2Z is the native utility token of DoubleZero, a decentralized connectivity and infrastructure project built on the Solana blockchain. DoubleZero focuses on creating a high-performance network layer that enables faster, more reliable communication for blockchain systems like validators, oracles, and trading platforms. Unlike traditional blockchain L1s or L2s, DoubleZero operates as a 'Network Layer 1 (N1)', using real-world infrastructure — including dedicated fiber optics and specialized hardware devices — to deliver ultra-low latency data transmission. The 2Z token is used to pay for bandwidth, reward contributors of physical infrastructure, and will support staking and delegation models in future upgrades. As an SPL token with a total supply of 10 billion, 2Z is designed for real-world utility in a DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) ecosystem and has already achieved regulatory recognition through a no-action letter from the U.S. SEC.
