Maybe you’ve felt it. You click into a breakout, the chart looks clean, momentum is there—and your fill comes back slightly worse than expected. Not dramatic. Just enough to sting. That’s the latency tax.

On most chains, block times sit in the hundreds of milliseconds. Sounds fast. It isn’t. In 400 milliseconds, bots can see your transaction in the mempool, position ahead of you, and sell back into your order. Nothing “breaks.” You just pay a quiet cost. Multiply that across thousands of trades and it becomes structural.

Fogo is built around shrinking that window. Faster block times—measured in tens of milliseconds instead of hundreds—don’t just make charts update quicker. They compress the opportunity for front-running. Less time between intent and execution means less room for extraction.

Underneath that is the real shift: controlling how information flows between validators. If transaction ordering becomes tighter and more predictable, the edge moves from “who saw it first” to “who priced it better.” That’s healthier market structure.

Of course, speed alone doesn’t guarantee fairness. But if latency drops enough, market makers can quote tighter spreads. Tighter spreads mean deeper books. Deeper books mean less slippage.

Control the clock, and you start controlling the edge. @Fogo Official $FOGO #fogo
