#fogo $FOGO Fogo is a Layer 1 that runs Solana programs by staying compatible with the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM)—so the same style of “program + accounts” execution model can carry over without inventing a new runtime. The team’s docs say the client is based on Firedancer, aiming for very low-latency execution while keeping SVM compatibility front-and-center.

What’s changed recently: Fogo’s public mainnet went live on January 15, 2026, following a $7M Binance token sale, according to The Block’s reporting. Before that, it rolled out a public testnet in July 2025, marking the point where outsiders could actually try the network rather than read about it.

If you’re already building on Solana tooling, the practical question isn’t “is it fast,” but how predictable the latency feels under load—that’s the bar Fogo seems to be setting for itself.
