*We provide a Korean translation of DoubleZero's whitepaper to widely share its vision and philosophy in supporting the acceleration of distributed systems, with the clarification that this is not an official publication of the DoubleZero Foundation.

Key Takeaways

• The DoubleZero Protocol integrates permissionlessly contributed fiber links to build a scalable, high-performance global network to support the maximum performance of all distributed systems.

• DoubleZero’s architecture separates the filtering and execution layers, allowing validators to conserve resources by verifying only filtered inbound data through FPGA devices without directly managing data flow.

• DoubleZero is particularly suited for blockchains that demand both openness and high performance, with broad applications across Layer 2 solutions, RPC nodes, MEV systems, content delivery, online gaming, and AI training.

• More than just a technical enhancement, DoubleZero introduces a new communications economy by enabling revenue generation from idle network links and offering the benefits of private network utilization without centralized systems or long-term contracts.

Translator’s Comment

The rate of internet data generation is growing exponentially. While the amount of data produced globally each day continues to increase at an exponential pace, hardware processing capabilities, which once doubled periodically according to Moore’s Law, have recently begun to plateau.

This growing gap between data generation and processing power presents a significant challenge for various communication systems that must filter and process large volumes of data in an increasingly content-driven world.

The DoubleZero Network recognizes the need for a sustainable and scalable abstract data layer to ensure optimal performance for communication systems and has designed it with remarkable efficiency and foresight.

By introducing an incentive mechanism, DoubleZero enables the contribution of idle fiber links worldwide, integrating them into a single global network that maximizes link utilization and efficiently balances the supply and demand for computing resources.

The DoubleZero Network goes beyond simply realizing the technical slogan of “Increase Bandwidth Reduce Latency” to making a meaningful impact by “Enhancing Social Capital and Minimizing Resource Inefficiency”.
