🏗️ Key features of Kaia
High speed and low cost: Supports up to 4,000 transactions per second and achieves finality within one second, with significantly lower fees compared to Ethereum.
EVM compatible: Enables developers to easily migrate their applications and plans to support Cosmos as well.
A three-layer network structure: a core block network, a peripheral network (API), and dedicated subchains for dApp applications.

💰 KAIA's digital economy
A three-tier burning system: burning a fraction of transaction fees, MEV, and network operating costs, to maintain the value of the currency.
Verification rewards: An annual inflation rate of around 5.2% distributed among block producers and stakers (50%), and the KEF and KIF funds (each 25%).
Evolutionary governance: Operates an initial board of directors, then transitions to a DAO, with a cap of 5% voting rights per entity to ensure fair distribution.
