Double digits for DoubleZero

Much better looking than the real me

Over 250 validators (representing over 9% of @Solana stake) have joined @DoubleZero's testnet. 🧪 As we prepare for DoubleZero's formal launch, let’s lay out the benefits and fees for validators, across the short-term, medium-term, and long-term. ↓

7.40% of mainnet Solana stake operating on DoubleZero

DoubleZero has launched a 3M SOL stake pool. It’s designed to expand DoubleZero’s high-performance fiber network, support early testnet users, accelerate validator performance and unlock geographic decentralization across the @Solana ecosystem long-term. Let’s break down what this really means for Solana: ↓

A few months into @doublezero’s testnet. Let’s take a peek under the hood ↓

Multicast is to communication what parallelization is to computation: a game-changer in scalability.

When Solana ships the multiple concurrent leader model, decentralization will no longer need to be subsidized. Distance will become a validator's strategic advantage instead.

The real tragedy of Lion King was that Scar was a poor administrator

Now that validators in the 2Z sale have registered interest, what does the data look like? Let’s start with participation statistics: we had extensive @Solana participation, and solid participation from the other ecosystems too.
