One of the most frustrating things about trading on-chain over the last few years is dealing with front-running bots. If you have ever tried to execute a large swap on a decentralized exchange and watched your slippage get completely eaten up by a bot that jumped in line right before you, you know exactly what I mean. This issue is called Maximal Extractable Value, and it basically acts as a hidden tax on regular traders.
As I look at the market today on February 18 with FOGO trading at roughly $0.0249 USDT on Binance, I realize their architecture actually solves this problem natively. Most networks try to fix front-running with complex software patches, but Fogo fixes it with raw speed. Because their block times are hitting 40 milliseconds, the actual physical window for a bot to see your pending transaction, calculate a profitable front-run, and submit its own transaction is practically non-existent.
They essentially created an environment where traditional front-running strategies just fail to execute in time. This is a massive deal for retail traders because it finally provides a fair playing field where you aren't constantly getting drained by predatory algorithms. When you combine this natural defense mechanism with the low latency we talked about earlier this week, it becomes very clear why people are starting to migrate their liquidity over.
