DeFi Dev Corp. Integrates DoubleZero Into Validator Operations

BOCA RATON, FL, July 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DeFi Development Corp. (NASDAQ:DFDV) (the "Company") the first public company with a treasury strategy built to accumulate and compound Solana ("SOL"), today announced it has integrated DoubleZero into its validator operations. This marks an early step in evaluating advanced observability and monitoring solutions designed to improve validator performance and network resilience.

DoubleZero is a global fiber network for high-performance distributed systems, designed to address the limitations of the public internet for blockchain workloads. DoubleZero offers an alternative, packet-optimized network that improves transaction routing, reduces latency, and increases validator efficiency while maintaining decentralization and cryptoeconomic guarantees by enabling permissionless contributions of underutilized fiber bandwidth.

"We're excited to experiment with tools like DoubleZero that push the Solana infrastructure stack forward," said Parker White, CIO & COO of DeFi Dev Corp. "As a public company committed to both institutional-grade uptime and community-aligned staking, solutions that reduce friction and increase reliability are core to our validator strategy."

Austin Federa, Co-Founder of DoubleZero, added, "The public internet wasn't built for the performance demands of blockchain networks. DoubleZero is designed to fill that gap, providing the kind of dedicated, low-latency infrastructure validators need to operate at scale. Collaborating with DeFi Dev Corp. at this stage is an important step toward proving what's possible when distributed systems have a purpose-built network beneath them."

This integration is part of DeFi Dev Corp.'s ongoing commitment to infrastructure experimentation and innovation in the Solana ecosystem. The company's validator program plays a key role in its broader SOL-denominated treasury strategy, providing both technical support to the network and compounding SOL on behalf of shareholders.
