About DoubleZero

DoubleZero is a decentralised network layer that routes validated traffic over contributor-provided private links to reduce latency and jitter for distributed systems. Access is tied to on-chain identities, with initial integrations aimed at Solana validators, RPC nodes and MEV/searcher infrastructure. The network supports IBRL (fast path with public-internet fallback) and multicast, and records link performance on a dedicated ledger to inform routing and economics. 2Z is the Solana-based token that coordinates value across this network. It is used for payments for connectivity, rewards to bandwidth/device and computational resource contributors based on measured incremental network value, and staking to support operations and performance guarantees. 2Z launches with a 10 billion genesis supply and employs limited inflation and burns to adjust supply over time.

DoubleZero is a decentralised network layer that moves data for distributed systems over contributor-provided private links to reduce latency and jitter versus the public internet. The network uses a two-ring model: an outer ring that performs non-discretionary edge filtration (e.g., deduplication and spam removal) at contributor hardware, and an inner ring that carries validated traffic across an optimised mesh of contributor links. Contributors interconnect at DoubleZero Exchanges (DZX) in major metropolitan areas, enabling a contiguous mesh. Admission for users is tied to on-chain identities (initially Solana), and the client supports IBRL mode (route over DoubleZero when available with public-internet fallback) and multicast for publisher/subscriber workflows. Link and performance telemetry is recorded on a dedicated ledger to coordinate routing and economic flows. Initial users include validator clients as well as RPC and MEV/searcher infrastructure.

2Z is an SPL token on Solana that coordinates value across the network:

  • Payments: Users pay for connectivity and transport services in 2Z.
  • Rewards: Network contributors (bandwidth and device operators, plus computational resource contributors) earn 2Z based on measured incremental network value rather than raw traffic volume.
  • Staking: Participants stake 2Z to support operations and provide performance and behaviour guarantees.

Supply: 2Z launches with a genesis supply of 10 billion tokens. Supply adjusts over time through limited inflation to fund compute and security and burns to preserve economic integrity and deter inorganic traffic. Over the long term, cumulative inflation is intended to be bounded by cumulative burns. Related asset: dzSOL is a liquid staking receipt representing the right to redeem deposited SOL plus validator rewards; it adds no further functionality.
