem, which boasts 196 million users across Asia.
“We are seeing explosive growth from all the regions where LINE is prevalent. This proves that we are now ready to popularize Web3. As Dapps plan to list their tokens, we anticipate even greater user expansion.”
Youngsu Ko, CEO of LINE NEXT
By integrating crypto and fiat payment options, the platform unlocks hybrid business models that merge traditional free-to-play (F2P) and in-app purchase (IAP) systems with Web3’s digital assets. This approach enables Mini Dapps to establish sustainable revenue streams beyond token generation events (TGEs) and transaction fees.
What’s Next? Kaia’s Payments Infrastructure Expansion
Kaia is gearing up to enhance its payments infrastructure, starting with the launch of a native USD stablecoin on the Kaia network. This move will streamline builder settlements using $KAIA and fiat-converted stablecoins while enabling blockchain-based digital payments across Asia’s leading messaging superapps.
“Our remarkable achievements in just one month show how a blockchain ecosystem can drive profitable growth at scale. Kaia is committed to delivering the best of Web3 to Asian users, working alongside top-tier builders and partners worldwide.”
Dr. Sam Seo, Chairman of Kaia DLT Foundation
With groundbreaking adoption metrics, high user engagement, and a growing Web3 ecosystem, Kaia-powered Mini Dapps are proving that blockchain technology can drive mass-market success in Asia—ushering in a new era of digital commerce.
