Kaia (KAIA)

Who keeps dumping KAIA... They say it's a KRW stablecoin... https://t.co/IUrTxrTDG1

when a user loses $900,000 on a swap, the network is telling you something. when another swap sparks 10,000 arbitrage attempts and slows the chain to 2 minutes w/ 30x gas, it's telling you even louder... @kaiachain $KAIA MEV redesign comes straight out of these stress points i wanted to understand how they're turning those failures into a structured approach by going through their recent blog post 🧵👇 i'll explain in understandable terms here's what's on the list: → what kaia is trying to fix → how mev shows up in real life → kaia's slot auction idea → how the system works → what changes in practice ▫️what kaia is trying to fix i got curious when i saw kaia talking about controlling MEV instead of fighting it, so i went into their doc to see what they're actually solving. the first thing that hits you is how chaotic MEV can get. there's this case where a user swapped a huge amount of oXRP and got back way less KAIA than expected. the price tanked, bots rushed in, and it took minutes for things to normalize. another swap triggered more than 10,000 arbitrage attempts in seconds and pushed gas fees up 30x. so the problem isn't only that someone makes money. it's that the whole chain slows down, users get wrecked on fees, and the most powerful bots win every time. ▫️how mev shows up in real life the idea behind MEV is simple↓ • blocks group txs • someone can change the order • reordering can create profit you see it through 3 common moves↓ • arbitrage - buying cheap in one place, selling high in another • front-running - jumping ahead of someone's trade • back-running - slipping right after their trade the real pain is the "race to the bottom"... everyone fires txs at the network most of them fail the chain wastes resources users wait longer validators might even cut private deals so kaia made a clear call → MEV isn't going away, so it needs a structure. ▫️kaia's slot auction idea instead of removing MEV, kaia makes bots compete in a small, controlled auction for a single backrun slot. the design leans on 3 things↓ • only the backrun slot is auctioned • searchers bid instead of spamming • validators still build the block normally this avoids the model where block builders gain too much power. here, the proposer keeps control, and the auctioned slot is added cleanly after the target transaction. it looks more precise than the "whole block" systems we've seen elsewhere. ▫️how the system works i broke their flow into small steps to see it clearly↓ • a profitable tx appears • searchers detect it in ~100ms • sealed bids get sent • the auction closes in ~200ms • the winner gets placed immediately after the target tx the Early Deadline (ED) was the tricky part at first. the idea↓ • normal tx arriving after ED are delayed • the winning MEV bid can still make it in the next block as long as it reaches validators before mining starts that gives the MEV slot a timing advantage without messing up overall performance. other guardrails keep the system fair↓ • Auctioneer - stateless, neutral, forwarding only the winner • deposit-based model - prevents spam and bad bids • nonce checks - no replay attacks • execution runs even if it fails - prevents griefing it's a long chain of small rules, but together they block most of the nasty edge cases around MEV. ▫️what changes in practice what surprised me most is the revenue split. from each winning bid↓ • 10% goes to block proposers • 90% goes into the ecosystem fund example they give↓ • a swap creates $1,500 MEV • winning bid is $1,000 • proposer gets $100 • ecosystem gets $900 before this, that whole $1,500 went straight to the fastest bot. with this setup↓ • the network gets less spam • congestion drops • anyone can compete if they can bid • MEV value flows back into kaia's economy the system went live on Kairos testnet, and reading through it i get that they want to put MEV into a predictable lane so it stops damaging the network and starts paying for its own footprint... full blog post on their medium found this useful? consider reposting it to your network and follow @raares for more kaia updates

