Fogo feels like it was built by people who actually understand trading pressure. It’s not trying to impress anyone with giant TPS claims or flashy marketing. The focus is simple: speed that stays consistent when volume spikes. That matters a lot in real markets.
It uses the Solana Virtual Machine, which makes life easier for developers, but it runs independently so it doesn’t inherit network congestion. The interesting part is how it organizes validators to reduce latency instead of just spreading them everywhere.
Honestly, Fogo sounds less like a general crypto chain and more like infrastructure meant for serious trading environments.
