Fogo is not trying to win the performance marketing war. It is trying to win the structural one. That distinction matters. Most Layer-1 chains compete on throughput numbers that exist in lab conditions, detached from adversarial order flow, liquidation cascades, and validator coordination stress. Fogo’s decision to build around the Solana Virtual Machine is less about copying Solana’s speed and more about inheriting a parallel execution philosophy that treats blockspace as a real economic marketplace rather than a symbolic constraint.
The Solana Virtual Machine changes the economics of contention. Instead of forcing every transaction into a single-file line like the traditional account model seen in many EVM chains, SVM allows non-conflicting transactions to execute simultaneously. This seems technical, but it reshapes user behavior. On slower chains, users overpay for priority during volatility spikes. On SVM-based architecture, competition happens at the level of state access. The battleground shifts from gas bidding wars to access patterns and execution predictability. That changes how bots operate, how arbitrageurs price risk, and how protocols design state.
