DoubleZero’s goals are to increase bandwidth and reduce latency for blockchain projects and possibly other networks, such as those used for online gaming.
Solana Foundation Strategy Lead Austin Federa has left the project to co-found a new protocol and network geared toward managing high-performance, permissionless networks.
In a Dec. 4 statement on X, Federa said leaving Solana after four years was one of the “hardest professional decisions I’ve had to make” but says his new role will let him still be involved in the network “from the other side.”
According to Federa, his new project, DoubleZero, isn’t a layer 1 or layer 2 protocol but something else entirely, an N1, new global base layer network optimized for blockchain that hopes to increase bandwidth and reduce latency.
