DoubleZero will launch the second phase of the commissioning plan to optimize the geographic distribution of Solana validators

DoubleZero, a cryptocurrency infrastructure startup co founded by former Solana Foundation executive Austin Federa, will launch the second phase of its commissioning program on March 9th, reallocating 2.4 million SOLs from its 13 million SOL pool to reward validators operating in underrepresented areas such as Sao Paulo, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Tokyo. Each region will receive an additional commission pledge incentive of up to 600000 SOLs to reduce the geographical concentration of Solana validators in Europe and introduce the "multicast" data transmission function used in traditional finance. Federa pointed out that the acceleration of blockchain technology has led validators to be more inclined towards co location deployment, similar to the phenomenon of high-frequency trading on Wall Street in the early days of placing servers close to the New York Stock Exchange.
