DoubleZero

DoubleZero generated $54.3M in gross revenue from Jul 2025 to Apr 2026 (261 days), with $3.3M retained as net revenue. $164.2K accrued to 2Z token holders. Its primary token utilities include Network Security, Staking Rewards, Staking Access, Service Payments, and Other.

This averages $$208.0K in daily gross revenue across the tracked period.

2Z accrues value through 2 mechanisms: Direct Token Burn and Direct Revenue Share.

• Direct Token Burn: 50% of validator seat fees collected in 2Z tokens are permanently burned from the token supply through smart contract execution, creating deflationary pressure proportional to network utilization.
• Direct Revenue Share: The remaining 50% of validator seat fees that are not burned are reminted and distributed to network contributors (bandwidth providers) based on Shapley value calculations measuring their incremental contribution to network performance.

Yes, DoubleZero burns or redistributes 2Z tokens via Direct Token Burn. In 2026, approximately $98.4K worth of value was returned to token holders through these mechanisms.

Yearly token holder distributions:

• 2026: $98.4K
• 2025: $65.7K

2Z serves 5 primary functions within the DoubleZero ecosystem: Network Security, Staking Rewards, Staking Access, Service Payments, and Other. The protocol generates fees from user activity, with a portion distributed back to 2Z holders. Value flows back to token holders through Direct Token Burn and Direct Revenue Share. DoubleZero's fee revenue currently exceeds its token emissions, indicating a self-sustaining economic model.

Token utilities:

• Network Security: Validators stake 2Z tokens to participate in the network and allocate bandwidth shares, with a minimum stake threshold required. Contributors also stake 2Z to register their contributed capacity, securing the infrastructure network.
• Staking Rewards: Validators earn inflationary 2Z rewards through an adaptive emission schedule distributed daily, and delegators earn proportional rewards from delegated stake minus operator commissions.
• Staking Access: Validators and infrastructure operators must stake 2Z tokens to gain access to DoubleZero's high-performance bandwidth and reduced-latency communication channels. Contributors must stake to formally register capacity.
• Service Payments: Network users pay 2Z tokens to consume network resources including bandwidth allocation, optimized routing, spam filtration services, and access to DoubleZero exchange points. Validators pay a 5% seat fee of consensus revenue in 2Z.
• Other: Staked 2Z holders vote on proposals including validator admittance, fee rate changes, and development fund allocations via stake-weighted voting. However, the co-founder explicitly stated pure token-weighted governance is not the goal, indicating a hybrid model under development.

Value accrual mechanisms:

• Direct Token Burn: 50% of validator seat fees collected in 2Z tokens are permanently burned from the token supply through smart contract execution, creating deflationary pressure proportional to network utilization.
• Direct Revenue Share: The remaining 50% of validator seat fees that are not burned are reminted and distributed to network contributors (bandwidth providers) based on Shapley value calculations measuring their incremental contribution to network performance.

In 2026, DoubleZero generated $21.4M in gross revenue. Of that, $98.4K was distributed to token holders, $953.1K was retained as protocol revenue (treasury), $20.4M went to supply-side participants (e.g. liquidity providers).

Year-by-year revenue breakdown:

• 2026: $21.4M gross revenue — $98.4K to holders, $953.1K to protocol, $20.4M to supply-side
• 2025: $32.9M gross revenue — $65.7K to holders, $2.2M to protocol, $30.7M to supply-side

DoubleZero's gross revenue has decreased by 37.7% over the past 90 days compared to the prior 90-day period, from $26.8M to $16.7M.
