A network hoping to become a parallel internet for blockchains provides for a public launch of Mainnet in the second half of 2025 after recently completed a round of funding of $ 28 million and a launch of Testnet Beta.
The DoubleZero network hopes to be an alternative to the public Internet which allows network operators to contribute to a bandwidth underused to a dedicated network designed for systems such as blockchains, according to a declaration of March 5 of the Doublezero Foundation.
Austin Federa, co-founder of Doublezero, said in an article from March 5 to X that the project was an attempt to bring private networking technology to blockchains and systems distributed on a network belonging to its operators and that it is open to anyone with fibers to participate.
“The faster, it’s better, but faster alone is not enough. Faster must include the possibility for everyone on the network (physical fiber) to have the same access to data (state) as everyone else. It is equity – it is multidiffusion – it is the future, “he said.

Federa was the advancement of the Solana Foundation strategy until last December when he left after four years to base DoubleZero with cryptographic entrepreneurs Andrew McConnell and Mateo Ward.
The Doublezero Foundation builds the network to become inherited technology fueling the next half-century of distributed systems, according to Federa.
“We have reached a point where the bottleneck for blockchain is in fact on the network transport network and data, not the calculation,” he said.
“The current ambition for the crypto is still too small. We see a nearby future which is entirely supported by distributed systems, and our vision is to provide a new network of fiber infrastructure which can safely feed this on a mass scale. »»
The protocol recently completed a 28 million dollars token circle co-directed by multi-oamine capital venture capital companies and Dragonfly Capital to hire more staff for the deployment of La Mainnet later this year.

In collaboration with the financing cycle, the Foundation also launched a beta version of Testnet for Solana validators and the procedural calls in seven cities: Singapore, Tokyo, Los Angeles, New York, London, Amsterdam and Francfurt, with additional cities coming to Mainnet later in the year.
The current phase of the testnet aims to improve the efficiency and scalability of the network system.
Currently, Jump Crypto, Distributed Global, Rockawayx and Bare Metal Infrastructure supplies Traswitch and Latitude.
