Fogo is a high-performance Layer 1 network that uses the Solana Virtual Machine. I’m looking at it less as a trend and more as infrastructure. The idea behind Fogo is simple: build a fast, reliable base layer where developers can create serious financial applications without sacrificing structure or accountability.
The system is designed to handle high throughput while staying compatible with an ecosystem developers already understand. That matters because they’re not starting from zero. Familiar tools reduce friction and allow teams to focus on building real solutions instead of reinventing technical foundations.
The purpose behind Fogo isn’t loud disruption. It feels more aligned with long-term stability. Financial systems operate under compliance, audit, and oversight requirements. Any base layer that wants to support meaningful capital needs to respect that environment.
I’m interested in projects that think about regulation, data protection, and operational consistency from day one. Fogo appears to move in that direction. They’re building a foundation that aims to balance performance with responsibility, which is what serious infrastructure requires.
