Every Block Has More Than One Source Of Delay ⏱️

$ADA can optimize how efficiently software processes blockchain activity, but computation is only one part of the time required for thousands of machines to stay synchronized.

Even if $NEAR reduces processing time elsewhere in its architecture, information still has to physically travel between the computers participating in the network.

A transaction first has to reach a machine capable of processing it. Information about the resulting activity then has to spread toward other participants so the wider network can agree on what happened.Every part of that journey takes time, even when the calculations occurring inside individual machines have already become extremely fast.

DoubleZero focuses on the communication portion of this process, building specialized networking infrastructure intended to move information between distributed machines more efficiently.
It is not trying to make a computer’s processor faster.
It is trying to reduce how much time those computers spend waiting for information to reach them.
Blockchains have spent years optimizing how quickly individual machines can perform work.

Distributed systems also depend on how quickly those machines can tell each other what they just did.
