DoubleZero Staked SOL

DoubleZero Staked SOL receives a B- risk grade (33/100) from Hindenrank, where lower scores indicate lower risk. Moderate risk — innovative infrastructure approach to liquid staking but limited track record and infrastructure dependency create uncertainty relative to established Solana LSTs DoubleZero Staked SOL (dzSOL) is a liquid staking token on Solana that differentiates through infrastructure: validators operate on a dedicated high-speed fiber network, enabling better block production and MEV capture for slightly higher yields than competing LSTs. With $1.1B in TVL and 12,200+ holders since its January 2025 launch, dzSOL earns a B- risk grade. The main risks are the protocol's young age (approximately 1 year), its infrastructure dependency on the DoubleZero network, and the standard liquid staking risks of unstaking delays during market stress.

The key risks identified for DoubleZero Staked SOL are: (1) dzSOL launched in January 2025 and has not been tested through a bear market or major stress event. Despite rapid growth, the protocol's smart contracts and validator strategies are relatively untested compared to established alternatives like JitoSOL or mSOL. (2) Your yield premium depends on the DoubleZero fiber network performing well. If the network has outages or competitors match its speed advantage, dzSOL's yield drops to match or fall below competing LSTs, potentially triggering outflows. (3) Unstaking SOL takes 2-3 days due to Solana's epoch system. During a market crash, you cannot quickly convert dzSOL to SOL, and may face a market discount if you need to sell immediately.

DoubleZero Staked SOL scores 33/100 across eight risk dimensions: Mechanism Novelty: 3/15, Interaction Severity: 6/20, Oracle Surface: 2/10, Documentation Gaps: 3/10, Track Record: 3/15, Scale Exposure: 7/10, Regulatory Risk: 3/10, Vitality Risk: 6/10. The highest risk area is Scale Exposure at 7/10.

Among 83 rated Liquid Staking protocols on Hindenrank, DoubleZero Staked SOL ranks #51 by safety (lowest risk score = safest). Its 33/100 risk score and B- grade place it in the middle tier of Liquid Staking protocols.

DoubleZero Staked SOL scores 3/15 on the Track Record risk dimension, indicating some history of security incidents or exploits. Higher scores reflect more severe or frequent incidents. Review the full risk report for details.
