Don't misjudge Fogo anymore! It's not just a simple fast chain; it's a reliable support for high-frequency trading.
Never think of Fogo as 'just another public chain that only focuses on speed.' What it does is significantly more challenging than merely seeking speed, and there's much more to it! What Fogo is truly refining is turning the parallel execution advantages of SVM (Solana Virtual Machine) into a foundational capability that can withstand high-frequency trading in the long term, which is far more valuable than just brushing TPS numbers.
For those in trading, the worst fear isn't occasionally being half a second slow, but rather the 'jitter' during explosive market conditions when users are clustered together—confirmation times fluctuate, trades fail and roll back frequently, order cancellations become impossible, and the clearing windows get compressed. In the end, the experience might even be worse than centralized platforms, which is the most frustrating part.
To assess whether a trading public chain like Fogo is reliable, don’t just focus on its advertised maximum throughput; it’s enough to pay attention to three concrete indicators: whether the P95 and P99 latencies can remain stable during congestion, that’s what truly matters; once traffic increases, will the transaction failure rate, rollbacks, and retries surge? Otherwise, the system itself could be overwhelmed; for high-frequency scenarios like order books, perpetual contracts, and market making, can they run stably in the long term, not just showing off for a few seconds?
In simple terms, a good trading chain's performance is never about 'how fast it is,' but rather about 'whether it can be stably fast.' As long as Fogo can leverage the advantages of SVM effectively, reduce jitter, and lower failure rates to enable high-frequency trading to run smoothly on-chain for the long term, it is likely to become one of the most reliable choices in on-chain financial infrastructure, which is the aspect that people are most looking forward to!
