The next wave of Web3 adoption in Asia is being fueled by critical advancements in security infrastructure and real-world payment solutions. At Korea Blockchain Week, security leader CertiK and the public blockchain Kaia outlined their collaborative work, highlighting AI-powered security and stablecoin orchestration as key catalysts for growth. This partnership aims to provide the secure, scalable foundation needed to onboard hundreds of millions of users to Web3 applications across the region.
CertiK and Kaia are collaborating on AI-powered security and stablecoin infrastructure.
Kaia's "Mini Dapps" on messaging apps have attracted over 130 million new registered users.
CertiK uses AI to scale its security audits, catching issues at the code commit stage.
Kaia is positioning itself as Asia's leading stablecoin infrastructure provider.
The goal is to unify Asia's fragmented financial rails with secure Web3 payments.
CertiK has established a Korean subsidiary to deepen its regional support.
As Kaia's ecosystem grows rapidly, with over 130 million users registered through its "Mini Dapps" on popular messaging platforms, scalable security is paramount. CertiK is addressing this by integrating artificial intelligence across its audit and compliance workflow. Kaia was the first ecosystem to adopt CertiK's AI-based pre-audit scanning, which allows developers to identify and fix security vulnerabilities early in the development process, ensuring a safer user experience at scale.
A core component of Kaia's strategy is to become Asia's leading stablecoin infrastructure provider. This initiative aims to solve the challenge of the region's fragmented financial systems by enabling stablecoin adoption across multiple regional currencies. By providing a secure, interoperable payments layer, Kaia and CertiK are working to lay the groundwork for a unified Web3 economy where users can conduct real-world transactions, remittances, and DeFi activities with trust and ease.
The partnership between CertiK and Kaia represents a holistic approach to driving Web3 adoption. By combining robust, AI-driven security with practical payment infrastructure, they are addressing two of the biggest barriers to entry—trust and utility—positioning Asia for a significant leap forward in the blockchain space.
