Overview

DoubleZero is the largest liquid staking protocol on Solana by TVL ($1.95B). Users stake SOL and receive 2ZSOL, which automatically accrues staking rewards at approximately 6% APY. DoubleZero differentiates through institutional-grade validator infrastructure using dedicated fiber optic network connections. While DoubleZero leads by TVL, it is newer than Jito (2022) and Marinade (2021), with a shorter production track record and fewer DeFi integrations for 2ZSOL.

DoubleZero Risk Assessment

  • Newer protocol

    medium

    DoubleZero launched in 2023. $1.95B TVL was accumulated rapidly, but the protocol has a shorter track record than Jito (2022) or Marinade (2021)

  • Smart contract

    medium

    Audited, but newer audit history means less time-in-production testing

  • Concentration risk

    medium

    Rapid TVL growth means a significant portion of Solana stake is concentrated in DoubleZero's validator set

  • Fewer DeFi integrations

    low

    2ZSOL has fewer lending/LP integrations than JitoSOL or mSOL, though this is improving
