Everyone loves talking about speed in crypto. TPS. Milliseconds. Big flashy numbers. But let’s be honest, none of that matters when the network gets slammed during a market spike.
Fogo is a high-performance Layer 1 built on the Solana Virtual Machine, which means it uses parallel execution. Transactions that don’t touch the same state can run at the same time instead of waiting in line. That’s how it squeezes serious performance out of modern hardware.
But the real story isn’t just speed. It’s predictability.
When volatility hits and bots flood the network, average performance numbers don’t mean much. What matters is whether transactions still settle on time. If latency spikes, traders lose money, liquidations misfire, and apps feel broken.
By building on the same execution model that powers Solana, Fogo starts with a strong foundation. The big question is whether it can stay consistently fast under pressure.
Because in finance, “usually fast” isn’t good enough. It has to work when things get chaotic.
