DoubleZero Launches DoubleZero Edge Real-Time Solana Shreds Feed For Low-Latency Traders

DoubleZero is rolling out DoubleZero Edge, a low-latency onchain data delivery service aimed at traders that delivers a real-time feed of raw Solana blockchain data.

“Wall Street trading-tech is coming to crypto as DoubleZero rolls out high-speed data for Solana The project, called DoubleZero Edge, offers a real-time feed of raw data from the Solana blockchain, giving traders faster access to information that can influence prices”

CoinDesk reported that the project went live on Thursday and that its first offering is “a real-time feed of raw data from the Solana blockchain,” designed to give traders faster access to information that can influence prices.

The service transmits data via multicast over a private fiber-optic network, a method typically used in traditional finance to distribute data simultaneously to multiple participants.

CoinDesk said DoubleZero Edge is intended to bring “Wall Street-style infrastructure to crypto markets,” and it frames the launch as a response to crypto’s reliance on the public internet, which can introduce delays and inconsistencies.

The Block described Edge as “a permissionless platform for delivering ultra-fast onchain market data” that runs on DoubleZero’s global fiber DePIN infrastructure.

In its announcement, The Block said Edge starts by delivering a real-time feed of raw Solana block data called “shreds,” while also being built to support other networks and information sources like centralized exchanges and prediction markets.

DoubleZero Edge’s pitch centers on reducing data delivery time, with CoinDesk saying the system can “shave tens of milliseconds off data delivery times,” and that bigger gains can occur during periods of heavy network activity.

The Block added more specific performance claims, saying DoubleZero’s physical fiber network and incentivized validators reportedly deliver Solana shreds to clients with an average “6 millisecond advantage.”

The Block further claimed that the advantage expands under congestion, stating that Edge has delivered shreds “up to 20 milliseconds faster in Europe, 80 milliseconds faster in the U.S., and over 100 milliseconds faster in Asia.”

CoinDesk described the mechanism as sending data over a private fiber network using multicast, rather than relying on the public internet.

Blockster similarly framed the product as a way to deliver raw Solana blockchain data “directly to traders,” positioning it as an alternative to “standard RPC nodes or third-party indexers” that introduce varying latency and data processing.

Blockster said the goal is to deliver “unfiltered blockchain data as close to the source as possible,” so traders can get faster visibility into transactions, order flow, and state changes that can affect token prices.

DoubleZero Edge also introduces an economic model that ties revenue to data distribution on Solana.

CoinDesk said validators on the Solana network can earn additional revenue by supplying data to the platform, while traders pay to subscribe to the feeds using USDC.

The Block described this as a “validator-aligned subscription model,” and it said the announcement notes that traders pay for the data feeds through that model.

The Block also reported that validators are incentivized to publish to Edge as an additional revenue stream, reinforcing the idea that data delivery is not just a technical layer but a monetized one.

At launch, The Block said Edge boasts “350 data publishers,” and it described the service as permissionless, with participation from major Solana infrastructure providers.

Specifically, The Block said major Solana infrastructure providers Jito, Temporal, Staking Facilities, and Triton have joined as Edge participants.

The rollout is presented as part of a broader push to bring institutional-grade market infrastructure into crypto, with DoubleZero positioning itself as a networking layer for deterministic performance.

CoinDesk quoted Andrew McConnell, a co-founder of DoubleZero, saying, “Traditional finance has spent decades building infrastructure where speed and deterministic performance are a real competitive advantage,” and it added that “On-chain markets didn't get that foundation, which left even sophisticated trading firms working on uneven ground.”

CoinDesk continued with McConnell’s argument that “Deterministic infrastructure removes a risk market makers have to price in, which leads to tighter spreads and better execution.”

The Block identified DoubleZero as being founded by McConnell, Mateo Ward, and Austin Federa, who were “formerly of the Solana Foundation.”

The Block said Federa told it that the idea for DoubleZero was partially inspired by the fact that even modern blockchains like Solana typically send information, like incoming blocks, over the public internet, which introduces “variable latency, jitter, and complexity.”

The Block also reported that in March 2025 DoubleZero Foundation announced it raised $28 million in a token round co-led by Multicoin Capital and Dragonfly Capital.

The sources frame DoubleZero Edge as a step toward “Wall Street-grade” trading technology on Solana, while also raising questions about how tiered access could affect fairness.

Blockster described the product as “a significant step toward bringing Wall Street-style trading technology into crypto markets,” and it said the launch gives participants faster access to information that can influence token prices.

Blockster also argued that speed advantages in crypto are already substantial, stating that “MEV (maximal extractable value) strategies, arbitrage, and liquidation bots all depend on receiving and acting on data faster than other market participants.”

It then said a dedicated, high-speed data feed “formalizes what has until now been a more ad hoc race for latency advantages.”

In Blockster’s market-structure discussion, it said the introduction of premium data feeds into crypto raises “familiar questions about market fairness — the same debates that have played out in traditional finance for years.”

Blockster wrote that critics argue “tiered access to market data creates an uneven playing field,” and it said “the same dynamics could emerge onchain if raw data feeds become a paid advantage.”
