To celebrate the launch of @doublezero’s TGE today, I'd like to share what attracted @Delphi_Ventures to the project in the first place (disclosure: we are investors) a) Ambitious vision: DoubleZero is building a private, super-speed, ultra-low-jitter internet, tailor made for major target audiences: sophisticated traders (esp. HFT), AI loads, content delivery, and gaming. b) Needed product: I predict that real-time blockchains will have so much traffic that they will run up against issues core to the internet itself: max speed + capacity. Doublezero fixes this. c) Top tier team: @Austin_Federa is a top tier business operative who worked his way up from the bottom to a senior executive at Solana Labs. Andrew McConnell spent 18 years designing high performance systems at Jump, Nasdaq, and KCG Holdings to name a few. Mateo Ward has approx. 2 decades of experience building out high-grade telecom infra. Together, this is the dream team These are the reasons that got us excited about the project, and they maintain our excitement.

Had a blast hosting @sapijiju on the pod talking all things $PUMP The platform’s been polarizing, but the fundamentals are hard to ignore. At a time when many would call the trenches cooked, they’re running ~$650M in annualized buybacks off trailing 30d revenue Might need another SOL DAT just to keep up with all the SOL they’re offloading into PUMP
