The concept of decentralized infrastructure for financial transactions has gained significant popularity over the last decade. Small businesses and content creators worldwide view decentralized transactions as a means to bypass stringent regulations imposed by traditional financial institutions. As a result, they increase accessibility and security and lower costs for all, including those in underprivileged communities.
However, what if there was a blockchain that could combine the benefits of regulatory compliance and decentralized infrastructure into one? Perhaps compliance doesn’t have to be an obstacle for businesses and content creators since it offers security and protection for users. It simply needs to be innovated to adapt to the expectations and demands of a digital economy.
ZDKL: The Revolutionary New Canadian Blockchain Project
In May 2025, the multi-day 2025 Blockchain Futurist Conference took place in Toronto, Canada. It is the largest, longest-running, and most influential Web3 event in Canadian history, and it has recently expanded to the United States. During the conference, a Canadian-founded blockchain project, ZDKL, had a widely publicized debut as a Platinum Sponsor at the event. The co-founders, Erai and Kyleigha Beckmann were also invited speakers at Panama’s inaugural Nature Summit.
International audiences were immediately captivated by the capabilities of ZDKL. It is a project that could very well revolutionize how global payments are made and processed in its “Peace Through Trade” (PTT) Layer 1 PoW Blockchain. Erai and Kyleigha presented a persuasive vision for a specific utility coin called ZDKL-PTT, which drives the digital economy of the future. ZDKL-PTT is made to function solely as the utility gas fee of the PTT Layer 1 Blockchain ecosystem. Many institutional stakeholders, ranging from academic partners to developers, expressed great interest in the potential of this project.
ZDKL differs from other blockchains in that it is designed to benefit all individuals, not just cryptocurrency traders. It can also help retailers, artisans, farmers, content creators, and even non-profit organizations from diverse backgrounds. At the conference, many institutional players visited ZDKL’s immersive booth to learn more about its remarkable four-year journey from being a mere academic afterthought to a mainstream development that could change the world.
This PTT Layer 1 Blockchain is a community-funded, regulation-first protocol designed to power real-world commerce, equipping small businesses, content creators, and underserved communities with on-chain tools that help them achieve economic sovereignty. Erai and Kyleigha are now available for interviews and leadership opportunities regarding their blockchain project. They have already hit the media circuit and made headlines after participating in a comprehensive interview with Genzio and Blockchain North to discuss strategic partnerships between ZDKL and Singaporean leaders in Fintech.
Building a Legally Compliant, Peer-powered Blockchain Ecosystem
The founders aim to ensure legal compliance in Web3 projects and integrate real-world financial transactions and trade with on-chain value. Their regulation-first objective was a major point they discussed during their various media appearances. Since many blockchain projects operate unregulated across different jurisdictions, adopting a blockchain that adheres to real-world jurisdictional regulations can help establish legal frameworks that empower digital commerce and security for users.
Co-founder Kyleigha Beckmann conducted a separate interview in a segment for ETHWomen, where she discussed ZDKL’s commitment to diversifying blockchain leadership and investing in educational outreach to underprivileged communities. These types of communities often miss out on the latest technological innovations shaping the world due to their limited access to them. The hope is that ZDKL’s protocol will be built with regulatory compliance to ensure governments, businesses, and individuals can both trust and access the blockchain.
Between May 19th and May 22nd, 2025, Kyleigha attended and spoke at the inaugural Panama Nature Summit. This event brought together international government leaders to align philanthropic, public, and private capital. The Ministry of Environment of Panama invited ZDKL to attend the event and introduce its powerful and sustainable blockchain infrastructure. Kyleigha tried to emphasize how ZDKL could inspire humanity to build bridges to streamline trade and cultural exchange worldwide.
Here is the most notable quote from Kyleigha’s appearance at the Panama Nature Summit: “By enabling direct, transparent interactions and facilitating peer-to-peer trade and cultural exchange, Web 3.0 and blockchain not only drive innovation but also strengthen global connections while supporting the environment and our sustainability goals for the future.”
Why Web3 Infrastructure Must Serve Small Businesses and Content Creators
Most people are familiar with Web2 infrastructure, which represents websites featuring user-generated content, information sharing, and collaboration. The problem with Web2 infrastructure is that it is mostly controlled by companies that acquire personal user data in exchange for providing services.
On the other hand, Web3 infrastructure enables decentralized applications to run on blockchains, providing users with privacy and complete ownership and control over their personal data. Small businesses and content creators can both benefit from a Web3 digital world, as it enables them to bypass hefty institutional fees, maintain control over sensitive data, and access larger international markets that are not available to them on Web2.
How Global Trade and Cultural Exchange Can Thrive with Decentralized Systems
Many existing blockchains have struggled to create a successful environment for global trade and cultural exchange. The PTT blockchain offers tools that prioritize affordability, accessibility, and transparency for everyone, whether you’re a micro-business owner in Uganda or a major corporation in the United States. Anyone can open a digital storefront and conduct transactions on the blockchain. The payments are instant, and the transaction fees are almost non-existent.
The ZDKL project is dedicated to educating people worldwide about the benefits and functionalities of this innovative blockchain ecosystem. They currently offer workshops, strategy university partnerships, and multilingual content to make the blockchain as accessible to as many people as possible. If they can bridge the knowledge gap that often exists with marginalized communities and groups, then perhaps these new decentralized systems and technologies will be available to everyone.
Conclusion
ZDKL is currently working on a new milestone to introduce its public ZDKL Coin, otherwise referred to as ZDKL-PTT. Following its successful showcase at the 2025 Blockchain Futurist Conference and the Panama Nature Summit, ZDKL is well-positioned to become the leading Web3 project promoting international connectivity and digital commerce.
