The trap most chains fall into is that the tools they use to grow airdrops, points, liquidity mining attract people who leave the moment the rewards dry up. You get volume that looks like traction but is actually just mercenary capital doing what mercenary capital does. Fogo sidesteps this by making performance the primary reason to show up. If you're building something that genuinely needs low latency and high throughput, you're not there for the incentives, you're there because the infrastructure actually fits your problem. That's a much stickier foundation.

The growth still happens, it just comes through a different door. Developers who need real execution performance find Fogo because nothing else is giving them what they need, and the applications they build become the draw for the next wave of builders. It's slower to start but it compounds in a way that points programs don't, because what's accumulating is actual utility rather than the appearance of it.

The SVM compatibility helps here too, because it lowers the cost of trying without requiring a big commitment. A builder can port something over without betting their entire roadmap on it, which means the ecosystem fills in organically rather than through coordinated incentive campaigns that need constant feeding. Growth that arrives without being bribed tends to stay without being bribed, and that's the version of growth that actually means something at the infrastructure layer. #fogo @Fogo Official $FOGO
