[DoubleZero to Launch Phase Two Delegation Program on March 9 to Optimize Global Distribution of Solana Validators] According to CoinDesk, DoubleZero, a crypto infrastructure startup co-founded by former Solana Foundation executive Austin Federa, will launch the second phase of its delegation program on March 9. The program will redistribute 2.4 million SOL from its 13 million SOL pool, rewarding validators operating in underrepresented regions such as São Paulo, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Tokyo. Each region will receive up to 600,000 SOL in additional delegation staking incentives, aiming to reduce the increasingly concentrated geographic distribution of Solana validators in Europe and introduce the "multicast" data transmission feature widely used in traditional finance. Federa stated that one unintended consequence of blockchain acceleration is that validators tend to co-locate deployments, similar to the early days of Wall Street high-frequency trading, where firms raced to place servers closer to the New York Stock Exchange.
