One of the more Fogo's sub-40-millisecond block times mean that creators building trading infrastructure, order books, or latency sensitive DeFi don't need to design around the chain's limitations. The chain is quick enough that the application can act more like a traditional high frequency system without requiring custom middleware to fake that responsiveness. That alone removes an entire category of abstraction that creators on slower chains are forced to build and maintain. Because Fogo launched with a vertically integrated native stack DEX, lending, liquid staking, and a launchpad creators building on top of it have composable primitives already in place at the protocol level rather than having to import, audit, and maintain third-party dependencies. On most chains, a creator launching a lending-adjacent product has to connect together several external protocols, each with their own upgrade cycles, governance risks, and potential breaking changes. On Fogo, the foundational layers are native, which means fewer external dependencies and a dramatically cleaner integration surface. The use of Firedancer as the underlying client also matters here. Firedancer was built for predictability and resource efficiency at high throughput, which means the runtime behavior of the chain is more steady under load. Creators building on unpredictable infrastructure often have to write defensive code fallbacks, retry logic, congestion handling that wouldn't be necessary if the base layer behaved reliably. Reducing that unpredictability at the protocol level means creators can write cleaner, leaner application logic. There's also something to be said for the clarity of Fogo's target use case. Because the chain is explicitly oriented toward professional trading and high performance financial applications, the design decisions at every layer are coherent with that goal. Creators aren't navigating a general purpose environment full of features optimized for unrelated use cases. @Fogo Official
