Sharp analysis.Solana is a mempool lottery, Monad has a 2021 UX bottleneck. Fogo’s 40ms blocks + Session Keys is the end-game for HFT: Sign once, trade all day, zero MEV window. When profit is measured in ms, Fogo is the trading floor; the rest are just crowded malls.

I've run the same arbitrage strategy across three chains this month. Solana, Monad testnet, and Fogo. The results weren't even close.

Solana at 400ms is fast until it isn't. Peak hours mean failed transactions and watching your entry evaporate while you're stuck in the mempool lottery. The speed exists but so does the congestion tax.
Monad's pitch is bringing parallel execution to Ethereum's world. Great for developers who want EVM compatibility. Terrible for traders who are tired of approving every single action like it's 2021. You still get the wallet pop-up spam, just faster.
Fogo went full specialist mode. 40 milliseconds per block, which is ten times faster than Solana. But speed alone isn't the edge—it's Session Keys. Sign once, execute all day. No pop-ups. No friction. I ran 47 swaps in an hour on Valiant without touching my wallet once.
Here's what killed it for me: MEV bots need time between blocks to front-run you. At 400ms, they have a window. At 40ms, that window basically doesn't exist. The price you see is the price you get.
And the Flames system keeps you there. Every swap on Valiant, every deposit in FogoLend, every LP position on Pyron stacks points. Leaving means starting over somewhere else.
Solana's the general-purpose giant. Monad's the Ethereum bridge. Fogo's the trading floor. If you're here to execute, not philosophize about decentralization, the choice is obvious.
