DoubleZero - the network behind the chains
Read - how dedicated physical infrastructure can scale Solana to the next level!
\\ Thread
1/11 DoubleZero isn't another L1 or L2 - it's the world's first "N1," a dedicated physical infrastructure layer built for high-performance blockchains like Solana.
Think the internet's backbone, optimized for crypto.
2/11 Today's internet is great for general connectivity but weak for blockchain performance.
Current infrastructure creates bottlenecks, fundamentally limiting blockchain scalability.
3/11 DoubleZero is creating a permissionless network of private fiber links combined with edge filtering hardware.
Anyone can contribute unused bandwidth to build a unified global fabric optimized for distributed systems.
4/11 The architecture uses two rings: an outer ring with special hardware for protection and spam filtering, and an inner ring with dedicated bandwidth for consensus.
This removes base layer bottlenecks that limit validator performance.
5/11 Performance benefits include increased transaction throughput, reduced latency, enhanced validator performance through hardware acceleration, and the ability to expand geographic validator distribution globally.
6/11 DoubleZero has been founded by @Austin_Federa and backed by $28M from Dragonfly and Multicoin Capital at a $400M valuation.
Jump Crypto is also a core contributor, providing bandwidth infrastructure.
7/11 Currently in testnet across major cities, including Singapore, Tokyo, Los Angeles, New York, London, Amsterdam, etc.
Each city has DoubleZero devices providing connectivity and hardware for transaction filtering.
8/11 At @SolanaConf, Jump Crypto's Firedancer demo showed incredible performance, partially thanks to running on DoubleZero infrastructure.
The results speak for themselves.
9/11 The economic model burns fees paid in DoubleZero tokens, then remints 50% to bandwidth contributors as rewards.
This creates sustainable incentives for network participants to contribute fiber infrastructure.
10/11 While showcased with Solana, DoubleZero is blockchain-agnostic and designed for any distributed system needing low latency and high bandwidth - from DeFi to gaming to AI model training.
11/11 DoubleZero represents a fundamental shift: dedicated physical infrastructure for crypto.
By removing networking bottlenecks, it could unlock the next level of blockchain performance and scalability.
