With all the debate about token buybacks (which I’ve been against in 98% of use cases) this is a good time to resurface our article from this summer outlining a Proof of Utility based reward model for networks ecosystems https://t.co/snUOvutH6Q The answer starts with first principles. On the DoubleZero network, the ultimate quotient of contribution is useful connectivity, i.e. connectivity that aligns with demand and that is meaningfully more performant than the public internet.

If you use RPCs on Solana, this one's for you. RPCs on the DoubleZero network are a huge step forwards. Until this point, DoubleZero has been focused on validator to validator data flows (block propagation, voting, etc). Adding RPCs brings another critical component, user data flows. RPCs operating over DoubleZero will have lower latency and faster transmission to validators already connected in to DoubleZero, which is ~40% of the blocks today.

Solana runs on great infrastructure, and we’re proud to help push it forward. Together with @doublezero, we’re taking Jupiter’s validator to the next level. The DoubleZero Delegation Program has delegated 500K+ SOL to Jupiter’s validator, strengthening both our performance and the Solana network as a whole. Built on DoubleZero’s best-in-class infra, this upgrade means: - Better transaction landing - Faster consensus - Smoother trading experience for all Jupiter users Benefiting the entire Solana ecosystem. Increase Bandwidth. Reduce Latency. And for our JupSOL stakers, you’ll get 100% priority fees meaning the highest yields on Solana. Just use Jupiter.

In April, Connor and @RSSH273 (Cooley LLP) called, "Want to talk to the SEC about a no-action relief?" Voluntarily?! Yeah, things have changed. Let's. @Austin_Federa, @theshah39, and the gang were on board and helped translate the whitepaper to something lawyers and regulators understand. It led to a landmark NAL. A blueprint for token design where the value derives from participants' own efforts. Today, the DoubleZero network has 67 fiber-optic cable links contributed by independent network contributors who earn 2Z tokens when, and only when, their links outperform the public internet.

I've joined @DoubleZero as Stake Pool Manager. DoubleZero is tackling one of the hardest problems at the heart of the internet and of high-performance blockchains: global, base-layer connectivity. Right now, validators struggle with unpredictable latency, high jitter, and shared bandwidth while competing with every other application on the web. DoubleZero is reimagining this from the ground up, creating a dedicated highway for blockchain traffic that enables validators to focus on what truly matters: optimizing block production. With 2,200 Gbps of total throughput capacity and 34%+ of the Solana network already running on DoubleZero (increasing by the day), the foundation for Internet Capital Markets is being built here. This is the first step to bring NASDAQ on-chain. As someone who runs a validator from Brazil (@PineStake), I've seen firsthand how hard decentralization can be when you're fighting against poor routing, network limitations, and connectivity gaps. DoubleZero makes it possible to achieve decentralization and keep performance at its peak. If you're curious about connecting to DoubleZero or want to learn more about the DoubleZero Stake Pool, my DMs are always open. Increase Bandwidth Reduce Latency. Accelerate everything.

Thrilled to share that I've stepped into a new role as Head of Communications at @DoubleZero. If I've learned anything during the last few years in HFT / crypto, it's that relentless performance optimization is what separates ideas from results. Since its inception, crypto has been running on infrastructure orders of magnitude slower than traditional markets, and largely unaware of it. We've underestimated the technical sophistication of big tech and TradFi. It's time to close the technical chasm. The problem is fundamental: blockchains are running on infrastructure that was never built for them. No major player in TradFi or big tech runs mission-critical infrastructure over the public internet. They use private networks optimized for their needs. It's not radical thinking either, it's just perf engineering. The reality is this: Web3 will never compete running over Web2 infrastructure. A system is only as fast as its slowest part... and we won't see real performance gains (as an industry) until every bottleneck is fixed. That bottleneck is now the public internet. Custom hardware acceleration and dedicated physical infrastructure have been table stakes in high-frequency trading for over a decade. The networking layer is truly the final boss to realizing blockchain at the speed of NASDAQ. And DoubleZero proposes the solution. What we're building is a private, high-performance WAN for distributed systems and the first alternative to the only internet we've ever known. One month into mainnet-beta, we've onboarded ~34% of Solana mainnet stake: 600 devices across multiple cities and added ~2,200 Gbps of dedicated, ultra-low-latency fiber provided by 12 independent network contributors. This achievement is profound, but it's only the beginning. This is crypto's internet. And you're invited to participate in the build alongside a growing consortium of performance-obsessed nerds. DoubleZero sets out to challenge the impossible. To place DeFi on the same playing field as TradFi and big tech... but do so in a way that maintains performance without sacrificing decentralization. For the first time in history, high-performance, ultra-low-latency connectivity will be accessible to all, and powered by multiple independent contributors. This is the most ambitious, intellectually demanding work I've ever encountered. And the kind of work that pulls you in on a Sunday at 9:00pm (the time of writing this), not because you have to, but because you can't help it. I'm grateful for the opportunity to help tell the story of what high-performance networking means for this industry and beyond, and to work alongside a dedicated team of world-class engineers in the process. Let's (keep) building. IBRL.

The @doublezero network's fees went live in early October, here's a snapshot for the month so far: ~$256,000 of USD equivalent fees. According to @DefiLlama this puts DoubleZero at 16th in 30-day fees-by-network less than a month since launch. These fees go to contributors of the fiber contributors to the DoubleZero network, with a portion of fees burned for sybil resistance. Today these fees only comprise a 5% block reward fee paid by Solana validators. DoubleZero now powers 34% of Solana, up from ~15% in early September. 859 - 82.89 SOL 860 - 102.65 SOL 861 - 73.61 SOL 862 - 144.60 SOL 863 - 85.56 SOL 864 - 102.98 SOL 865 - 102.21 SOL 866 - 95.96 SOL 867 - 125.03 SOL 868 - 111.60 SOL 869 - 94.86 SOL 870 - 114.37 SOL 871 - 158.37 SOL 872 - epoch ongoing Validators can pay in $SOL or $2Z - any SOL collected is swapped to $2Z.

Multicast it - Read nodes getting data from consensus nodes? Multicast it and they get data at the same speed as consensus nodes - Need dependable latency for every rote? DoubleZero provides that. Dedicated fiber made web2 as performant as it is today. We can do the same for crypto, while maintaining decentralization through independent contributors (11 today) and verifiability of packet routing.
