- Mini Dapps are available directly on LINE Messenger and via the Dapp Portal’s Official Account without the need to download an additional app.
- To assist Web3 developers, the first 32 Mini Dapps were created under the Kaia Wave initiative.
Mini Dapps and a Dapp Portal powered by the Kaia blockchain were launched today by LINE NEXT Inc., LINE’s initiative devoted to creating and growing the Web3 ecosystem, and are accessible to users worldwide.
Mini Dapps are available directly on LINE Messenger and via the Dapp Portal’s Official Account without the need to download an additional app, and they are intended to make the Web3 user experience smooth and simple. A vast array of Mini Dapps in areas including games, social media, and Web3-enabled content are available for users to browse, find, and interact with on the Dapp Portal. Additionally, each of their LINE Official Accounts—the account service of businesses or brands on LINE Messenger—has Mini Dapps.
Users can also trade digital assets and NFTs using the in-app wallet and get incentives for utilizing each Dapp. In the future, LINE NEXT will also introduce a web version of Dapp Portal that can be accessed without downloading the LINE Messenger mobile app, and integrate the Dapp Portal part into the LINE Messenger home tab. Dapp Portal’s Medium channel has further information on utilizing Mini Dapps. Accessible here.
To assist Web3 developers, the first 32 Mini Dapps were created under the Kaia Wave initiative, which is run in tandem with LINE NEXT and the Kaia DLT Foundation, a non-profit that is spearheading the ecosystem growth of the Kaia public blockchain. In order to facilitate smooth operation in the LINE Messenger ecosystem, LINE NEXT’s software development kit (SDK) also expedited the creation of Mini Dapps. The first group of Mini Dapps consists of:
- Pluto Studio created Bombie and Cattea, a mini-app that garnered 43 million users in only six months and ranked first in terms of sales volume.
- LINE’s Captain Tsubasa -RIVALS- game, which is based on the well-known soccer manga
- Superz is a Dapp for healthcare and wellness that combines tangible rewards with workout routines in a smooth manner for non-crypto users.
By the end of 2025, LINE NEXT hopes to launch over 1,000 initiatives overall.
Youngsu Ko, CEO of LINE NEXT stated:
Dr. Sam Seo, Chairman of Kaia DLT Foundation stated:
In honor of the Dapp Portal’s launch, LINE NEXT has created a limited time reward program that allows users to receive KAIA and Dapp rewards simply by clicking on the Dapps. LINE NEXT’s Dapp Portal event page has information about the campaign.
