What Kaia is
Kaia is a Layer 1 public blockchain described as Ethereum-equivalent, built to bring Web3 access to users across Asia through messenger superapps. It is classified as a smart contract platform.
Kaia runs on Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (pBFT), a variant of BFT consensus. The network is designed for 4,000 transactions per second with 1-second block times and immediate finality, meaning transactions are not subject to probabilistic rollback once confirmed.
What this passage does not establish is who built Kaia, when it launched, or which messenger platforms actually integrate it — the source names no company, team, or date, and none is supplied here. The throughput and latency figures above are design targets stated by the project itself, not independently measured network performance; nothing here confirms sustained real-world load at those numbers. "Ethereum-equivalent" is a compatibility claim, not a statement about Kaia's own security history, validator decentralization, or track record, none of which appear in the source. As a Layer 1 smart contract platform, Kaia's value depends on the applications and messenger integrations built on it — a dependency the source asserts but does not document with specifics. No supply schedule, token distribution, or governance structure is described here, so nothing can be said about dilution, inflation, or who controls protocol upgrades.
What Kaia can do
KAIA is the native asset of the Kaia network and pays its transaction fees. Kaia's white paper says apps built for Ethereum run on it without changes. Each app is its own code with its own flaws.

New KAIA is issued with every block. Rewards that validators do not earn are burned, which lowers the net amount issued.

About the asset
Kaia has no token contract — it is the native asset of its own chain, not a token issued on someone else's.
