Kaia, a layer-1 blockchain developed by two leading Asian social messaging apps, has introduced its mainnet to bring Telegram-like apps to Line. The Ethereum Virtual Machine-based chain, launched on Aug. 29, promises fast processing speeds of about one second and minimal gas fees. The Kaia DLT Foundation also revealed Kaia Wave, a program enabling developers to create mini decentralized applications for Line users. Kaia emerged from the merger of Japan's Line and South Korea's Kakao, boasting a user base of over 250 million across Asia. While specific mini DApps for Line were not disclosed, the move follows Telegram's introduction of blockchain-based Mini Apps in 2023. Despite its innovative features, the TON blockchain, used by Telegram, has faced recent outages due to network overload from a memecoin airdrop. The potential of blockchain technology in social media remains a topic of interest and exploration.

Rise in Malicious DApps Using Inferno Drainer Tool

Thursday. August 29 at 7:00 PM

The number of decentralized applications (DApps) utilizing the Inferno Drainer tool has tripled as scammers intensify their efforts to steal cryptocurrency. Blockaid, a Web3 security firm, reported a surge in new Inferno Drainer DApps, reaching 40,000 by July 2024. Oz Tamir from Blockaid noted the threefold increase in malicious DApps employing the tool. These malicious DApps, designed for crypto phishing, deceive users into approving token access, enabling scammers to pilfer funds. Despite claims of shutdown in 2023 after stealing $70 million, the Inferno Drainer resurfaced and remains active. Tamir downplays the tool's sophistication, attributing its prevalence to scammers' adaptability. The rise in malicious activities aligns with a spike in scam attempts and the bullish crypto market. Attackers exploit new chains with weaker security, viewing them as lucrative targets. The trend underscores the ongoing battle against crypto scams.
