People keep comparing Fogo to Solana, but that comparison misses the point entirely.
Fogo isn’t trying to win a headline battle over raw transaction speed. It’s focused on fixing what many see as the weakest link in SVM chains: client fragmentation. Instead of juggling multiple competing clients, Fogo standardizes around Firedancer and prioritizes validator performance. That means consciously sacrificing some theoretical decentralization to achieve something far more valuable for serious markets — consistency and reliability.
Fogo is targeting sub-50ms block times with predictable execution for order books, liquidations, and institutional-grade DeFi flows. Not just fast in theory, but stable under real market stress. That’s a completely different objective from simply pushing TPS numbers.
This isn’t about being “faster than Solana.”
This is about redesigning market structure at the protocol level.
That’s market structure engineering on another level 🔥
