Fogo (FOGO) is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain that launched its mainnet on January 15, 2026. It is specifically designed to bridge the gap between centralized exchanges (like Binance) and decentralized finance (DeFi) by prioritizing ultra-fast trading.
🛡️ Core Technology
Fogo is built on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) but introduces several technical upgrades to optimize it for professional-grade trading:
Firedancer Integration: It uses a specialized validator client (Firedancer) to target 40ms block times, making it one of the fastest chains in existence.
Enshrined Order Book: Unlike other chains where trading apps are separate, Fogo builds a limit order book directly into the protocol layer to ensure deep, unified liquidity.
Native Price Feeds: It has built-in oracles, meaning the blockchain knows the prices of assets (like BTC or Gold) without needing to wait for external third-party services.
Fogo Sessions: A feature that allows "gasless" trading where you don't have to sign a popup for every single transaction, making the experience feel like a regular app.#FOGOUSDT
