It’s time. @KeetaNetwork $KTA

It’s not only a Keeta web wallet UI rebrand. For one, it’s an app with functionality that hasn’t been done on-chain before at this kind of unified coverage: holding fiat balances natively, performing FX conversions between them, sending money inbound and outbound anywhere in the world all within a single application, and so on (refer to the initial March post on @KeetaNetwork for full list). You legit are able to pay bills and handle your day-to-day activities on chain send funds to bank accounts around the world: x.com/KeetaNetwork/s… Since Keeta Personal itself is the consumer-facing product, it obviously needs good UX for consumers to use it. If the underlying functionality doesn’t have a UI to interact with it, how can anyone use it Beyond the app and Keeta’s own product, everything they announced will be available within the Keeta SDK to build on. So let’s say I want to build a neobank for example. Instead of integrating each functionality one by one, I’m able to just use the Keeta SDK to do it 10x easier, without negotiating compliance for each component or managing multiple vendor relationships and integrations. It also gets amplified. Every new Anchor that comes online, whether deployed by the Keeta team or by an external party, expands what is available to every product built on the SDK. If you’re building a neobank on top of Keeta and a new Anchor opens access to a market you care about, you get that automatically. You do not have to go out and build it yourself

The Keeta Personal teaser is a lot bigger than people realize. From the UI alone we can already see: • Bank transfer deposits • USD/EUR account details • Routing numbers + IBANs • Fiat balances • Stablecoin balances • $KTA balances • Treasury/checking/savings accounts • Shared/member account access • QR deposits and transfers • Transaction history This isn’t just a crypto wallet. The bigger play has always been financial infrastructure. If this rolls out the way many think it will, you’re looking at a system designed to move value globally across both traditional finance and blockchain rails in real time. That’s a much bigger category than any other crypto project We probably won’t moon overnight. Networks take time to grow. But for people who held through all the noise, you can finally start to see what the vision has been pointing toward. I don’t think Ty will disappoint. Next Friday should be interesting. @KeetaNetwork

