SLV, the open-source Solana development tool built by ERPC and Validators DAO, now officially supports DoubleZero across deployment, daily operation, and migration. Whether through natural-language conversation with an AI agent or direct CLI, operators can handle everything from the initial DoubleZero client setup to reconnecting after a no-downtime migration — all within the same workflow. DoubleZero is a dedicated fiber network built specifically for blockchain validator traffic, and connecting to it directly lifts the metrics that matter most for Solana validators: vote success rate, vote latency, and skip rate. Until now, adopting it meant installing a separate client alongside Agave or Firedancer and learning a second CLI, with error-prone chores piling up on top — running two processes in parallel, watching fee balances, topping up funds, restarting after incidents. SLV now launches the DoubleZero client as a parallel process next to Agave / Firedancer, generating the configuration file, monitoring the process, and restarting it automatically on failure. Balance thresholds, top-up amounts, and payment currency (SOL by default) remain fully under the user's control, and the AI agent keeps this entire set of tasks in hand as part of the normal operational loop. For operators already using SLV's no-downtime migration, the new support removes another layer of manual work: after switching identity on the new node, the AI agent can be asked to restart the DoubleZero client and confirm the reconnection, folding DoubleZero handling directly into the migration flow. No-downtime migration is one of the most direct ways to reduce total downtime across the Solana chain, yet it has long demanded advanced configuration and deep know-how. By making it a tool anyone can adopt as a matter of course, SLV contributes to the overall maintenance quality of the Solana network. The Epics DAO validator — the source of ERPC's SWQoS endpoint and Epic Shreds — has reached world rank #3 (score 99.93) in the Shinobi Performance Pool through the cumulative effect of many such improvements including DoubleZero adoption, with vote-related scores above 99%. SHA256 optimization patches are scheduled for integration this month, and support for various Vote Mods, Solana custom clients, and other extensions will follow from next month through summer. Now that AI-agent operation is a practical reality, a single smartphone with an ssh client is enough to connect to a node and walk through validator setup, day-to-day operation, and DoubleZero adoption. As a release campaign, SLV AI tokens are being distributed free of charge — 100,000 tokens with a €5 authorization — which is enough to experience DoubleZero support through AI agent conversations. ELSOUL LABO has been approved under the Dutch government's WBSO R&D program for five consecutive years since 2022, and as the culmination of that work, its Solana-dedicated data center under its own ASN (AS200261), granted by RIPE NCC, is opening this month.
