Wall Street trading-tech is coming to crypto as DoubleZero rolls out high-speed data for Solana
The project, called DoubleZero Edge, offers a real-time feed of raw data from the Solana blockchain, giving traders faster access to information that can influence prices.
What to know:
- DoubleZero, a network focused on speeding up blockchain data for traders, has launched a new platform called DoubleZero Edge that delivers faster real-time data from Solana, aiming to bring Wall Street-style infrastructure to crypto markets.
- By using a dedicated fiber network instead of the public internet, the platform reduces delays in data delivery and introduces a new model where Solana validators can earn revenue by supplying market data to subscribers.

Solana, a high-speed blockchain popular with traders, produces large amounts of real-time data as transactions are processed. DoubleZero plugs into that system by working with validators to distribute it more quickly to market players.
Unlike traditional finance, where exchanges rely on specialized networks to deliver data at high speed, crypto markets still largely depend on the public internet: a setup that can introduce delays and inconsistencies. DoubleZero is trying to change that by building a dedicated system designed specifically for onchain data.
According to the company, the new network can shave tens of milliseconds off data delivery times, with bigger gains during periods of heavy network activity. For high-frequency trading firms, even small speed improvements can translate into a competitive edge.
