Is speed alone enough to build serious on-chain markets?
Imagine a sports team where every player follows a different playbook.
Some move fast.
Some move slow.
The timing breaks.
The whole team feels unstable.
But when everyone follows the same system, performance becomes smooth and predictable.
Many compare Fogo to Solana, but the deeper story isn’t just raw TPS. Fogo is addressing a structural issue in SVM ecosystems: performance fragmentation caused by multiple client implementations.
By standardizing around the Firedancer client, @Fogo Official aims to deliver more consistent validator performance and tighter execution reliability. That consistency matters for smooth order books, faster liquidations, and institutional-grade DeFi infrastructure.
The target is predictable, low-latency blocks (sub-50ms), not just peak speed screenshots. When timing variance narrows, trading becomes more dependable and systems can model behavior with confidence.
My view: durable market structure comes from discipline and predictability, not short-term benchmarks.
If consistency becomes the priority, could it matter more than pure speed in the long run?
