Fogo: SVM Base, “Soul” UX Layer
Fogo starts from a practical premise: keep Solana level program compatibility, then engineer the rest of the chain around latency sensitive trading. The foundation is full SVM execution compatibility, so existing Solana programs and tooling can port with minimal drama.
Where it gets interesting is the “Soul” piece people talk about the session style UX layer that uses intent signing so a normal Solana wallet can authorize actions without the wallet needing native Fogo support, pushing toward gasless, smoother flows.
Under the hood, Fogo leans on a single Firedancer based client approach, multi-local consensus zones, and a curated validator model to keep performance consistent rather than theoretical.
