On-chain derivatives volume keeps rising in 2026, but most chains still treat trading like just another app competing for space.
Fogo doesn’t.
It’s positioning itself as infrastructure specifically aligned with trading intensity. Not generic DeFi. Not ecosystem sprawl. Market-native design.
That matters as capital becomes more latency-sensitive. When perps and high-frequency strategies move on-chain, execution consistency becomes more important than feature count.
Fogo’s architecture leans into that reality. SVM compatibility lowers builder friction, but the real signal is structural focus — designing an environment where trading isn’t a side effect of blockspace.
If on-chain derivatives continue scaling this cycle, the chains built around that use case — not just hosting it — will stand out.
Fogo is clearly aiming to be in that category.
