Fogo Sessions represent a fundamental shift in how users experience on-chain applications. Instead of forcing people to understand gas fees, wallets, and endless transaction approvals, Fogo Sessions move complexity into the background and prioritiseoritiseoriitiseoritise usability first. The goal is simple: make interacting on-chain feel as easy and safe as using a regular app, without sacrificing control or security.
At its core, Fogo Sessions introduce a new chain primitive that removes two major sources of friction in crypto: paying gas and signing every transaction. Rather than improving each action one by one, users sign a single intent message. This intent proves ownership of their wallet and acts as temporary permission to interact with an application. Once created, the session allows smooth interaction without repeated interruptions, creating a fluid and human experience.
This design is powered by account abstraction. Because users are only signing an intent message, any Solana wallet can be used, even if it does not natively support Fogo. There is no need to migrate assets, install new tools, or change habits. Users bring the wallets they already trust and immediately gain access to Fogo apps.
Another major innovation is gasless interaction . Fogo Sessions integrate paymasters that handle transaction fees on behalf of users. This means users can explore applications without owning native tokens or worrying about running out of gas at the worst moment. For newcomers especially, this removes one of the biggest barriers to entry in crypto. You can arrive, click, and participate instantly.
Convenience alone is not enough, so Fogo Sessions are built with strong user protection mechanisms. Each session is bound to a specific domain, ensuring that the signed intent can only be used by the correct application. This reduces the risk of phishing and cross-site attacks. Sessions can also be scoped. Users may choose limited sessions that restrict which tokens an app can access and how much it can use. This allows safe experimentation with new or unfamiliar applications without putting an entire wallet at risk.
Every session is time-bound. Once it expires, it becomes invalid and must be renewed. This prevents long-lived permissions from being abused and gives users ongoing control over their exposure.
Importantly, Fogo Sessions only allow interaction with SPL tokens. Native FOGO is not exposed to applications and is reserved for low-level protocol functions such as paymasters. This separation adds another layer of structural safety and reduces attack surfaces.
The result is a consistent wallet experience across all Fogo apps, with fewer clicks, fewer errors, and far less fear. Fogo Sessions are not just a user-facing feature; they are infrastructure designed to support real adoption. By combining gasless transactions, scoped permissions, and strong safety guarantees, Fogo Sessions show what crypto looks like when usability is treated as a core protocol concern rather than an afterthought.
