KaiaChain Integrates DeFi into LINE and KakaoTalk Platforms
馃敟 Web3 Sneaks Into Chat
KaiaChain is working to make DeFi more accessible by integrating it directly into established messaging platforms LINE and KakaoTalk, which together serve over 200M users.
Key points:
- Native integration provides familiar interface for mainstream users
- Focuses on real user adoption rather than grant funding
- Targets existing user bases on trusted platforms
John Cho recently appeared on Bitfinex Talks to explain the technical architecture and vision behind this integration. The approach represents a practical path toward widespread consumer adoption of Web3 technologies.
