I keep saying this: speed is easy to market, but it’s not what builds trust.
What actually decides whether a chain survives is the experience under pressure, and the biggest friction point in DeFi isn’t even TPS… it’s permissions.
Most apps push you into two extremes:
• sign every single action (secure, but tiring)
• approve unlimited once (smooth, but risky)
What I like about Fogo’s Sessions idea is the middle path. I can sign once, set the limits (time, spend cap, allowed actions), and then the app can operate smoothly inside those boundaries. If it tries anything outside? It’s blocked.
That sounds like a small UX improvement, but for trading it’s huge. Trading isn’t “one transaction.” It’s a loop: place, edit, cancel, rebalance, repeat. If a chain is fast but your wallet keeps interrupting you, the speed stays on paper.
For me, this is the real difference:
“Fast chain” vs “fast to use.”
And the chains that win long-term will be the ones that make control feel simple, not scary.
