Original: “DoubleZero CEO: Public Internet is the Bottleneck for Blockchain”
According to Austin Federa, co-founder and CEO of DoubleZero, public internet infrastructure is a key limiting factor for high-throughput blockchain networks in terms of speed and performance. DoubleZero is dedicated to developing high-speed fiber communication tracks for blockchain.
In an interview with Cointelegraph at the 2025 Consensus conference, Federa stated, “The downside of the public internet is that it was never designed for high-performance systems. It has always been built for a relationship between large servers and small servers.” The executive explained:
He added that the limitations of public internet infrastructure are now the decisive factors for blockchain performance, rather than computing power or software development.
Networks like DoubleZero will make blockchains faster, reduce spreads in decentralized finance (DeFi) transactions, lower transaction costs, and open up new use cases for blockchain networks that were previously unattainable due to communication infrastructure limitations.
DoubleZero was co-founded by Austin Federa in 2024. Austin left the Solana Foundation in December 2024 to establish the DoubleZero protocol. The project aims to reduce the time (i.e., latency) required for data transmission in the network and to increase bandwidth—the maximum data flow that the network can handle at one time.
In April 2025, DoubleZero conducted a validator token sale, selling tokens to node operators interested in becoming network validators.
This token sale was open only to accredited investors and validators who were already active on high-throughput blockchain networks such as Solana, Celestia, Sui, Aptos, and Avalanche.
The DoubleZero team plans to launch its public mainnet in the second half of 2025, having successfully raised $28 million in funding.
Federa told Cointelegraph that the growing high throughput of blockchain networks and the overall development of the industry urgently require the construction of dedicated high-performance communication infrastructure to meet the increasingly complex project demands.
