After running arbitrage on Solana, one thing became obvious: DeFi’s biggest weakness isn’t speed it’s execution integrity.
You click expecting 100.
You receive 105.
Retail calls it slippage and moves on. But for anyone who understands market structure, that gap is a serious problem. It’s proof that most on-chain markets still can’t guarantee the thing trading depends on most: predictable fills.
That’s why Fogo stands out.
This isn’t a chain built to win TPS leaderboards. It’s being built with a Wall Street mindset by people who’ve lived inside Citadel/Jump-style systems where milliseconds and stability decide who wins.
40ms blocks matter, but the real advantage is lower jitter, tighter execution, and infrastructure designed for high-frequency DeFi.
And the endgame is bigger: on-chain order books that remove AMM compromises.
If Fogo delivers, wallets won’t feel like “DeFi apps.”
They’ll feel like trading terminals open, transparent, and fast enough to compete with institutions.
