The burgeoning
world of
web3 games is poised for a revolutionary leap forward as Line Next prepares to unveil a cutting-edge mini-game platform. This innovative endeavor aims to harness the vast 2 billion active chat users on the Line messaging app, venturing into uncharted territory by integrating blockchain-based gaming experiences directly within the app interface. Scheduled for a grand release in Q4 2024, this platform is setting the stage to redefine how users interact with digital
games and decentralized applications (dapps).
Through this web-based approach, users will enjoy the luxury of accessing
games and dapps with ease, eliminating the hassle of additional downloads or applications. The intuitive design allows for a seamless connection of wallets, gameplay, and the ability to invite friends into the fold—all within the familiar confines of the Line environment. Adding to its allure, Line Next has also unveiled the Kaia Wave developer program, backed by an impressive $10 million in funding, aimed at fostering a thriving ecosystem for
web3 builders.
Platform Features and Functionality
In a move that mirrors the integrated web app approach of
telegram, the
web3 mini-game platform by Line Next simplifies access to entertainment. By using their Line ID, users can dive directly into
games from the chat interface. Among its standout features, the platform will offer integrated wallet access, enabling direct linkages of digital wallets for facilitating in-game transactions and
rewards. Additionally, a built-in Social Reward API will empower a referral system, encouraging users to bring friends onboard and enjoy shared
rewards. A dedicated portal is also in the works, which will serve as the hub for trading in-game
tokens and digital assets, further enriching the gaming ecosystem.
Collaboration with Kaia (Klaytn)
The launch of this platform closely follows the emergence of Kaia, an L1 blockchain born from the union of Finschia and Klaytn. Through a strategic partnership with Kaia, Line Next aims to amplify the reach of its
web3 endeavor with the Kaia Wave initiative. This program, buoyed by a $10 million fund, is designed to attract
web3 builders, offering grants of up to $1.2 million per developer. The Kaia Wave SDK provides a suite of comprehensive tools, including wallet APIs, mini dapp support, and portal integration, making it easier for developers to craft unique applications and
games tailored for the Line Next platform.
Aiming to Drive web3 Adoption
With an ambitious vision, Line Next is positioning itself as a catalyst for mainstream
web3 adoption. By integrating digital wallets and ensuring easy access via the Line app, the platform promises a frictionless entry point into blockchain technologies for millions. As
web3 continues to mature, the strategic combination of Line Next's mini-game platform and the Kaia Wave developer support is poised to unlock decentralized applications for mainstream audiences, with a particular emphasis on Asia, where Line boasts a formidable presence.

web3 mini-game platform marks a significant milestone in the fusion of blockchain technologies with conventional messaging services. This user-friendly platform, allied with the developer-friendly Kaia Wave incentive, is expected to pioneer new avenues for both casual gamers and