Based on my comparison, it's safe to say Keeta has an extremely good chance of maturing into a powerful and widely used network, on a similar, or even faster timeline than Solana. I am testing the quoted statement below comparing Solana to Keeta at the same stage of their network life-cycles (about eight months in). My ultimate conclusion is that I think Joan is mostly wrong that Solana had widespread significant advantages at similar points. Both networks show different strengths and weaknesses at similar points in time, but both were relatively primitive at eight months. Both show enormous potential. Comparing the two networks at their eight-month points shows first that the networks are significantly different in a lot of ways making the comparison feel a bit wrong - but I do it anyway. Second, Solana excelled at many things Keeta does not, but Keeta excels at many things Solana did not. The two networks do also have some significant similarities around the same time in their life-cycles. I do agree with Joan that Solana Foundation was more active initially in supporting public third-party development of the network, but disagree with him in that I think his conclusion ignores a lot of Keeta's strengths that show up as early weaknesses for Solana. I also think Keeta can, and probably will catch up in network development very rapidly, within the first 1.5 years of its network life, which is right around where Solana first started to really shine. I think this because a lot of Keeta's network development is done privately, where most of Solana's development was public from the beginning. The hypothesis (also quoted below): "Solana moved VERY different than this in its early days. Keeta runs on promises while seemingly there's no community activity. Solana was quite the opposite, lots of enthusiastic people building on it, lots of activity while the foundation tried it's hardest to moderate and scale" My analysis: Keeta network launched September 22, 2025, so I will consider it eight months old, and run network comparisons between Solana and Keeta in each network’s first eight months of public availability. Solana launched March 16, 2020, so I’ll compare the state of Solana to Keeta around Solana in November 2020. First it’s worth noting that the networks are significantly different. Solana uses proof of history and generally runs applications with smart contracts. Keeta is a parallel processing DAG that generally runs applications with anchors. They also have some similarities: low transaction cost, fast transaction processing, and scalability that outpaces most other blockchain networks. It’s also worth noting that the digital asset markets are in vastly different places now than they were in 2020. They’re five years more mature now. My ultimate conclusion is that each network has its strengths and weaknesses, but that Keeta is only significantly behind Solana in decentralization metrics, and is either very close to, or ahead of Solana in everything else. 1. Data analytics – Keeta (strongly) First, I was not able to find any real analytical data tools for Solana in its first eight months at all. The best I could find was tokenterminal (tokenterminal.com/explorer/proje…) which has data for Solana beginning in November 2020 (8 months after launch). Keeta had a couple very good data analytics tools available within the first months: keetools.org and astrupdata.com/analytics. Unless I’m missing something, Keeta wins this category by a longshot. 2. User activity – Solana (slightly) The earliest data point I have for Solana active daily users is basically December 2020. I’m assuming with both chains that “users” means “accounts.” Solana ranged between about 500-1,000 active daily users in December 2020 (about nine months after launch). After about eight months, Keeta ranges usually between 50-200 daily transactions, so I’d say probably no more than 100 active daily users after eight months. Even though we don’t have exact data points here, Solana wins with a substantial amount more user activity, but still both close with under 1,000 daily users. 3. Network applications –Tie (Keeta wins in application sophistication and focus, Solana wins in application volume). Solana is a more inherently “crypto-native” platform to build on, as it used smart-contract technology to establish its early applications. Keeta takes a less crypto-traditional approach with anchors, which give more feature functionality, but also provide fewer options for completely trustless applications. Solana’s first DEX was Serum, launched around the six-month mark on August 31, 2020. docs.projectserum.com/introduction/o…. Other more popular DEXs launched in 2021, around or after Solana’s 1-year mark: Orca (Feb 2021), Raydium (Feb 2021), Jupiter (Oct 2021). Keeta’s main DEX is Alpaca, which has exchange functionality, token-creation functionality, and now onchain onboarding functionality from Coinbase. alpacadex.com. Alpaca DEX launched in November 2025, two months after Keeta launched. This is about 3x faster than we saw any DEX launch on Solana. Alpaca is also moving quickly into the RWA asset space – which to my knowledge was not really on anyone’s radar eight months into Solana’s network operations, which really began taking off on Solana in 2024. In 2020 Solana did have some other minor applications like Bonfida (a still-popular Solana name-service), and a few others that never really took off. It still remains to be seen how these early Keeta applications will end up, but already there are some very powerful apps. NFTs began being published on Solana around March 2021 (after about one year). The first NFT platforms launched on Solana in August 2021, after about 1.5 years. Keeta already has an NFT platform (punkswap) and has several NFT collections, launched within the first eight months. It’s worth noting that part of Solana’s real user-growth was in large part due to the NFT ecosystem. Keeta’s early NFT ecosystem does not appear to have the same force that Solana’s had. Keeta also has other apps popping up, like prediction markets, and the applications Keeta Inc. is building, for example, payments protocols, on-chain fiat, banking applications, foreign exchange markets. While Keeta has released some early-features for these applications (like bank to chain transactions through Bridge, or on-chain KYC verification certificates), we have still not seen the bulk of what Keeta is building released in production format. This could help significantly spark on-chain activity. While Solana foundation supported a lot of applications, they appeared to be a lot less targeted in building enterprise-grade solutions on top of its network early on. Keeta is also more primed at moving value through the network, while Solana had a much larger focus on retaining value on the network to use for application purposes. These significantly different application-focuses will probably lead each network down significantly different paths. It makes me wonder if their utility is even really worth comparing. The one aspect I’ll give to Solana is that I suspect there was a lot higher volume of network development early on, where Keeta appears to have a few very strong applications, Solana appeared to have a wider variety of applications. 