    Edge for Builders

    Andrew McConnell, co-founder of DoubleZero and CTO of Malbec Labs, is joined by Malbec Labs engineers Ben Cairns and Ben Marx to talk about DoubleZero Edge for Builders, which was first introduced at Token 2049. Edge for Builders lets anyone who owns real-time data, such as an exchange or a market data provider, publish it over the DoubleZero network. Builders get a global, low-latency network run by 15 network contributors, plus billing, a feed spec, a way to express and measure an SLA, and access to subscribers who already use DoubleZero Edge feeds. In this episode: Why builders would publish on DoubleZero instead of building their own network or using the cloud What it costs in time and money to build a global, finance-grade network, and how DoubleZero removes that work What permissionless means here: no approval needed, but builders post a bond in 2Z that sets how much traffic they can send How fees work: the protocol burns 10% of subscriber fees and splits the rest between builders and network contributors Why subscribers can connect in minutes with software, instead of waiting days for a physical cross connect How to get started on testnet, with a faucet, step-by-step docs, and a script that has you publishing in about five minutes Edge for Builders is live on testnet now.