i started digging into @KaiaChain $KAIA FlatTrie update because i kept seeing the number 35TB thrown around for archive nodes 🤯 i needed to understand where that space disappears i needed to understand where that space disappears and while reading, i kept comparing it to how ethereum + polygon hit the same wall in the past. here's what i'll explore: → why archive nodes explode → how the trie inflates → what other chains tried → Kaia's roadblocks → what FlatTrie changes in real numbers → limits worth noting → where this direction might go → what does it mean for an user like me ▫️why archive nodes explode full nodes prune. archive nodes keep everything. that alone creates a huge difference, but Kaia's numbers are extreme. • full node → ~5TB • archive node → ~35TB • state alone → ~31TB here's what ends up stored there: • every account balance • every contract variable • every version of every state change • across hundreds of millions of blocks it made me wonder whether pruning could help, but archive nodes simply can't delete anything. ▫️how the trie inflates Kaia uses an MPT structure like other EVM chains. the part that inflates is the branch structure, not the actual data. you get duplication because each block stores: • the full state root • every branch node • every unchanged leaf • even when almost nothing changed this diagram shows this clearly: R1, R2, R3 all keep nearly identical trees. and i caught myself asking: why repeat 99% of the structure for 1% of changes? ▫️what other chains tried Ethereum ran into the same issue years ago. Erigon (eth client built to sync the chain fast and store data efficiently) showed that you only need historical leaf nodes. everything else can be rebuilt later. their approach flattened accounts like this: • account A → A1, A3 • account B → B1, B3 • account C → C1 • account D → D1, D2 branches are thrown away for old blocks. the latest block still keeps a full trie for fast writes. this cut eth archive size from 13TB to 3TB. Polygon now recommends Erigon for archive use. ▫️Kaia's roadblocks when reading Kaia's writeup, i expected them to reuse Erigon. but 2 constraints stopped them. Kaia accounts use more complex structures: • role based keys • humanReadable flag • accountKey • codeInfo • Erigon's hasher can't parse that their fix was interesting: • hash accounts as raw bytes • don't parse anything • stay format agnostic the second roadblock was MDBX (database engine used by erigon): • MDBX is single threaded • Kaia's client uses many goroutines so they built DomainsManager: • each worker has its own MDBX transaction • shared in memory layer • avoids constant disk commits this made the architecture multithreaded again w/o breaking MDBX rules. ▫️what FlatTrie changes in real numbers the Kairos tests show the difference: • original archive → 4,341GB total, 3,970GB state • FlatTrie archive → 982GB total, 631GB state that's: • 6x smaller state • 4x smaller total size i tried mapping this mentally to Ethereum's improvements and the scale is similar. there are tradeoffs though: • memory jumps to ~30GB • goroutines ~950 • block finalization ~500ms vs <100ms so the storage win is massive, but compute needs tuning. ▫️limits worth noting FlatTrie disables: • block rewinding ((you can’t jump the node back to a previous block) • merkle proofs (you can’t generate historical state proofs for wallets or contracts) • pruning (you can’t delete old state to save extra space) but archive use cases rarely depend on these. still, they're notable constraints. ▫️where this direction might go FlatTrie is marked experimental and must sync from genesis. future work targets: • lower memory • fewer goroutines • faster finalization • mainnet validation • snapshot distribution eth and pol/matic already validated this design path. Kaia is adapting it to their own account format and threading model while trying to keep speeds manageable.

Kaia is finally starting the transition to a permissionless network. The transition plan is to open PoS validator nodes to the public. From foundation-approval to self-registration (but poorly performing nodes will be eliminated). PS: Because Kaia originates from the merger of Klaytn and Finschia, the validator management contracts are still those from Klaytn’s genesis, and they should be upgraded this time as well. Looking at it, many nodes have already fully staked $Kaia, such as those on Google Cloud, Binance, and the foundation. If shifting to permissionless, I wonder if more staking capacity will be opened?

The core point this podcast wants to convey is: We should not underestimate the user base and capital that these veteran social apps (Kakao, Line) can bring. Your coverage, like TG, mainly includes the CIS region + India + Indonesia, where client net worth is relatively limited. In contrast, although Kakao and Line have fewer total users than TG, they cover Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, which are all high‑net‑worth regions in Asia. Therefore, it's reasonable for Kaia to call itself the stablecoin payment infrastructure of Asia.
