The DoubleZero Foundation has announced the launch of DoubleZero Edge, a high-speed data platform specifically designed for the Solana blockchain. Officially launched on April 16, 2026, this platform aims to deliver a real-time feed of raw Solana data with significantly reduced latency, achieving data delivery in just tens of milliseconds. This enhancement is expected to improve data access and reliability during periods of heavy network activity, benefiting users by minimizing the time gap in data processing.
DoubleZero Edge distributes raw data from the Solana blockchain over a private fiber network and uses multicast technology to send that data to subscribers. The platform offers a real-time feed of raw Solana data. DoubleZero uses the private fiber and multicast configuration to distribute large amounts of real-time on-chain data.
DoubleZero Edge aims to shave tens of milliseconds off data delivery times, with larger gains during periods of heavy network activity. Reductions in latency are intended to support faster and more reliable transmission of Solana’s real-time data. The platform’s design focuses on lowering delivery times to improve access to raw blockchain feeds.
The combination of private fiber and multicast is presented as a technical route to steadier performance under load. DoubleZero frames this infrastructure as a means to reduce uncertainty in how quickly market data reaches participants. The stated performance goal is delivery latency in the range of tens of milliseconds.
DoubleZero Edge creates a commercial interface for Solana’s real-time data by enabling validators to supply raw blockchain data to the platform in exchange for additional revenue. Traders and other market participants subscribe to the platform’s feeds and pay subscription fees denominated in USDC to access the data. The platform distributes a real-time feed of raw Solana data as part of this paid service.
DoubleZero describes the system as a way to reduce uncertainty in how quickly market data reaches participants, which the company presents as an economic consideration for trading firms. Andrew McConnell, a co-founder of DoubleZero, said, “Traditional finance has spent decades building infrastructure where speed and deterministic performance are a real competitive advantage.” He also said, “Deterministic infrastructure removes a risk market makers have to price in, which leads to tighter spreads and better execution.”
The economic model combines payments from subscribing traders with payments to validators supplying data, creating a revenue flow in both directions. The platform’s stated market impact centers on reducing delivery-speed uncertainty for participants and on the potential for that reduction to correlate with tighter spreads and improved execution, as reflected in DoubleZero’s quoted statements. The structure ties compensation for data providers to paid access for consumers of the feed.
DoubleZero Edge is a new data platform developed by the DoubleZero Foundation for the high-speed Solana blockchain and provides a real-time feed of raw on-chain data. The platform is intended to improve the speed and reliability of on-chain market data delivery by reducing delivery-time uncertainty, which DoubleZero says could help level the playing field for market participants and potentially lead to tighter spreads and improved trade execution across the crypto trading ecosystem.
