@Fogo Official I wonder why we still accept slow chains in 2026. We’ve tasted speed already. Once you’ve used a fast chain, it’s hard to go back.
That’s why Fogo caught my attention.
It’s an L1 blockchain, yes. But not just another “we’re faster than everyone” type. What makes it interesting is that it runs on the Solana Virtual Machine. And if you’ve actually interacted with SVM based apps before, you know the vibe. Transactions feel instant. No awkward waiting. No second guessing if it went through.
From what I’ve seen, the Solana Virtual Machine is built for parallel execution. That’s a fancy way of saying it can process many transactions at the same time instead of lining them up like a queue at a bank. That’s where TPS becomes more than a number on a dashboard. It actually changes how DeFi feels.
And DeFi is where speed matters. Swaps. Liquidations. Arbitrage. If the chain lags, you lose money. Simple as that. On a fast chain like Fogo, powered by SVM, the experience feels closer to Web2 apps. Click. Confirm. Done.
But I’ll be honest. High TPS alone doesn’t guarantee success. We’ve seen chains brag about performance and then struggle with decentralization or ecosystem depth. A fast chain without real builders and liquidity is just… fast and empty.
Still, I think Fogo choosing the Solana Virtual Machine is a smart move. It taps into proven tech instead of reinventing everything. Developers familiar with SVM don’t need to start from zero. That lowers friction, which is underrated.
For me, the real question isn’t “Is it fast?”
It’s “Will people actually build and stay?”
Speed gets attention. Community keeps it alive.
I’m watching Fogo closely. Not because it promises big numbers, but because I’ve felt what SVM powered speed can do for DeFi. And once you experience that kind of flow, you start expecting it everywhere.
