I used to think “fast chain” was marketing noise until I started missing trades by a few seconds. That’s when speed stopped sounding flashy and started feeling expensive.
Take Fogo. With block times around 40 milliseconds, you’re looking at roughly 25 blocks per second. Compare that to Ethereum’s average 12 second block time, which means five confirmations can take about a minute. Even Solana, often praised for speed, averages around 400 milliseconds per block under normal conditions. Those numbers aren’t trivia. They reveal how long price discrepancies can exist before the network corrects them.
On the surface, faster blocks mean quicker confirmations. Underneath, they compress arbitrage windows. If a token moves 2 percent on a centralized exchange and the on-chain pool lags by even two seconds, that’s free money for bots. On a 40ms cycle, that window shrinks to fractions of a second. That momentum creates another effect. Liquidity providers face less exposure to stale pricing, which slightly reduces the drag from aggressive arbitrage.
Of course, speed alone isn’t a foundation. We’ve seen fast chains stall under load. If validators cluster or throughput spikes, performance can wobble. Early signs suggest Fogo is holding steady, but it remains to be seen how it behaves during true market stress.
Meanwhile, traders are adapting. As volatility stays elevated and daily crypto volumes hover in the tens of billions, latency itself is becoming a strategy variable. Speed isn’t a buzzword. It’s the quiet layer where edge is earned.
