What to know:
- A new 3 million SOL pool aims to expand access to DoubleZero’s low-latency fiber network for Solana validators, promoting decentralization and performance.
- The protocol leverages private and dark fiber to create a high-speed mesh network, reducing reliance on the public internet for validator communication.
- Founder Austin Federa, formerly Head of Strategy at Solana Labs, envisions a future powered by distributed systems and equitable data access.
DoubleZero, the decentralized protocol built to accelerate blockchain performance, has unveiled a new 3 million SOL stake pool, worth about $537 million in current prices, under the ticker DZSOL.
The initiative is intended to broaden access to its low‑latency fiber backbone specifically for Solana validators, which would in turn enhance network decentralization.

DoubleZero’s architecture stitches together private and dark fiber paths into a high‑performance network mesh, enabling validator‑to‑validator traffic to bypass congested public internet routes.

The protocol charges 5% of validators' consensus‑related revenue for network access, and it has also implemented token burns to mitigate spam and centralization pressure.
“Faster is better, but faster alone is not enough. Faster must include the ability for everyone on the network to have the same access to data as everyone else,” DoubleZero founder Austin Federa said in March. He added, “We see a near future that’s fully underpinned by distributed systems.”
Federa spent nearly four years at Solana Labs and the Solana Foundation as head of strategy and communications, directing ecosystem growth and developer engagement.
