Other DoubleZero Token Sale for Validators Questions

What is DoubleZero?

DoubleZero is a physical fiber network spanning the globe - using existing subsea and terrestrial fiber links contributed by a diverse set of network contributors. This physical fiber layer provides an alternative pathway for distributed systems to communicate over, one that is far more stable and predictable than the public internet. 


DoubleZero enables validators to operate at maximum efficiency without massive infrastructure investments—a paradigm shift for blockchain networks where communication, not computation, has become the real bottleneck.

Why is the lock-up schedule different for different participants?

Regulatory compliance requirements vary based on the purchaser’s jurisdiction.  

How long will KYC and accredited investor verification take?

  • For non-US natural person KYC, most users will be verified within minutes. If your verification is not approved immediately, please check your email for instructions from no-reply@coinlist.co.
  • For entity KYB and US natural person accredited investor verification, you can expect initial outreach within three days of submission. The verification timeline may take several days, depending on how quickly all required documents are provided, so prompt submission will help expedite the process.

If you are an eligible participant, we recommend completing KYC/KYB and accredited investor verification as soon as possible. 


Why can’t certain residents and citizens participate in the DoubleZero Token Sale for Validators?

Due to regulatory compliance, certain jurisdictions are excluded from the validator sale. In addition, U.S. users must complete accredited investor verification prior to participating. 

Do I need to complete KYC before knowing my allocation?

No. We highly recommend you complete KYC or KYB as soon as possible to avoid any potential delays in completing your purchase. You will not be able to submit a purchase until KYC or KYB are complete (and accredited investor verification for US persons). Don’t wait!

How are allocations being determined?

Allocations will be determined based on the information collected from Validators. Higher-staked validators may get priority. Those who aid in price discovery (by submitting valuations, especially higher ones) may receive larger allocations. Other potential factors include validator performance, validator ability to attract organic stake, and broader support for their respective ecosystems.

How will the DoubleZero Token Sale for Validators work?

Users must fill out their indication of interest and provide the requested information within the form. After completing the form, they will be redirected to verify their validator, complete KYC (or KYB), and accredited investor status if they are a US person. 


Once the indication form is closed on April 10th, the common clearing price of 2Z will be determined based on the information submitted by validators. While the price of 2Z will be the same for all eligible purchasers, quantities offered may vary.
