FOGO has that “built for speed” vibe, and it’s not just talk. It uses Wormhole as the native bridge, so it can reach 40+ connected networks without you stitching together a bunch of workarounds.
For Solana devs, the pull is pretty simple.
You get 40ms blocks and around 1.3s finality, which is the kind of timing trading apps actually feel.
It stays SVM-compatible, so Solana programs can port over with minimal headaches.
Under the hood it runs a Firedancer-based client, and validators are colocated in Asia, helping keep latency tight.
Plus, gas-free Sessions can make onboarding and clicks feel smoother (nice little win).
Why skip it for now: smaller ecosystem, messy ops (RPCs, monitoring, bridges), and most liquidity still sits on Solana.
My take, it screams orderbooks, perps, real-time auctions.
