Google’s Eric Schmidt-Backed Keeta: The Scalable Layer 1 Blockchain Built for Real-World Financial Systems

If you could rebuild the global payments system from scratch, it would look a lot like Keeta.

Backed by Eric Schmidt, the legendary former CEO of Google, Keeta is a new Layer 1 blockchain that isn’t trying to chase hype — it’s going after the trillion-dollar problem of slow, expensive cross-border payments.

At its core, Keeta is engineered for one simple promise:

Move money anywhere on Earth in under 400 milliseconds.

With a jaw-dropping 10 million transactions per second (TPS) and near-instant settlement, Keeta isn’t just another blockchain—it’s infrastructure-level technology designed to rival SWIFT, Visa, and legacy remittance systems. But speed alone isn’t the breakthrough.

Keeta is regulator-ready.

It bakes in on-chain KYC, AML, and sanctions screening, offering a level of compliance that banks and institutions can actually use. This isn’t a DeFi experiment — it’s a serious, institutional-grade network built for global scale.

Currently live in key markets like the U.S., U.K., Canada, Brazil, Mexico, and the EU, Keeta is targeting a massively underserved segment: payments under $1 million, where fees and delays are still the norm.

Its dual offering—a consumer-facing app and enterprise-level API—makes it equally usable for individuals sending money abroad and fintechs or banks powering international payments under the hood.

Behind the project are Ty Schenk (CEO) and Roy Keene (CTO), a former contributor to Nano’s lightning-fast protocol. Together, they’ve built what Schmidt calls “an order of magnitude more scalable than anything that exists today.”

“Most chains are chasing hype. Keeta is building infrastructure,” said AbdelAziz Alomari. “It’s one of the few projects that genuinely bridges speed, compliance, and trust at scale.”

And with the launch of the $KTA token in 2025, Keeta now gives investors and developers direct access to the engine behind this financial revolution.

In a sea of Layer 1s chasing the next meme narrative, Keeta is quietly building the next global money rail—fast, compliant, and battle-ready.

Whether you’re a fintech founder, a forward-thinking institution, or just someone tired of waiting three days to move your own money, one thing is clear:

Keeta isn’t the future of finance. It’s the upgrade finance has been waiting for.