4. Decentralization – Solana (strongly) It was hard to find the exact amount of validators running on Solana in November 2020, but as of December 2020 Solana claimed to have over 350 active validators, and had hosted its first hackaton with over 1,000 developers participating. solana.com/news/year-in-r…. Keeta on the other hand has 4 validators, all controlled by Keeta Inc. The stated reason for this is to allow efficient initial network updates, and for Keeta to set up a system where KTA tokens locked on Base network can be delegated to Keeta’s Keeta network native nodes. Keeta did describe that they intended to release documentation to allow other validators to begin running network infrastructure, and this was supposed to initially be done within the first 2 months,, but we have not yet seen that or have a clear understanding of when third parties will have the ability to run transaction validation infra. My sense is that Keeta opening the network infrastructure to third parties could spark a lot of network activity, but Solana had third parties running infra from the start, whereas Keeta still does not. However, Keeta does have third parties interested in running nodes, such as the Murf team, and another larger network entity that is not yet disclosed. 5. Market capitalization - Tie In April 2020, $SOL market cap was around $5m. In Solana’s first eight months, $SOL market cap peaked at $157m on August 31, 2020. By November 2020 it fell to $64m, dropping substantially. SOL hovered around $50m-$150m market cap for nearly its entire first months until about early January 2021 market cap shot up to about $938m in less than a week. It shows how quickly market sentiment can change with these native L1 tokens. $SOL did a 10x in less than a week to really kick things off. Keeta’s token took a different path, launching in a “fair launch” on Base network before the network went live. KTA went from essentially nothing to a $600m market cap pre-network launch. When Keeta network went live, the token was already at a $457m market cap, and has since fallen to a $70m market cap as of today (this ignores FDV which may be a more accurate metric to look at, but market cap is easier to compare than FDV because Solana’s maximum supply is infinite, where KTA is capped at 1 billion tokens). KTA’s fall has been larger than SOL, but they both experienced extreme drops in value during their first eight months. Notably, SOL’s lowest points in value after its initial price spike were around 8 months post-launch (where we are with KTA now), and late December 2020 – two weeks before SOL went over 10x. If KTA follows a similar path to SOL, we would expect to see the Keeta network to reach initial maturity and the price to follow roughly ten months after network launch. For KTA, this would be July-August 2026, in the next 2-3 months. That also lines up with what we know about Keeta’s upcoming Q2 product releases, and gives a substantial amount more time for Keeta network to grow with third party applications and (hopefully) decentralize with third party validators. All this to say is that while KTA has certainly took a harder price hit, both tokens experienced extreme volatility, and SOL’s first eight months never really saw any significant price action near $1b market cap. When put into this perspective, the networks market cap lows around the same time we almost identical. Also, SOL listed to markets like Binance in early 2020, but took over a year to list to Coinbase. On the other hand, KTA is listed to Coinbase but has not yet listed on Binance. Each token was generally widely accessible to crypto-regular users at eight months in. 6. Network stability – Keeta (for now) Keeta has been tested (on testnet) to remain stable up to 11m TPS with Google Cloud Spanner, confirmed by Google independently. cloud.google.com/blog/topics/fi…. Keeta has not yet experienced any network outage (to my knowledge) and has run with 100% uptime, even through third-party user based stress-tests and intentional network spam. Solana experienced its first network outage in December 2020, about nine months after it launched, for about six hours. helius.dev/blog/solana-ou…. Solana experienced other outages in September 2021, January 2022, April/May 2022,June 2022, September 2022, February 2023, and February 2024. Solana appears stable now. Time will tell whether Keeta survives with 100% uptime or experiences any outages. However, Keeta’s network infrastructure appears to be more resistant to congestion-related outages due to its parallel transaction processing and DAG architecture. Two major caveats is that Keeta runs a lot less validators, leading to greater theoretical stability, and Keeta has not experienced the amount of volume or usage as what caused many of Solana’s later outages. So it remains to be seen whether Keeta will survive mass-network usage at a similar or greater scale than Solana. Still, Solana experienced its initial December 2020 outage from a block propagation bug – not from congestion. Keeta, from what we can tell, does not have those critical stability issues early on. 7. Network Security - Unknown to me While neither network appears to have had or has any major security vulnerabilities, one interesting aspect is that Solana did not have hardware wallet support from Ledger until March 2022 (about 2 years after launch). ledger.com/blog-you-can-n…. My understanding is Keeta will offer ledger network support this year, moving much more quickly on the network security front than Solana. Another interesting aspect to point out is that Keeta was built to become quantum-resistant, which is a major benefit in its native infrastructure. Overall I don't have enough expertise or understanding to really chime in here, other than it appears Keeta has more modern security infrastructure and is moving slightly faster than Solana, which makes sense, because it is a newer network. That's not to say Solana cannot catch up (or is not already more secure in ways I do not understand). For that reason, I'll leave this one open. Ultimate conclusion restated from above: Based on my comparison, it's safe to say Keeta has an extremely good chance of maturing into a powerful and widely used network, on a similar, or even faster timeline than Solana.

