The Invisible Tax of Web3: Why My Transition to Fogo Was a Matter of Survival, Not Choice
In recent years, Web3 has been obsessed with complexity. I watched as the industry built layers upon layers: L2, restaking, bridges, data availability layers (DA). We created a maze and called it progress. But as a trader, I started to ask myself the question: what is the real price of this architecture? I needed a week of intense testing of the current systems to understand — I am paying a hidden tax. It’s not just the gas fees. It’s a tax on my time and focus.
The Invisible Tax of Web3: Why My Transition to Fogo Was a Matter of Survival, Not Choice
In recent years, Web3 has been obsessed with complexity. I watched as the industry built layers upon layers: L2, restaking, bridges, data availability layers (DA). We created a maze and called it progress. But as a trader, I started to ask myself the question: what is the real price of this architecture? I needed a week of intense testing of the current systems to understand — I am paying a hidden tax. It’s not just the gas fees. It’s a tax on my time and focus.
I spent years studying how the industry builds a layered cake: bridges, L2, L3, data accessibility layers. We were told that this is the path to scalability. But in practice, for me as a user, it turned into an endless struggle with the interface. I realized that I am paying the most expensive tax - the tax on cognitive load. While others spawn entities, Fogo consolidates. SVM, Firedancer, and native limit orders in one system. It's not just a fast blockchain; it's an attempt to make the technology invisible. A week of work without wallet confirmations changed my perception. When you are not distracted by sign/confirm, your focus returns to strategy. This is the moment when blockchain ceases to be an obstacle. Sessions are a step towards convenience, but they also shift risks onto the user. I appreciate projects that do not treat me like a child but provide a professional tool with clear rules of the game. The industry is suffocating from complexity. The future belongs not to those who build new bridges between mazes, but to those who demolish these mazes. I view Fogo not as another L1, but as an attempt to bring common sense back to Web3.
