Can Fogo make bot execution less of a latency gamble?
If your edge is milliseconds, ask what the chain standardizes timing or trust.Fogo tries to make “fast” an explicit protocol choice, not a hidden latency tax.Keep SVM compatibility, but tune the client + networking path for lower propagation delay.Fogo Docs says the client is based on Firedancer, stays SVM-compatible, and uses “multi-local” consensus for minimal latency.In v20.0.0 release notes,Fogo mentions moving gossip/repair traffic to XDP and reducing consecutive leader slots tuning aimed at speed and fairness.The blog also frames gas-free sessions and a curated validator set as part of the trading-first stack. Curated validators can raise the performance floor, but it concentrates trust when markets get messy.You port a Solana bot, run it through volatility, then compare fill variance across regions. If results still depend on where you’re hosted, your “strategy” is just geography.Bot teams adopt first; it fails if performance requires too much permissioning to stay credible.
For trading, speed with curation or slower with open validators pick one.
