# Keeta vs. Solana

Solana is known for its high throughput, achieving tens of thousands of transactions per second (TPS), a major selling point for its ecosystem. However, this speed relies on vertically scaling nodes, requiring each to have substantial hardware resources. Nodes must invest in high-end hardware, but scalability limits remain. Upgrading hardware often necessitates shutting down nodes, leading to downtime and reduced reliability.

Keeta achieves high TPS through a flexible architecture that separates nodes from servers. By utilizing multiple servers per node, Keeta allows both vertical and horizontal scaling on demand without shutting down nodes. This design enables seamless hardware upgrades and scaling, ensuring consistent TPS performance under heavy load while maintaining decentralization and reducing bottlenecks.

Regulatory compliance is another area where Keeta surpasses Solana. While Solana lacks built-in mechanisms for Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance — critical for financial institutions — Keeta integrates these protocols directly into its platform. This ensures that institutions can easily adhere to legal requirements, making Keeta more attractive to banks and other entities operating in regulated industries.

Keeta's support for sub-nets and private networks also gives it an edge over Solana. While Solana operates as a single blockchain, Keeta allows users to create customized sub-nets or private networks that operate independently yet leverage the main network's security and scalability. This is particularly valuable for enterprises requiring tailored solutions with specific privacy or operational needs, offering a level of customization that Solana does not provide.
