DoubleZero Design Series: Direct Data Routing

DoubleZero Design Series | Ep. 03 — Data Direct Routing ft. Austin Federa

The internet wasn’t built for blockchains — and it shows.

In this episode, Austin Federa explains why routing on the public internet creates a massive performance bottleneck for decentralized systems. Despite being resilient, the public internet is economically optimized to offload traffic, not deliver it quickly or efficiently — making it a poor foundation for high-performance blockchains.

By contrast, the DoubleZero network uses dedicated fiber and intelligent routing to send data on the fastest possible path, not just any available one. The result? Lower latency, higher consistency, and a fair shot at profit-critical moments like arbitrage and MEV.

This episode breaks down:
– Why packets bounce all over the world before arriving
– How ISPs are incentivized to route inefficiently
– Why performance ≠ resiliency
– How DoubleZero intelligently selects the fastest link in a decentralized mesh
– What it means for validators, traders, and real-time consensus

Performance isn't just about speed — it's about choosing the right path.
