SODAX (Soda Xchange), a DeFi-focused successor model to the ICON network and a cross-chain execution system, has integrated Kaia into its cross-network infrastructure, the company said on Tuesday. Kaia was created through the merger of Klaytn and Finschia.
The integration allows Kaia to connect to more than 17 ecosystems linked to the SODAX system, including Solana, Sui and various EVM-based networks.
SODAX, which began in 2017 as ICON, rebranded in 2025 and transitioned into a cross-network DeFi execution layer with the Sonic blockchain as its hub.
Min Kim (민 킴), chief executive of SODAX, said the integration brings Korean users and developers a step closer to an environment like using a "modern money app" that goes beyond simply moving tokens and processes the financial purpose users want through to completion. He said that by managing liquidity and execution in an integrated way across more than 17 networks, it will support builders so they can focus on the essence of their services without worrying about underlying infrastructure.
