DoubleZero (2Z)USD

DoubleZero is a blockchain project built as a dedicated communications layer for distributed systems and validators, focused on network speed and reliability rather than general-purpose execution. Austin Federa, Andrew McConnell, and Mateo Ward founded the project, with development beginning in 2025. The network and its native token launched on October 2, 2025. The core design is based on bandwidth reservation and optimized validator messaging, which allows faster consensus and more reliable message propagation for blockchain validators and distributed applications. The native token trades under the ticker 2Z and is used for paying fees, staking within the network's bandwidth reservation model, and participating in governance. The total supply of 2Z is capped at 10 billion tokens, all minted at genesis, with distribution subject to a lockup and unlock schedule. DoubleZero is aimed at improving the networking infrastructure that blockchain validators and distributed systems depend on.
