The engineers of most Layer 1 networks didn't make these
mistakes. They are relatively slow since the original design kind of assumes the size of the world and its complexity. Data doesn’t teleport; it makes its way down fibre at a measly 200K kilometers per second, and that matters, especially when validators are everywhere. There should be no decision-making before messages cross oceans.
@Fogo Official means business. Arnot asks: Instead of just squeezing the juice out the software may be: How fast can computers actually talk to each other? Multi-local consensus comes in at that point. Validators are located close by which allows messages to bounce back and forth within milliseconds. When things get busy, you always end up with faster blocks and steady finality.
Certainly a compromise exists. A validator group that sits closer together can come to agreement faster and more reliably than one that is worldwide and always waiting on someone on the other side of the globe. Decentralization is not just about distance between people. It’s about establishing a system that remains operational under high volume.
Fogo operates with the Solana Virtual Machine so developers can still use all their normal tools, but without any congestion from other networks. It has its own identity forming from how the world works.
Fogo does not ignore Physics; they acknowledge it as a problem. It builds smarter because it accepts the limits under which it operates. This is the reason $FOGO can keep moving.
