How blockchain network Keeta processes 11 million transactions per second with Spanner

Keeta Network is a layer‑1 blockchain that unifies transactions across different blockchains and payment systems, eliminating the need for costly intermediaries, reducing fees, and enabling near‑instant settlements. By facilitating cross‑chain transactions and interoperability with existing payment systems, Keeta bridges the gap between cryptocurrencies and fiat, enabling a secure, efficient, and compliant global financial ecosystem.

Founded in 2022 and backed by Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, Keeta has engineered its network to meet the stringent regulatory and operational requirements of financial institutions. Its on‑chain compliance protocols, including Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML), ensure security and regulatory adherence. Keeta’s architecture also natively supports asset tokenization and digital identity, making it an ideal platform for stablecoins and real‑world asset transfers.

Recently, the company conducted a public, verified stress test of its network, which runs on Spanner, Google Cloud’s horizontally scalable, highly available operational database. The test demonstrated Keeta Network is capable of over 11 million transactions per second (TPS), significantly outperforming traditional layer-1 blockchains and opening new opportunities for what is possible with blockchain technology.

Keeta chose Spanner to power its distributed ledger due to its availability and elastic scalability, allowing the team to scale up or down as needed without downtime, costly over-provisioning, or risky manual administration. Google Cloud was also instrumental in helping to prepare and execute Keeta’s stress test, providing world-class infrastructure and technical guidance that helped validate the network’s real-world performance.

With Spanner’s fully managed operations and familiar relational developer experience, Keeta was able to focus on its network — not database infrastructure or distributed systems. At peak, Spanner handled 300,000 queries per second, reading and writing durable state to read balances, check permissions, resolve conflicts, and publish votes.
