#fogo $FOGO

FOGO is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain built using the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) and optimized with the Firedancer validator client. Launched in early 2026, the project is designed specifically for ultra-low latency, institutional-grade decentralized finance (DeFi) and high-frequency trading.

Its primary mission is to eliminate the performance gap between centralized exchanges (like Binance) and decentralized platforms.

Key Technical Pillars

SVM & Firedancer: By using the Firedancer client (developed by Jump Crypto), FOGO aims for sub-40ms block times and high throughput (54,000+ transactions per second).

Enshrined Primitives: Unlike general-purpose chains, FOGO integrates trading tools (like limit order books and price oracles) directly into the protocol level to reduce lag.

Multi-Local Consensus: Validators are often strategically co-located (e.g., in Tokyo) to minimize physical network latency, focusing on speed over maximum geographic distribution.
