In crypto, it’s rare to find a Layer 1 that ticks all the boxes:
✅ Record-breaking performance
✅ High-profile backing
✅ Real-world use cases with banks

Catalysts: Featured in Nilson Report, Visa Global Registry, Google Cloud blog.
1. The Vision
Keeta positions itself as the network of networks:
Full interoperability: connects blockchains, banks, payment systems, and FX on-chain.
Native compliance: KYC, AML, and digital identity integrated at the protocol level.
Real-time payments: no third parties or extra layers.
Advanced asset rules: issuers can restrict transfers to regulator-approved wallets.
🎯 Goal: replace and improve the global financial infrastructure.
(SWIFT alone processes $7T/day).
2. Top-Tier Backing
Eric Schmidt (ex-CEO of Google):
Lead investor.
Says this could be the biggest project he’s ever been involved in.
Direct relationship with the team and public support.
Key institutional validation:
Featured in The Nilson Report — the most influential payment industry publication.
Read by Visa, Mastercard, major banks, and fintech executives.
Subscription costs $2,395/year, with no ads or sponsored content.
Clear sign Keeta is already on the radar of top decision-makers.
Keeta is officially listed on Visa’s Global Registry of Service Providers — another strong signal of institutional validation.
Google Cloud just published an official blog breaking down how Keeta achieved 11M TPS using Spanner: giving the project public visibility to enterprises and financial institutions.

“Tens of trillions of dollars worth of value are transferred across outdated financial systems daily — and Keeta Network has proven it has the speed, scale, and security to be the foundation for a new, interconnected ecosystem.”
3. Unique Technology
User-specific DAGs: millions of parallel DAGs, eliminating bottlenecks.
True horizontal scaling with multi-machine validators.
Native tokenization without smart contracts.
Configurable privacy for approved nodes.
Anchors to tokenize real-world or crypto assets.
Private bank sub-chains with their own governance.
📊 Performance & Finality Comparison:
Keeta: 11,000,000 TPS — 0.4 s finality
XRP: 1,500 TPS — 3–5 s finality
HBAR: 10,000 TPS — 3–5 s finality
Sui / Aptos: 180k–300k TPS
The performance gap is massive: Keeta is not only faster, but finalizes transactions almost instantly.

6. Narrative & Positioning
Institutional narrative similar to XRP ⟶ but with much more advanced technology and live pilots.
Built on Base (Coinbase’s L2) → potential direct integration into Coinbase.
7. Roadmap & Catalysts
✅ Completed catalysts
Featured in The Nilson Report (payments industry bible).
Keeta listed on Visa’s Global Registry of Service Providers.
Google Cloud published an official blog detailing Keeta’s 11M TPS performance with Spanner.
Public stress test (10M+ TPS) already validated.
Mainnet launch in June 2025 with multiple partnerships.
🚀 Upcoming catalysts
Stablecoin partner announcement after mainnet.
Visa card and KaPay launch.

More unannounced surprises.
8. Potential vs Competitors
💰 Current market caps:
XRP: $195B
HBAR: $11.2B
Keeta: $0.6B
📈 Theoretical upside:
Match XRP → x323
Match HBAR → x18
Perspective: While XRP and HBAR reached multi-billion valuations without clear regulatory alignment, Keeta is entering the market with built-in compliance and live pilots with banks ⟶ yet it’s valued under $1B.
9. Risks
⚠ Young project, not yet tested at large public scale.
⚠ Reliance on key partners.
⚠ High volatility.
⚠ Strong competition: XRP, HBAR, and future regulated L1s.
✅ However, Keeta has addressed one of the biggest concerns for new L1s: Token unlocks.
40% of $KTA supply (Team + Early investors) is assigned as equity to Keeta Inc. ⟶ Making them UNSELLABLE on the open market.
This ensures 0% sell pressure from these allocations, setting a precedent in tokenomics.
This effectively eliminates future sell pressure from insiders, giving Keeta one of the cleanest tokenomics structures in the industry.
🔍 Conclusion
Keeta Network aims to solve a massive, real-world problem: global payment infrastructure.
It offers unique tech, top-tier backing, solid institutional validation, and live pilots with banks and Visa.
Its valuation is far below competitors with less clear use cases, but it’s still a high-risk play due to its low cap.
💡 If you enter, do so with capital you’re willing to lose ⟶ and follow the project closely.
Investment Thesis: Keeta is positioning itself as the compliance-first backbone for trillions in payments. If execution matches the vision, it could redefine the intersection of crypto and traditional finance.
