DoubleZero Edge brings multicast market data delivery to Solana, the same standard that has powered traditional exchanges for decades.
Solana's Turbine protocol was built to propagate block data reliably across a decentralized validator set. Shreds travel through a tree-based relay, hop by hop, with tree position influenced by stake weight. Larger validators get an earlier view of upcoming blocks.
Edge replaces the relay tree with multicast. Validators publish shreds once, and the network replicates the data across subscribers in a single hop from the leader. Delivery is independent of stake weight and queue position is equal across all subscribers.
@doublezero reports a 6ms average improvement in shred delivery and a 28ms improvement at the p95, with the gap widening further under congestion.
Currently, 396 validators are publishing shreds to Edge, representing 43.39% of total Solana stake.
Revenue flows back to the stack that produced the data. Network contributors take the largest share for supplying the fiber backbone, validators publishing shreds earn a proportional cut based on leader slots, and protocol client teams receive a smaller portion.
The bet is that deterministic infrastructure tightens spreads and improves execution, which is what institutional market makers have been waiting to see onchain. Seat utilization, publisher growth, and whether the latency advantages hold as subscriber counts scale are worth tracking from here.
