🚀 Key Highlights from the KIMA X Chaingpt X Space :
1. Kima's Core Technology
💠 A universal interoperability communication protocol enabling seamless interactions:
💠 Between any blockchain and any Web2/Web3 application.
💠 Between centralized apps (like banks or governments) and decentralized apps (dApps).
💠 Kima’s tech stack is partially centralized and proprietary (unforkable), and partially decentralized (open-source on Cosmos).
2. MasterCard Partnership
💠 Kima is integrated into the MasterCard Developer Sandbox, enabling:
💠 Charging prepaid MasterCard accounts with stablecoins like USDC.
💠 Live, direct transactions with no intermediaries, smart contracts, or oracles.
Example: Swiping your MasterCard at McDonald's directly uses USDC on Solana in real-time.
