Fogo’s bet is that latency is a geography problem first: “multi-local / zone” consensus tries to keep coordination tight instead of asking the whole planet to agree at once.
They also gate validator performance on purpose (stake + operational approval), because one underbuilt validator can stretch everyone’s timing budget.
And they’re pushing UX friction down into the protocol with Sessions (session keys), so apps can do more than “one click → one signature → one action.”
Public mainnet went live Jan 15, 2026, and the rollout followed an approximately $7M strategic token sale via Binance.
As of Feb 17, 2026, the public explorer is still showing 40ms slot-time averages (1-minute and 1-hour), and their Sessions codebase shows updates dated the same day.
If they can hold those numbers through real activity, the interesting question isn’t “is it fast?” — it’s “which on-chain behaviors only work when the chain keeps its latency promise.”
