Hey, I actually had a conversation about a week ago with some people from @Broad_Land who are building on Keeta about the strength of the KTA token. I’ll copy the message here, as it went over +/- everything about the strength of the KTA token;
At a base level, KTA is used to secure the network through representative voting, and it’s also used for network fees. But more importantly, holding KTA unlocks key functionality across the network. For example, to connect private subnets to the public Keeta ledger, entities are required to hold a currently undisclosed amount of KTA.
So hypothetically, if Visa were to run a subnet on Keeta and wanted to connect it to the public ledger, they would need to hold KTA to enable that connection.
But what’s more overlooked is the economic incentive this creates for institutions. Any company or financial institution building on or relying on Keeta is naturally incentivized to secure its position within the network by holding KTA.
This is similar to how traditional companies operate. For example, NVIDIA often takes stakes in key suppliers to secure its supply chain and maintain influence over critical infrastructure it depends on.
The same dynamic applies here. If a bank like Bank of America were to use Keeta as part of its internal ledger or financial infrastructure, and had customer data and transactions flowing through it, they would be strongly incentivized to accumulate and hold KTA. Not just for access, but to gain influence over governance and ensure their interests are represented at the network level.
If many different FIs and companies move their assets through Keeta Net, it would create millions, billions, or even trillions of dollars in assets being moved on the network. And of course, if we go back to the fundamentals of the network, Keeta is a neutral party so they'll accept anyone from any country etc.
So we would see different countries and regions involved within the network. For example, we can take the current geopolitical situation between China and the USA. Let’s say there are major advancements on the BD side and Keeta starts moving a majority of Chinese FI funds, etc., and they have a large stake in the network. Do you think Western companies will just sit back and let Chinese FIs/Chinese Goverment have the majority stake in the network?
I personally don’t think so. If you are betting on rapid growth and companies rapidly adopting and utilizing Keeta Net worldwide, you can also bet on what you could call “bid wars” for KTA tokens, as countries, companies, and entities try to secure their influence in the network.
Over time, this creates a competitive dynamic. If multiple institutions, regions, or even countries begin relying on Keeta, you could see a form of economic competition emerge where entities accumulate KTA to secure influence, access, within the network.
This, of course, only works in a world where @KeetaNetwork succeeds in its mission, and I’ll leave it up to anyone reading this to decide whether they believe in that mission themselves. But that is the essential strength of the KTA token.
