#fogo $FOGO
Fogo launches with a clear and principled approach: deliver a powerful, open network today, while building methodically toward the future. This post outlines at a high level the foundational Day 1 architecture you can build on from launch.
The Engine: A Custom Firedancer Client. Fogo’s core is a custom Firedancer client, built on performant Agave code with Fogo-specific modifications. The Fogo client is a powerful adaptation focused on delivering operational stability and speed in @Fogo Official unique environment. Network consensus is compatible with improvements to Firedancer as they emerge.
Consensus: Stability First. All initial active validators are currently collocated in a single, high-performance data center in Asia, where they are adjacent to a center of gravity for other crypto exchange servers. Validators are also running full nodes in alternate data centers and are on standby for immediate contingency rotation.
