According to Austin Federera, co-founder and CEO of Double Nzero, a project, the high-speed glass fiber communication rails for blockchains, the general public web infrastructure is the critical speed and limitation of power for high-throughput blockchain networks.
“The drawback of the general public Internet is that it was never created for top -performance systems. It was at all times created for any such relationship of a giant server who spoke with a small server,” Federa said in an interview at Consensus 2025.
“We have validators all around the world. The constant rotating management time plans. And then they switch from massive data consumers to extremely massive data circular.
The executive added that the restriction arrange by public web infrastructure is now the restrictive factor for blockchain performance and doesn’t calculate any electricity or software development.

Networks equivalent to Doublezero make blockchains faster, reduce the spreads in decentralized finance transactions (defi), lower transaction fees and open latest applications for blockchain networks that weren’t previously available because of restrictions on the communication infrastructure.

Austin Federera left the Solana Foundation to determine the Doublezero protocol in December 2024. The aim of the project is to scale back the latency, the time that needs data to travel to a network and the bandwidth – the utmost data traffic that a network can process at the identical time.
In April 2025, Doublezero carried out a Validator -token sales to sell token purchase contracts to interested knot operators with a view to develop into validators for the network.
The token sale was only available for accredited investors and already lively validators in blockchain networks with high throughput, including Solana, Celestia, SUI, aptos and avalanches.
After a successful capital increase of 28 million US dollars, the Doublezero team desires to launch its public Minnes within the second half of 2025.
Federera announced CoinTelegraph that the increasingly high throughput of blockchain networks and the final development of the industry have required the establishment of a committed communication infrastructure with powerful communication with a view to satisfy demand from increasingly demanding projects.
