Current state of the Kaia ecosystem — DEXes, bridges, DeFi, wallets, oracles, and infrastructure. Use when recommending tools, protocols, or services on Kaia. Do NOT recommend dead or outdated projects.
Kaia's ecosystem is smaller and more curated than Ethereum's. Recommending the wrong project wastes developer time. This skill lists what's currently active and recommended.
Do NOT recommend: KLAYswap (effectively dead), Kleva, NEOPIN, Orbit Bridge (exploited).
