RockawayX is proud to announce the launch of a DoubleZero, co-branded validator on Solana, with operations based in our hometown of Prague, as part of their newly unveiled 3 million SOL Delegation Program.
The program is designed to expand access to high-performance infrastructure by delegating stake to operators in underrepresented geographies. By extending DoubleZero’s low-latency fiber network to new regions, the program ensures that validator performance is no longer limited by location, helping decentralize the network and improve global resiliency.
Solana already runs one of the fastest validator networks in the world. But to unlock truly global performance, the ecosystem needs more than strong individual validators—it needs the right physical infrastructure in the right locations. DoubleZero’s Delegation Program directly addresses this by empowering high-quality operators in underrepresented regions with the infrastructure and support they need to compete on a level playing field.
By delegating stake to validators located on the edges of the network—away from existing high-density clusters—DoubleZero is bringing low-latency fiber infrastructure to regions that previously lacked the performance needed to be competitive. It’s a well-constructed initiative to improve both decentralization and performance accessibility in the Solana ecosystem.
Our co-branded validator was constructed for this mission. Its primary details are:
It operates with 0% inflation and Jito commission, routes traffic through the DoubleZero fiber network, and is powered by top-tier infrastructure, including Firedancer and Jito clients. Stakers can support the network’s decentralization and enjoy high-performance staking by staking directly to our validator here.
This landmark collaboration reflects our shared commitment to building the new internet through physical infrastructure that improves validator performance, expands global coverage, and removes geographic limitations.
This launch continues the collaboration we’ve already established with the DoubleZero team. Earlier this year, RockawayX became the first European contributor to their network. Together, we brought Prague online by connecting it to Frankfurt through a dedicated 100G fiber line. We deployed two validator-facing endpoints, monitored live routing behavior under real-world conditions, and worked closely on performance benchmarks and network configuration.
As the DoubleZero network expands, so too does the potential for a more performant and globally distributed Solana. We're proud to contribute to that vision.
