Keeta Network: The Potential and Challenges of Emerging Public Chains

Recently, a new "Dragon Slayer" has emerged in the crypto market - Keeta Network. This emerging Layer-1 solution has quickly attracted market attention and capital favor with its high-profile promotions such as "tens of millions of TPS" and "built-in compliance", as well as its token KTA experiencing a maximum increase of 8 times since May this year.

Technical Vision: The Possibility of Millions of TPS

Keeta Network claims to unify the global payment network and promote the efficient circulation of physical assets. Its core technical goals include: achieving transaction processing speeds of up to 10 million TPS, a transaction finality confirmation time of 400 milliseconds, extremely low transaction fees, and native integration of multi-token support, an expandable permission system, atomic swaps, and a digital identity and KYC/AML compliance framework implemented through X.509 certificates.

This ambitious goal far exceeds the processing capabilities of existing mainstream payment systems and blockchain networks. For example, a well-known payment platform has a processing capacity of about 544,000 transactions per second during peak periods, while a global payment network has an average processing capacity of several thousand transactions per second, peaking at tens of thousands.

From a technical perspective, Keeta adopts a hybrid architecture of the dPoS consensus mechanism and "virtual Directed Acyclic Graph" (virtual DAG). This technical route theoretically holds the potential to achieve tens of millions of TPS, but it may require certain compromises in decentralization and security. The test results published in the Keeta white paper show that the maximum tested TPS reached 13 million, but there were only 5 nodes participating in the test, raising questions about the practical reference value of the test results in such an environment.

Market Heat and Capital Background

The Keeta testnet is now online, currently showing a TPS that remains below 5000, with a total number of transactions exceeding 890 million. However, key information regarding the source of this test data and the current number of testnet nodes is not clear.

Nevertheless, Keeta has still attracted significant market attention in the short term, with its token KTA experiencing a notable surge in May 2025. This enthusiasm largely stems from the investment and endorsement of former Google CEO Eric Schmidt. In 2023, Eric Schmidt and a venture capital firm led a $17 million seed round investment in Keeta and served as a project advisor.

The Keeta token quietly launched on the Base chain in March 2025, and this meme coin-like listing method has sparked extensive discussions in the market. Starting from May 6, the price of the KTA token surged from a low of $0.1 to a high of $0.83, with a maximum increase of over 8 times.

Potential Risks and Uncertainties

Although Keeta exhibits certain qualities of a "potential stock", there are still some issues worth noting:

1. Community Ecology and Market Transparency: Compared to its market popularity, the activity level of the Keeta community and the involvement of developers do not seem to match.

2. Token Economics: Official materials indicate that 50% of the tokens are allocated to the community, with 80% unlocked during the TGE phase. However, the specific incentive plans and standards for the community were not clearly defined prior to the TGE, and the specific controlling party for this portion of the tokens remains unclear.

3. Technical verification: The specific implementation details and results of the core technology have not been fully verified.

4. Long-term risk control: In the fierce competition of public chains, whether Keeta can effectively break through remains uncertain.

Overall, Keeta presents a complex situation where potential and risk coexist. It could become a dark horse that disrupts the industry, or it could fall into mediocrity due to its inability to deliver on promises. Investors and market observers, while paying attention to the opportunities it brings, need to be clear-eyed about the risks lurking behind it and the many unanswered questions that remain. The future development of Keeta will depend on whether it can steadily translate its grand technological ambitions into reality.
