A high-performance Web3 public blockchain, Kaia, has announced an exciting collaboration with LINE NEXT, a corporation focused on developing global services for Web3-based businesses and games. This partnership aims to enhance the use of stablecoins through the ‘Unify app,’ facilitating payments, remittances, on/off-ramps, and Web3 applications, particularly in key markets such as Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand.
Kaia has emerged as Asia’s largest Web3 ecosystem, integrating with popular messaging platforms like Kakaotalk and LINE to provide a seamless Web3 experience akin to the speed and functionality of Web2. The collaboration with LINE NEXT is expected to bolster the creation of innovative Web3-based applications tailored for businesses and gaming industries.
The ‘Unify app’—a working title—will function as both a standalone service managed by the Kaia Foundation and a LINE Messenger-based service overseen by LINE NEXT. The beta version of this application is anticipated to launch within the year, introducing consumer-friendly Web3 and FinTech functionalities.
This platform aims to popularize stablecoin services across Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand through its collaborative integration. Users will have the convenience of depositing stablecoins into their wallets, facilitating transactions with merchants, and executing payments and refunds globally through messaging. Furthermore, Unify is set to provide extensive on/off-ramp solutions that have not yet been available, ensuring easy accessibility for all users.
With the integration of LINE, Unify aims to establish itself as the leading Web3 application, offering access to over 100 Web3 apps along with additional rewards for users. Following this collaboration, the stablecoin-powered FinTech hub integrated into LINE—serving approximately 194 million monthly active users globally—will enhance the user experience significantly. Since the launch of Mini Dapps on LINE in January 2025, the partnership has attracted over 130 million new registered users.
The application is designed to support stablecoins pegged to various currencies such as the US dollar, Japanese yen, Thai baht, Korean won, Indonesian rupiah, Philippine peso, Malaysian ringgit, and Singapore dollar. Youngsu Ko, CEO of LINE NEXT, expressed confidence in the venture, stating, “We have seen both the needs and the potential of stablecoins. We plan to lead the expansion of Asia’s stablecoin ecosystem by introducing a super-app that anyone can use easily and safely.”
In agreement, Dr. Sam Seo, Chairman of the Kaia DLT Foundation, emphasized that Project Unify is a strategic initiative aimed at capturing opportunities in the Asian stablecoin market, while offering a wide array of convenience-enhancing fintech and entertainment services. This collaboration is set to pave the way for advanced financial services and greater adoption of stablecoins across the region.
