$Kaia v2.0.3 is live!

A major milestone in our v2.0 upgrade series, bringing enhanced performance, protocol compatibility, and UX innovations.

Here’s what it unlocks 👇🧵

v2.0.3 is part of the broader $Kaia v2.0 mainnet rollout, spanning versions 2.0.0 to 2.0.3 and introduces:

• Consensus Liquidity (CL) infra

• Gas Abstraction (GA) support

• Ethereum Prague hardfork compatibility

• Major stability & API improvements

All mainnet nodes are recommended to upgrade.

Consensus Liquidity (CL): Staking + Liquidity, Combined 🧪

$Kaia v2.0 introduces a novel mechanism where users can stake to validators and provide DEX liquidity at the same time, with just one deposit.

Key effects:

• Dual rewards: staking + LP

• Higher chain TVL

• Fee burn or reinjection into LPs

• Ecosystem synergy with partner tokens (starts with $BORA)

Gas Abstraction: Pay Gas in USDT or $BORA 💸

Users no longer need $KAIA to cover gas fees.

With GA:

• Fees can be paid directly in stablecoins

• Token swaps + execution are bundled trustlessly

• Zero relayers or centralized paymasters

• Better UX for dApps and wallets

Live on Kairos testnet. Full rollout by the end of July.
