Messaging App Line to Roll Out Mini Dapps on Platform Next Year

- Japanese messaging app Line plans to launch decentralized apps (dapps) for its 196 million users, starting with 30 by the end of January and aiming for 150 more by the end of Q1.

- The initiative highlights a trend of social media platforms integrating blockchain technology, similar to offerings from Telegram and WeChat.

- Line's dapps will include games, social apps, and DeFi, reflecting a shift from previous unsuccessful NFT features due to complexity and poor user experience.

- The chairman of Kaia DLT Foundation noted that the perception of NFTs as investment tools rather than ownership tools contributed to their limited success.
