DoubleZero runs on a more pure token economic model than most projects, and we've done a bunch of writing about this, but as there's a bunch of new people excited about the project, I thought I'd do a summary.
DoubleZero is a protocol you can build anything on top of, but one of the most popular products developed is DoubleZero Edge.
Edge works this way:
- Fees are paid in stablecoin (or credit cards or ACH) and that swapped into solana:J6pQQ3FAcJQeWPPGppWRb4nM8jU3wLyYbRrLh7feMfvd
- 45% of that 2z is distributed to the fiber network providers that support the infrastructure network. Importantly, there are no passive emissions, so the only payout fiber contributors get is based on fees paid in.
- 45% of that is distributed to the data originators, which in this case are participating Solana validators and Hyperliquid validators. These income streams are segmented by network (So Solana fees go to Solana validators, and Hyperliquid fees go to Hyperliquid validators.)
- 10% of the solana:J6pQQ3FAcJQeWPPGppWRb4nM8jU3wLyYbRrLh7feMfvd is burned to permanently remove it from supply by destroying it.
- The protocol has no inflation.
