Why Kaia
Sub-second finality
Kaia’s BFT consensus provides deterministic, immediate finality. Once confirmed, a transaction is final — no reorgs, no probabilistic confirmation. Essential for institutional FX where settlement certainty is non-negotiable.
EVM compatible
Fully EVM-compatible — Ratio’s contracts are Solidity, developed and audited with standard Ethereum tooling (Hardhat, Foundry, OpenZeppelin).
Asia-focused ecosystem
Distribution partners (LINE, Kakao, GCash) with hundreds of millions of users, local stablecoin issuers (IDRX, MYRC, tnSGD), and DeFi protocols (SuperEarn, AlphaSec).
Low transaction costs
Gas fees are a fraction of Ethereum mainnet, making it viable to settle every individual swap on-chain — even micro-transactions. No batch settlement needed.
What Kaia means for partners
Partners don’t interact with the blockchain directly. Ratio’s API abstracts all on-chain operations — partners send API requests and receive settlement confirmations without managing wallets, signing transactions, or paying gas. However, partners benefit indirectly:- Settlement certainty — Every confirmed swap is backed by a finalised on-chain transaction with no risk of reversal.
- Auditability — Every settlement has a
tx_hashverifiable on Kaia’s block explorer — an independent audit trail for compliance. - Transparency — Pool balances, LP token supply, and fee distributions are all visible on-chain.
