DoubleZero (2Z) Editor: Eugene Serbin

Lookonchain.com reported that DoubleZero co-founder Austin Federa responded to recent fear, uncertainty, and doubt spread by industry bigwigs in private communications. Federa emphasized that the project remains fully focused on Solana, noting it provides free high-speed connectivity for over 60% of staked assets. Approximately 75% of validators currently use its network, which also offers lower-cost raw shred services.

The firm returns roughly 45% of related revenue to these validators and has more Solana products in the pipeline. In other market news, CZ stated he does not oppose Hyperliquid and welcomes more DEX competition. Bitget CEO formally requested THORChain to deny services to attacker addresses.
