According to Decrypt, South Korean IT giant Kakao's digital bank KakaoBank is accelerating the development of a technical system that supports KRW stablecoins and tokenized assets, covering smart contract execution, token standards, full nodes, and issuance management backend; its blockchain partner Kaia has submitted at least four trademarks for Korean won-pegged stablecoins in August.Sam Seo, chairman of the Kaia Foundation, stated that they are in discussions with multiple parties regarding the KRW stablecoin POC, but details are not disclosed due to confidentiality.

ChainCatcher message, Kaia v2.1.0 is now live. This update focuses on supporting MEV Auction (KIP-249), enhancing API and storage performance, all without a hard fork.The new version allows for receiving BidTx, and external auction participants can pass the winner through a websocket connection (auction namespace). It is recommended to enable websocket and restrict access (using a firewall or allowlist is recommended). For full nodes, LevelDB enables snappy compression by default, allowing users to reclaim disk space through chain database compression, but this process is time-consuming and increases I/O load.For archive nodes, a new experimental FlatTrie feature has been added, which can be implemented through Erigon-style state layout, but requires resynchronization and some features are temporarily unavailable (such as eth_getProof, real-time pruning, rollback). Additionally, v2.1.0 introduces RocksDB support, RPC block parameters "safe" and "finalized", EIP-7702 checking mechanism, as well as more granular compression control and performance and stability optimizations.
