We know everyone’s been seeing $FOGO everywhere lately, so instead of repeating the same stuff, it’s probably worth talking about why today’s performance actually matters 👇.
The big thing with @Fogo Official is speed, but not the “marketing speed” kind ... the kind that changes how markets behave. Fogo runs at around 40ms block times, while Solana sits closer to 400ms. That gap sounds small on paper, but for market makers it’s night and day. When you’re posting bids and asks, every millisecond you’re exposed matters. On slower chains, prices can move hard before you even get a chance to cancel or update, so makers protect themselves with wider spreads, smaller size, or by paying priority fees just to stay alive.
On #Fogo , that exposure window shrinks fast. Blocks come in quickly enough that market makers can keep their on-chain quotes roughly in sync with centralized exchanges. Binance updates top-of-book in about 10ms and refreshes the full orderbook around every 100ms — 40ms blocks actually fit into that rhythm. That means less stale pricing, less getting picked off, and way tighter spreads without needing Jito-style fee games. Arbitrage just doesn’t have enough room to bully makers here.
And this isn’t theory. Pre-mainnet testing showed around one-second finality across validators, pumping out roughly 25 blocks per second. On testnet, Fogo hit about 46,000 theoretical TPS back in early 2025. Then they stress-tested it with something real ... Fogo Fishing -- and the chain handled nearly 100,000 TPS over 100 blocks, with real-time usage still sitting comfortably in the hundreds. That’s not a demo loop, that’s users clicking, casting, upgrading, actually doing things.
So when people talk about FOGO price action day to day, sure, that’s fine. But under the hood, this is a chain designed to make markets tighter, faster, and cheaper --- and to do it without hacks or band-aids. That kind of performance tends to matter more over time than most people realize… usually after the fact.
