Announcing the DoubleZero protocol and network – a decentralized framework for creating and managing high-performance permissionless networks.
DoubleZero is not a new L1 or L2, it is a new global base layer network – an N1 – optimized for blockchain and distributed systems. 1/5
The protocol enables permissionless contribution of independent fiber links to create a dynamic and expansive low-level high performance global network. This decentralized network infrastructure layer enables systems like Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchains to be freed of communication bottlenecks and approach the maximum performance that physics allows. 2/5
DoubleZero is not just a transport layer – the network provides filtration and verification services, conducted by network devices running open source code, to perform signature verification and deduplification on inbound data. 3/5
In short, the DoubleZero network is a new internet optimized for distributed systems.
DoubleZero is created by Austin Federa, Andrew McConnell, and Mateo Ward, and launches with two core contributor teams, Firedancer and Malbec Labs.
This is the new internet for modern distributed systems.
What DoubleZero does is simple: Increase Bandwidth, Reduce Latency, for all high performant blockchains.
