Kaia support is live on Alchemy

Alchemy has launched native support for Kaia, an EVM-compatible Layer 1 built for stablecoin settlement and onchain finance across Asia. The network pairs one-second finality with deep regional stablecoin infrastructure, an expanding RWA ecosystem, and a distribution engine that reaches into an everyday messaging app used by hundreds of millions of people, giving developers a path to put onchain finance in front of mainstream consumers rather than only crypto-native users.

Why Kaia stands out

One-second finality on an EVM-compatible L1

Kaia confirms blocks in roughly one second while staying fully EVM compatible. For developers, that means instant settlement without leaving the tooling they already know. It opens the door to high-frequency DeFi, exchange flows, and FX settlement that would stall on slower chains, with far less exposure to congestion or settlement risk.

The Unifi distribution engine

Unifi, built by LINE NEXT, integrates the Kaia ecosystem directly into LINE, a messaging app with more than 250 million users. Most chains hand developers infrastructure and leave distribution as their problem. Kaia ships both. An app built on Kaia can reach consumers inside a product they already open every day, rather than asking them to download a wallet first.

Deep regional stablecoin infrastructure

Kaia natively supports USDT alongside fiat-pegged regional stablecoins, including IDRX and JPYC, with KRW stablecoin proofs of concept underway. This lets developers build FX, payments, and remittance applications tied directly to local economies, settling in the currency a user actually holds instead of routing everything through a single dollar rail.

What developers are building

Onchain finance and yield is the most active vertical. Engines like Ratio for FX orchestration, SuperEarn for yield generation, and AlphaSec for perpetual futures put stablecoin liquidity to work. Kaia recently integrated Morpho vaults, available through Feather, bringing yield arbitrage and looping strategies to everyday users.

Tokenized real-world assets are growing through Kaia Investment Partners and platforms like Galactica and Yield8, which serve as an institutional gateway to Asian private credit and real-world assets.

Gaming rounds out the ecosystem. Titles on the Unifi Dapp Portal integrate Kaia USDT for in-game checkouts and tokenized rewards. The traction here is real: roughly 30% of in-game payments for major live titles on Kaia already settle in Kaia stablecoins.

Where Alchemy fits with Kaia

Kaia is moving fast. It launched Unifi Bridge, which lets users move USDT from more than 14 networks directly onto Kaia, building on the payment and yield activity Unifi already drives. JPYC circulating supply on Kaia has climbed quickly, passing Avalanche and Ethereum to make Kaia the chain with the second largest JPYC supply. And institutional stablecoin pilots continue, including a KRW stablecoin architecture developed with one of South Korea's largest banks and JPY stablecoin integrations aimed at regulated onchain finance.

That kind of growth only works if the infrastructure underneath holds up at volume with:

• Reliable RPC access over both HTTP and WebSockets, so apps can read from and write to Kaia in real time.
• Battle-tested infrastructure proven at scale, powering more than $1 trillion in onchain activity each year at 99.99% uptime and is SOC 2 Type II certified.

We are also running validator infrastructure on Kaia and joining the Kaia Governance Council, helping guide the network's onchain governance alongside global enterprise partners.

As Kaia expands into its next steps, more regional stablecoins, deeper institutional pilots, and new consumer use cases, we will extend more of the Alchemy platform to support that growth.

Kaia is now available on Alchemy. Start building today with our Kaia documentation, or reach out to talk through what you want to ship.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, Kaia support is now live on Alchemy, with RPC and WebSocket access and developer tooling natively supporting the network.

What infrastructure does Alchemy provide for Kaia developers?

Alchemy provides reliable RPC access over HTTP and WebSocket, backed by infrastructure that processes more than $1 trillion in onchain activity each year at 99.99% uptime and is SOC 2 Type II certified.

What makes Kaia different from other Layer 1 blockchains?

Kaia is an EVM Layer 1 with roughly one-second finality, native support for USDT and regional stablecoins like IDRX and JPYC, and distribution through the LINE app, putting onchain finance in front of hundreds of millions of mainstream users.

What types of applications are developers building on Kaia?

Developers are building onchain finance and yield products, payments and remittances, FX settlement, tokenized real-world assets, and games that use Kaia stablecoins for in-game checkouts and rewards.

What is Unifi?

Unifi, built by LINE NEXT, integrates the Kaia ecosystem directly into the LINE messaging app, giving developers a path to mainstream users without asking them to download a separate wallet first. Unifi Bridge extends this by letting users move USDT from more than 14 networks onto Kaia.

What stablecoins are available on Kaia?

Kaia natively supports USDT alongside regional fiat-pegged stablecoins including IDRX and JPYC, with KRW stablecoin proofs of concept underway.

What is the Kaia Governance Council?

The Kaia Governance Council guides the network's onchain governance. Alchemy is joining the council alongside global enterprise partners, a signal that Kaia's foundation is built to scale.
