@doublezero is both the next logical step and the most ambitious idea in the mission of scaling blockchains… and so I am excited to announce that I have joined the project, as Chief Economist at the Foundation!.

RT @doublezero: A few months into @doublezero’s testnet. Let’s take a peek under the hood ↓.

Multicast is to communication what parallelization is to computation: a game-changer in scalability.

When Solana ships the multiple concurrent leader model, decentralization will no longer need to be subsidized. Distance will become a validator's strategic advantage instead.

DoubleZero is the purest expression of the north star of IBRL. We are the true IBRL deists.

NVIDIA does not need to worry about which of ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Gemini, or Grok will win. Similarly, as long as the world needs a high-performance blockchain, that blockchain will in turn need a system like DoubleZero.

DoubleZero lets you be agnostic to the L1 war. Any successful and performant L1 will ultimately need to communicate over optimized network infrastructure to serve the next billion; and DoubleZero is the best and only option to empower them.

This can be exciting but also exhausting. How does a protocol builder pick the right architecture? How does an investor give her LPs the right exposure? How does a user pick the right community?.

Each week, it seems like a new L1 is announced — each with a compelling narrative, a deep technical bench, and an impressive list of backers. But blockchains live and die by network effects, so only one or two will survive and thrive in the long run.

At DoubleZero, we are IBRL deists: believers in the inevitability of high-performance blockchains, without needing to tie our fortunes to the religion of any specific one.

RT @doublezero: You shouldn't have to deal with inconsistent internet infrastructure for communication. Consistency allows for higher perf….

The real tragedy of Lion King was that Scar was a poor administrator.

Why should protocol designers constrain themselves to PoS and PoW? DoubleZero wants to reward contributions across space and time in ways that the existing systems aren’t set up to do. So DoubleZero is a new design that @Austin_Federa and I call "Proof of Utility.".

It is wild how differently society rewards you for peaking in high school versus peaking in college.

RT @brianlong: If you've been FOMO-ing over all the IBRL-ing, @ValidatorsApp has a @doublezero live tracker showing which validators are co….

Blockspace supply and demand curves are counterintuitive. Supply doesn’t shift left when validators exit, i.e. prices don’t rise when validators are unprofitable (although remaining validators make more with more leader slots). Only protocol parameters shift the supply curve.
