Introducing DoubleZero Edge. DoubleZero Edge is a new platform delivering real-time market data to traders and market participants, powered by multicast. Its first feed: raw Solana shreds directly from leaders, delivered over a high-performance fiber network. Infrastructure that levels the playing field for validators and matches traditional trading systems... is here. Dive in ↓show more

2/ First: Zero fees. The 5% block reward fee is gone for every existing and new DoubleZero-connected validator, effective as of Epoch 939. Now carrying ~46% of Solana’s network stake, DoubleZero is maturing from a bootstrap protocol into an economic engine for Solana. Validators are not paying fees anymore. You’re getting paid, through the protocol. Read on…

3/ A new revenue stream for validators is on the way. DoubleZero Edge rewards participating validators for their shreds, meaning the shred data you already produce becomes added revenue. Learn more:

4/ The technology on DoubleZero Edge: multicast Multicast is how financial exchanges have distributed market data for a decade. One transmission, every subscriber in a region receives it at roughly the same moment, with orders of magnitude less bandwidth required by the sender, and the network. Multicast is now available on blockchain for the first time via DoubleZero. Connecting to multicast now qualifies you to receive shred revenue from day one when Edge launches with subscribers… (s00n). Connect. Publish. Earn:

5/ The flywheel begins: Traders pay for fast data. Revenue flows to validators who publish. More validators connect. More shreds get published. Data gets faster. Better markets for everyone on Solana. A rare win/win situation for virtually everyone involved. Every participant in the ecosystem benefits from increased economic activity. Solana becomes an even more powerful venue for trading. And validators are the reason why.

6/ Solana teams are already adopting DoubleZero Edge. Since beta launch on Feb 26, the Solana shreds feed has added 100+ publishers to the network. @jito and @Harmonic_gg are in the process of integrating DoubleZero Edge into their clients, making it automatic for validators to publish shreds. In addition, several other teams across the @Solana ecosystem are participating in the initial rollout, including @Helius and @Triton_one. Client software teams earn too. If your client powers shred distribution, you get a cut. Build the infrastructure, share in the upside.

7/ Every block producing validator can benefit. Until now, the shred economy was only accessible to large validators with high stake weight in favorable Turbine positions. DoubleZero Edge replaces that. Every validator who publishes their leader shreds earns, with traders able to access shreds faster than ever before. Validator's guide to DoubleZero Edge:

8/ Phase II of the DoubleZero Delegation Program (DZDP) is live! Millions of SOL in stake delegations are moving, starting tomorrow, focused on geo-expansion into Ring 2 and Ring 3 regions. Multicast connectivity is required to qualify for Phase II bonus delegation. → Explore the DZDP: Delegation criteria and amounts may change at any time without notice.

9/ One action unlocks everything: multicast connectivity. Zero fees, Phase II bonus delegation, and shred revenue from day one when Edge launches with subscribers. One CLI command, one config flag, one restart. Validators: You weren't making money on your shreds before. Now you can. →

10/ DoubleZero Edge is the real-time market data infrastructure that crypto never had. Expect performance details, pricing, and full product specs to drop at launch. If you’re a trader interested in learning more about DoubleZero Edge, fill out the interest form here: Explore DoubleZero Edge:

We love to see it. Congrats on the launch, team!

means a lot coming from you all 🤝

yuge.

on the edge of my seat

WOW.

ZERO FEES + NEW REV = DOUBLE WIN

We are edging

You're not wrong.

So traders can buy early access to pre-block data? So this is a paid data feed for extraction, funded by regular users?

Democratizing shred access for smaller validators is a big deal. The latency advantage gap between high-stake and low-stake operators was one of Solana's quiet centralizing forces.

Stronger together.

0️⃣0️⃣cooking again

Pr0bably s0mething

this is a an amazing news and updates not only for validators, but for whole ecosystem!

DoubleWin for all.

real-time market data powered by multicast is a serious infra play.

seriously trade.

And to think, I used to give these shreds away for free

the free sample era is over 🫡

The future of finance is being built in front of our eyes

wow

Huge for the ecosystem 🙌

This is exactly what the Solana ecosystem needs to close the gap with traditional finance. High-performance infrastructure like this is a massive win for decentralization and market efficiency.

so glad you understand the infra.

DoubleZero is turning Solana’s block propagation into a market data business. Validators become data publishers, traders pay for speed. Really smart 👌

@solana Doublezero is strong

@solana 00🦾🦾

Interesting seeing traditional trading tech concepts entering crypto infrastructure👏

huge

not smol

congrats on the release, super cool how everyone is building cool new tech

sooooo f00king fast!!!

so more profit?

It's great news!
