The KAIA coin project is the native digital currency of the Kaia network, a first-layer (Layer 1) blockchain based on EVM (Ethereum-compatible) technology aimed at integrating and developing the capabilities of Klaytn (from Kakao) and Finschia (from LINE).

🏗️ Core features of Kaia
High speed and low cost: supports up to 4,000 transactions per second and achieves finality within one second, with much lower fees compared to Ethereum.
EVM compatible: enables developers to easily migrate their applications, planning to support Cosmos as well.
Three-layer network structure: a core block network, a peripheral network (API), and custom sub-chains for dApps.

💰 KAIA's digital economy
Triple burning system: burning a fraction of transaction fees, MEV, and network operation costs to maintain the value of the coin.
Verification rewards: an annual inflation rate of about 5.2% distributed among block producers and stakers (50%), and the KEF and KIF funds (each 25%).
Evolving governance: operating an initial board of directors, then transitioning to a DAO, with a cap of 5% voting rights per entity to ensure fair distribution.
