The market this morning looks like a tired loop, prices twitching and everyone talking about 2026 as a fresh beginning, while I just want to know how Fogo can grow from 2026 to 2030 without burning itself out.
I still remember a night of rushed deploying after an audit came back with a list of issues longer than expected, then liquidity got stuck because the pool was thin and slippage ate whatever comfort was left, how ironic, I think that kind of pain taught me to see growth as a load bearing problem, not a story. This cycle has familiar patterns too, narratives flipping faster, timelines slipping because of infrastructure and compliance, perhaps the difference is builders leave earlier now when fees spike unpredictably and the mempool swells, when users cannot tell what they will pay or whether their transaction will clear, and this kind of friction will decide who still has room to grow by 2030.
Fogo holds my attention because it tackles that bottleneck with a practical mechanism, when the network is under stress it separates the resource reservation layer from the execution fee layer, queues transactions by committed resources and real time congestion signals, then adjusts a target fee in step with load to smooth the jolts. The advantage of Fogo, I think, is turning fees and latency into something predictable enough for products to scale, and there is also the roughly 40ms speed that sounds like marketing but is actually very practical, it makes interactions feel almost instant, which matters from 2026 to 2030 as micropayments, onchain games, and automated transaction flows will only grow if the experience stops feeling like waiting and doubt.
If 2026 to 2030 is a period where the market rewards disciplined infrastructure, then Fogo growth will come from keeping users around long enough for habits to form, and keeping builders around long enough to go the distance.
