Kaia is a public, EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain created from the merger of Klaytn and Finschia, designed for high performance with one-second block times, low transaction fees, and instant finality to power large-scale Web3 and stablecoin applications.
See the Kaia API quickstart guide to start building on Kaia.
The Kaia API lets you interact with the Kaia mainnet. You can execute transactions, query onchain data, and interact with the Kaia network using the JSON-RPC standard.
Yes, Kaia is EVM compatible.
Kaia uses the JSON-RPC API standard. This API enables blockchain interaction on the Kaia network, letting you read block and transaction data, query chain information, execute smart contracts, and store data onchain.
Kaia supports standard Ethereum JSON-RPC methods. Some chain-specific methods may vary. Check the Kaia API endpoints documentation for a complete list.
When you access the Kaia network through a node provider like Alchemy, you use an API key to send transactions and retrieve data. We recommend you sign up for a free API key.
Common Ethereum libraries like ethers.js are compatible with Kaia, given its EVM nature.
