AI, Lawful Trade & Global Access

Coin Edition got an exclusive first look at ZDKL’s vision for Web3. ZDKL Co-founders Erai & Kyleigha Beckmann have now shared how their AI-integrated, regulation-first blockchain simplifies digital trade for everyone, globally, embodying a “Peace Through Trade” philosophy while ensuring accessibility.

1. With the rise of blockchain adoption, what partnerships or ecosystems has ZDKL built to ensure its infrastructure remains inclusive and impactful?

ZDKL Coin was developed in compliance with Singapore’s regulatory framework for blockchain. The system is being built as one of the world’s first fully AI-integrated, self-healing Layer 1 blockchain ecosystems. We are forming a global network of partnerships—from fintech innovators to social commerce platforms—that share our mission of borderless, lawful trade. Our Peace Through Trade (PTT) Blockchain (L1 PoW) and ZDKL Coin (ZDKL-PTT) empower individuals, businesses, and underserved regions by offering a compliant and energy-efficient infrastructure. Anyone—even from a home computer—can potentially run a node using the ZDKL Wallet app. This inclusive approach ensures that global scalability is matched with real-world accessibility and sustainability.

2. If you had to explain ZDKL’s mission and value in one sentence to someone unfamiliar with blockchain, what would it be?

ZDKL Coin gives people everywhere the power to trade, potentially participate as miners and receive rewards for securing the network, and puts businesses and content creators in control of their own resources—using AI, clean energy, and lawful blockchain tools that are as easy to use as an app on your phone or laptop.

3. How does ZDKL handle on-chain identity and compliance, particularly in the context of cross-border trade and AML/KYC regulations?

As one of the world’s first regulation-first, AI-integrated blockchains, ZDKL features built-in AML/KYC-ready identity layers tailored to various jurisdictions, modeled after Singapore’s regulatory standards. Through optional privacy-preserving technology and secure third-party integrations, we balance user autonomy with regulatory compliance—that helps individuals and enterprises conduct transparent peer-to-peer transactions across borders, all verifiable through our blockchain explorer.

4. How is ZDKL simplifying the experience for non-technical users and traders, especially in underserved regions?

ZDKL is simplifying Web3 like never before. Our mobile-first, multilingual wallet app is designed for ease of use and regulatory readiness. Users in underserved or remote regions can participate using just a smartphone or basic laptop—no specialized hardware needed. Additionally, users can become network nodes directly through the wallet app, earning mining rewards and contributing to the ecosystem—all while benefiting from our energy-efficient architecture.

5. How does ZDKL practically integrate its “Peace Through Trade” philosophy into its infrastructure and global strategy?

“Peace Through Trade” is more than a slogan—it’s our foundation. ZDKL’s regulatory-first infrastructure, coupled with AI-enhanced governance tools, allows people to securely trade, collaborate, and resolve disputes across borders without excessive reliance on centralized intermediaries. By enabling users to operate decentralized, energy-efficient nodes from their homes, ZDKL transforms participation into empowerment—spreading economic opportunity and digital sovereignty at scale.

6. As a Platinum Sponsor of the 2025 Blockchain Futurist Conference, what key message or innovation is ZDKL presenting to the global Web3 community?

ZDKL is unveiling the future of lawful, scalable, and sustainable blockchain. We’re demonstrating that it’s possible to build an AI-powered, green-energy blockchain that meets the highest global compliance standards—while remaining simple and accessible enough to run on a home laptop. Our message is clear: Web3 should work for everyone, everywhere—securely, sustainably, and peacefully.

7. How does ZDKL differentiate itself from other blockchain projects in terms of scalability, user access, and regulatory compatibility?

Together with the Peace Through Trade (PTT) Blockchain, we focus on a human-centered mission while integrating AI for continuously updating, monitoring, and improving the system. This enables a self-healing, scalable infrastructure that improves upon both the network and user experience. 

Not just that, but our Proof-of-Work blockchain is built around Singapore’s blockchain guidelines to support lawful global expansion. The wallet app allows every user to potentially become a validator, contributor, and beneficiary—empowering participation in a more open, accessible, and peaceful digital economy.
