What is DoubleZero (2Z)?

Deep Dive

1. Purpose & Value Proposition

DoubleZero addresses inefficiencies in public internet routing that slow down blockchain validators. By creating a decentralized network of private fiber links, it provides a “fast lane” for data transmission between nodes. This reduces latency by up to 82% compared to traditional internet paths (DoubleZero FAQ), directly improving blockchain performance metrics like block finality and validator rewards.

2. Technology & Architecture

The network operates on multicast transport (simultaneous data delivery to multiple nodes) and edge filtration (blocking spam at hardware level). Contributors supply underutilized fiber bandwidth, forming a global mesh optimized for blockchain traffic. For example, Solana validators using DoubleZero can prioritize transactions and reduce jitter during high congestion (DoubleZero Mainnet Launch).

3. Tokenomics & Governance

• 2Z token: Used to pay for network access, reward contributors, and stake for security.
• Supply mechanics: Fixed 10B total supply with controlled inflation for new rewards and burns to offset artificial traffic.
• No governance: Unlike many tokens, 2Z doesn’t grant voting rights, focusing purely on utility (What 2Z is Not).

Conclusion

DoubleZero reimagines internet infrastructure for blockchains, prioritizing speed and reliability through decentralized fiber networks. Its 2Z token aligns incentives between contributors and users without speculative baggage. Can DoubleZero’s physical-layer innovation become the standard for high-performance chains beyond Solana?
