Summary
DoubleZero is a new type of internet optimized for distributed systems such as blockchain. It is supported by Multicoin, Dragonfly, and other leading venture capital firms and is a global physical fiber network leveraging existing undersea and terrestrial links. Currently, its native token 2Z is being sold to validators—this is the first token sale open to accredited investors in the U.S. since 2019.
About DoubleZero
The bottleneck of blockchain today is not computation, but communication. Network bandwidth and latency constrain the performance of blockchain, the efficiency of validator nodes, and limit scalability. However, the current internet has a fundamental flaw: it was designed to improve resilience, not performance.
DoubleZero is building a brand new internet optimized for distributed systems, aiming to be completely permissionless, capable of filtering spam, and routing traffic with efficiencies unattainable by the public internet. Imagine blockchains, validators, remote procedure calls (RPC), MEV systems, and more components communicating at unprecedented speeds, ushering in a new era of blockchain performance, scalability, and decentralized applications. DoubleZero uses dedicated FPGA hardware and dedicated fiber links to fundamentally change the way data is transmitted between blockchain infrastructure and global validators. This is the foundation missing in modern distributed systems—and as a validator operator, you can be part of it.
DoubleZero is committed to eliminating the restrictions of the public internet on protocol designers and validator operators. Our goal is to accelerate the development of decentralized and distributed systems by a decade, unlocking new use cases for blockchain systems.
DoubleZero is built on the principles of a permissionless network and high-performance infrastructure, with core contributors including Malbec Labs and Jump Crypto, network experts, blockchain infrastructure specialists, and performance optimization engineers, all sharing a common goal of establishing the most efficient network protocols for distributed system communication.
Core Features
DoubleZero is a global physical fiber network that utilizes existing undersea and terrestrial fiber links contributed by numerous network contributors. This physical fiber layer provides an alternative communication path for distributed systems, being more stable and predictable than the public internet.
On high-performance blockchains like Solana, validators may be overwhelmed by a large number of inbound transactions while building blocks, reducing block construction efficiency and rewards. After validators generate a block, they must transmit that block to thousands of other validators to reach consensus before the network can progress—and DoubleZero provides a faster, more efficient foundation for this communication.
DoubleZero allows validators to operate at maximum efficiency without significant infrastructure investment—this is a paradigm shift for blockchain networks, as communication rather than computation has become the real bottleneck.
Technology
DoubleZero has created a brand new internet optimized for distributed systems. Its architecture combines dedicated filtering hardware at the network edge with dedicated fiber connections between validators, forming a high-performance mesh network. The dual-ring architecture separates functions: the outer ring uses FPGA devices to filter spam and validate signatures, while the inner ring provides low-latency paths for consensus traffic. DZX (DoubleZero Exchange Point) serves as a critical interconnection hub, aggregating the contributed fiber links to build a global network, significantly enhancing the bandwidth of global blockchain systems and reducing latency.
DoubleZero utilizes dedicated fiber infrastructure and specialized hardware such as FPGAs to achieve high bandwidth, low-latency communication for blockchain networks without relying on the congested paths of the public internet.
