When DEX liquidity is split across ten pools, everyone pays for it. Trades get routed weird, price impact jumps, and even “deep” markets can feel thin at the worst moment (yeah, usually on a fast move).
I’ve felt this on normal-sized swaps too, not even whale stuff, it just adds friction.
Unified liquidity fixes the messy part. More orders meet in one place, spreads get tighter, and big swaps do not need a long chain of hops just to find size. LPs also get better use of their capital, instead of chasing volume across copies of the same pool (it’s exhausting to watch).
That’s why Fogo fits this story.
It is an SVM Layer 1 built for trading speed, with sub-40ms blocks and around 1.3s finality. Less waiting, fewer stale quotes. Pair that with fair execution goals, and liquidity has a real reason to concentrate.
