Most Layer 1 projects compete by advertising theoretical TPS. Fogo is taking a different route.
Fogo is a high-performance Layer 1 built on the Solana Virtual Machine, but its focus is not marketing numbers. It is focused on real-world execution speed and reliability. Instead of chasing unrealistic benchmarks, Fogo addresses two physical limits that many chains ignore: validator distance and hardware inefficiency.
By introducing geographic validator zones, Fogo reduces communication latency between nodes. On the software side, its Firedancer-based validator client pushes performance closer to actual hardware limits. The goal is simple — make execution faster in practice, not just on paper.
Because it is fully compatible with the Solana ecosystem, developers can migrate applications without major friction. Fogo also introduces Sessions, reducing repeated wallet signatures and potentially enabling gas-sponsored transactions, improving overall user experience.
Fogo is still experimental, but it represents a serious infrastructure-focused approach. In the long term, adoption and live performance will determine whether this design truly delivers.
