What is a Kaia RPC Node?

Access Asia's largest blockchain ecosystem

A Kaia RPC node provides applications with access to the merged Klaytn-Finschia blockchain, enabling integration with Kakao and LINE's massive user bases. Kaia's EVM compatibility combined with messenger integration creates unique opportunities for Web3 applications targeting Asian markets.

The Klaytn-Finschia merger

In 2024, Klaytn (Kakao's blockchain) and Finschia (LINE's blockchain) merged to form Kaia, creating Asia's largest Web3 ecosystem. This merger combined Klaytn's DeFi expertise with Finschia's NFT focus, while integrating with Kakao Talk (South Korea's dominant messenger) and LINE (Japan's leading messenger).

Kaia advantages:

  • 400M+ users — integrated with Kakao and LINE
  • Fast finality — ~1 second block time
  • Low fees — transactions under $0.01
  • High throughput — 4,000 TPS capacity
  • EVM compatible — full Ethereum tooling support
  • Asian focus — optimized for Asian markets

Messenger integration

Kakao Talk (170M+ users in South Korea) and LINE (230M+ users in Japan, Taiwan, Thailand) serve as super-apps — combining messaging with payments, shopping, and services. Kaia's integration enables blockchain features directly in these messengers.

This integration removes the biggest barrier to Web3 adoption in Asia — users can interact with blockchain applications without leaving their familiar messenger environment or managing complex wallets.

Kaia architecture:

  1. IBFT 2.0 consensus for fast finality
  2. Governance Council with major Asian companies
  3. Service chains for application-specific scaling
  4. Native integration with Kakao and LINE platforms
  5. EVM compatibility for Ethereum developer experience

Service chains

Kaia supports service chains — application-specific sidechains that can customize parameters like block time, governance, and gas policies while remaining connected to Kaia mainnet for security and asset transfers.

Supported RPC Methods

Kaia supports standard Ethereum JSON-RPC methods plus Kaia-specific extensions:

  • eth_blockNumber — current block number
  • eth_getBalance — KAIA balance
  • eth_call — call contract functions
  • eth_sendRawTransaction — broadcast transactions
  • eth_getTransactionReceipt — transaction status
  • eth_getLogs — event logs
  • klay_gasPrice — Kaia gas price
  • klay_accounts — list accounts
  • klay_getAccountKey — account key info
  • eth_subscribe — WebSocket subscriptions

Code Examples

💻

JavaScript (caver-js) — Kaia Connection:

const Caver = require('caver-js');

// Caver is Kaia's specialized SDK (fork of web3.js)
const caver = new Caver('https://rpc.crypto-chief.com/kaia/YOUR_API_KEY');

// Check connection
const isConnected = await caver.rpc.net.isListening();
console.log('Connected to Kaia:', isConnected);

// Get KAIA balance
const address = '0xYourKaiaAddress...';
const balance = await caver.rpc.klay.getBalance(address);
console.log('KAIA Balance:', caver.utils.fromPeb(balance, 'KAIA'));

// Get block number
const blockNumber = await caver.rpc.klay.getBlockNumber();
console.log('Latest block:', blockNumber);
💻

Transfer KAIA:

const Caver = require('caver-js');

const caver = new Caver('https://rpc.crypto-chief.com/kaia/YOUR_API_KEY');

// Add account from private key
const sender = caver.wallet.keyring.createFromPrivateKey('0xYourPrivateKey...');
caver.wallet.add(sender);

// Create value transfer transaction
const tx = new caver.transaction.valueTransfer({
  from: sender.address,
  to: '0xRecipientAddress...',
  value: caver.utils.toPeb('1', 'KAIA'), // 1 KAIA
  gas: 25000
});

// Sign and send
const signed = await caver.wallet.sign(sender.address, tx);
const receipt = await caver.rpc.klay.sendRawTransaction(signed);
console.log('Transaction hash:', receipt.transactionHash);
💻

Python (web3.py) — Kaia Setup:

from web3 import Web3

# Kaia is EVM-compatible so web3.py works
w3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider('https://rpc.crypto-chief.com/kaia/YOUR_API_KEY'))

print('Connected:', w3.is_connected())
print('Chain ID:', w3.eth.chain_id)  # 8217
print('Latest block:', w3.eth.block_number)

# Get KAIA balance
balance = w3.eth.get_balance('0xYourAddress...')
print(f'KAIA: {balance / 1e18}')
💻

WebSocket — Monitor Kaia Activity:

const { ethers } = require('ethers');

// Kaia is EVM-compatible so ethers.js works
const provider = new ethers.WebSocketProvider('wss://rpc.crypto-chief.com/kaia/ws/YOUR_API_KEY');

// Monitor new blocks (~1 second)
provider.on('block', async (blockNumber) => {
  const block = await provider.getBlock(blockNumber);
  console.log(`Kaia block ${blockNumber}: ${block.transactions.length} txs`);
});

// Monitor token transfers
const tokenAddress = '0xKaiaTokenContract...';
const filter = {
  address: tokenAddress,
  topics: [ethers.id('Transfer(address,address,uint256)')]
};

provider.on(filter, (log) => {
  console.log('Token transfer:', log);
});
