Making Payments More Affordable

Blockchain technology has revolutionized digital payments with its promise of decentralization and security. However, one persistent challenge has been the escalating transaction fees as networks become more congested. This issue stems from the inherent limitations of traditional blockchain consensus mechanisms and block structures.

The Fee Problem in Traditional Blockchains

In proof of work (PoW) systems like Bitcoin, fees are essential to attract miners who compete to validate transactions in a linear pattern by solving complex mathematical puzzles. As the network grows in popularity and value, more users join, driving up competition and consequently, transaction fees. This mechanism ensures security but at the cost of increasing fees and energy consumption.

Proof of stake (PoS) systems, on the other hand, replace miners with validators who stake the native currency to participate in transaction validation. Validators are rewarded with transaction fees for their service, but the mechanism still suffers from fee escalation during peak network activity. 

To eliminate this problem, networks would need to increase the throughput to be capable of completing more transactions each second than the network’s users demand. This has proven to be a nearly impossible task for existing solutions.

Keeta's Innovative Approach to Fees and Scalability

Keeta introduces a paradigm shift in blockchain scalability and transaction fees with its advanced DAG-based architecture and high throughput capability of 50 million transactions per second. Unlike traditional blockchains, Keeta processes transactions in parallel, eliminating the competition for block space and significantly reducing fees.

Eliminating Fee Competition with Parallel Execution

In Keeta's DAG-based system, transactions are processed in parallel rather than sequentially, ensuring that each transaction can be confirmed swiftly without competing for limited block space. This approach not only enhances transaction speed, with settlements occurring in as little as 400 milliseconds, but also stabilizes fees by removing the fee auction model seen in traditional blockchains.

Rewarding Validators while Lowering Costs

Despite the absence of fee competition, Keeta ensures that validators are still incentivized to maintain network security and integrity. Validators are rewarded with transaction fees for validating transactions, but the decentralized nature of Keeta's delegated proof of stake (dPoS) mechanism allows users to choose validators based on fee structures and other metrics. Validators that charge excessively high fees risk losing validation opportunities as users opt for more competitive alternatives, thereby fostering a naturally balanced fee market. Additionally, Keeta’s unique delegation of power reduces the number of computers online, making it a more affordable solution.

Facilitating Blockchain Adoption

By drastically reducing transaction fees without compromising on security or speed, Keeta makes blockchain technology more feasible for widespread adoption across various industries. Organizations and developers can leverage Keeta's efficient and cost-effective infrastructure to replace outdated ledger systems with a transparent, affordable solution.

Keeta's Impact on the Future of Blockchain

Keeta represents a significant leap forward in blockchain technology, addressing critical limitations of existing systems with its innovative approach to scalability and transaction fees. By leveraging the network’s technology, Keeta lowers barriers to blockchain adoption. As blockchain continues to evolve, Keeta stands at the forefront, reshaping the landscape of digital payments and paving the way for a digital economy.
