• CertiK deploys AI security at scale across the Kaia ecosystem
• Kaia provides a stablecoin orchestration layer for real-world payments
• CertiK expands in Korea with local subsidiary and data-driven industry reporting
  

Seoul, Nov. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CertiK and Kaia spotlighted the infrastructure and safeguards driving Asia's next wave of Web3 adoption at Korea Blockchain Week (KBW), detailing joint work across AI-powered security, payments, and developer support.

In January 2025, Kaia and LINE NEXT launched Mini Dapps on a messaging app that has attracted over 130 million total new registered users to date. Earlier in September 2025, Kaia unveiled its stablecoin strategy to position itself as Asia's leading stablecoin infrastructure provider. Together, these initiatives aim to address Asia's fragmented financial rails, expand stablecoin adoption across multiple regional currencies, and lay the foundation for a unified, interoperable Web3 economy.

CertiK is providing the security backbone for this expansion. The company has integrated artificial intelligence (AI) across its audit and compliance workflow to plan, scan, validate, and report at scale. Kaia was the first ecosystem to adopt CertiK's AI-based pre-audit scanning, including during the Kaia Hackathon, enabling security issues to be caught at the commit stage.

"Stablecoins are at the core of bringing real-world utility to Web3, whether through payments, remittances, or DeFi", said Dr. Sam Seo, Chairman of the Kaia Foundation. "Our collaboration with CertiK ensures that every stablecoin use case on Kaia is built on secure and scalable infrastructure that users and developers can trust."

“AI is key to scaling security as ecosystems onboard hundreds of thousands of Mini Dapps. Users should not have to think about smart contracts or audits,” said CertiK Co-Founder and CEO, Ronghui Gu.

CertiK's regional commitment includes three initiatives announced around KBW: deepening partnerships with leaders like Kaia; releasing the Skynet Korea Report with data-backed risk insights; and establishing a Korean subsidiary to deliver local engineering, BD, and marketing support.