One funny thing about history is that the best ideas rarely look like good ideas in the moment. They usually seem unrealistic, risky, or impossible. It’s only after they succeed that people look back and call them inevitable. Trust your own convictions.

Nothing in here is true. I left the discord chat because a moderator was frustratingly mischaracterizing my words. My discussion with Ty was a bit more heated than usual, but I always appreciate his willingness to engage with me.

@CryptoTice_ Hmmmm, interesting. I wonder whose rails they’re going to use to facilitate the speed, volume and cross-currency features that a country like UAE will require. $KTA

@coinbureau @KeetaNetwork @schenkty Will you be the rails driving this?

⚡️VISA LAUNCHES AI AGENT PAYMENT PLATFORM Visa unveiled "Intelligent Commerce Connect", enabling AI agents to make purchases for consumers across multiple card networks. The platform is in pilot and expected to launch broadly by June, per Axios.

What actually breaks when crypto meets banks? 🤔 We talked with @KeetaNetwork and broke down how Keeta links banks, payment rails and blockchains into one layer — with parallel execution and smooth $KTA flows. Dive into the full interview on our blog 🔽 changenow.io/blog/keeta-bri…

(1/5) Imagine a single global account that holds balances in 25+ currencies at once. Keeta's multi-currency accounts will provide a single wallet where users worldwide can hold multiple fiat currencies simultaneously, fully backed 1:1 with reserves held at regulated banking partners.

Someone could go to school for 4 years and study aerospace engineering, then get a PhD with a dissertation related to orbital mechanics, and some instagram influencer who watched a youtube video will be like "actually that guy is wrong" on a topic related to space travel and people will believe them. I'm not sure how we got here, but I hope we go back to a society where credibility is earned with rigorous training in the associated field, not by a popularity contest.

People are still trying to understand what Keeta actually does So I built something to show it keeta-route-engine.vercel.app Think Kayak, but for payment routing You put in what you want to send and where it’s going It shows the different ways it can move Keeta native Hybrid (part Keeta, part traditional rails) Card payout SWIFT You can see: cost FX speed final amount received It’s all simulated information right now but based on everything that’s been shared publicly, this is pretty close directionally Big thing that stands out is how much gets eaten up in traditional routes vs keeping it on Keeta rails as long as possible This isn’t just moving money it’s choosing the best path for it If routing and quote data goes live, something like this could turn into more than just a visual You’d just enter what you want to send and where it’s going and the best route handles itself underneath I didn’t optimize it for mobile yet so desktop view is cleaner but you can still use it on your phone @KeetaNetwork $KTA

If you want to see what I've been working on, check out KTA-Oracle. Built for AI agents on Keeta: whale alerts, live global payment rates, and deep compliance data. Any feedback or support helps me a ton! 🙏 @KeetaNetwork $KTA github.com/Elemzir/KTA-Or…

Most projects focus on marketing, paid partnership and misleading narratives, while underdelivering in technical innovation failing to advance crypto beyond speculation and vaporware. Not so @KeetaNetwork and @schenkty, which are building non-stop and actually bridging the gap between finance and crypto. These are the rails for the next generation of global finance unfolding right in front of our eyes.

Global bank accounts in 190+ countries. 20+ tokenized fiat currencies. Local deposits in 7 regions. Global SWIFT deposits. FX Atomic swaps. 20+ blockchain rails. 90+ fiat rails. 24/7/365. 11M+ TPS. Native Digital Identity. Complete Global KTA Clearinghouse. We here to win.

This is the part people aren’t fully clocking. Being a VD enabler isn’t just “using Visa Direct” it’s sitting in the distribution layer. If you can’t get direct access → you don’t get locked out, You get routed through Keeta That’s a completely different position in the stack. Over time, that means: → more integrations → more volume flowing through the network → more dependency on the rails People are looking at it like a feature… when it’s actually infrastructure positioning. Big difference.

Q2 is shaping up to be the turning point for Keeta Ty said in Discord mobile is coming in Q2 He also confirmed institutions are ready and should be coming online in Q2 That’s not a roadmap anymore That’s rollout This isn’t just infrastructure sitting there waiting This is both sides turning on at the same time Users get access through mobile Institutions bring the volume Most people are still waiting for a headline to validate this But the real signal is already here Q2 is when it starts @KeetaNetwork $KTA

Saw this in Discord today and it made me excited about the possibilities @xescure said what if Visa is basically upgrading its own stack Visa Direct and CurrencyCloud by running it on Keeta Ty replied and said those two would benefit the most He didn’t dodge it He pointed right at them That’s payouts and FX literally what Keeta is built for So instead of replacing Visa it just makes what they already do better If something like this actually happens you’re talking real volume And suddenly Ty saying Keeta is built for 20T a day doesn’t sound crazy anymore @KeetaNetwork $KTA

Not in the customer base after all, but rather an actual service provider of VisaDirect that other customers can tap into. I mean, come on. Keeta was listed in the friggin' Nilson Report amongst other top payment providers. The writing was on the wall a long time ago. $KTA 🐆
