@Fogo Official is a Layer 1 blockchain — meaning it’s a base blockchain like Ethereum or Solana — but it’s built specifically for ultra-fast decentralized finance (DeFi) and on-chain trading.
#fogo runs on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) and uses a custom Firedancer-optimized client to achieve very low latency (≈40 ms blocks, ~1.3 s finality).
$FOGO is used for:
•paying transaction (gas) fees, sometimes sponsored by apps,
•staking to secure the network and earn rewards,
•ecosystem incentives and governance alignment,
•and fueling growth programs for builders.
It began public trading in mid-January 2026 on exchanges like Binance, with features such as spot, futures, and Earn products. Around that time there were also airdrops for early community participants. Visit (https://claim.fogo.io) — this is the only legitimate place to check and claim your airdrop. Do not use random links you see on social media or search — they’re often scams. The portal will show you if your wallet has any $FOGO to claim based on past interactions with the Fogo ecosystem. If eligible, you’ll be able to claim directly on the portal — the tokens are typically fully unlocked and usable immediately. Your wallet may need a very small amount of SOL or native chain fee (gas) to authorize the claim transaction — standard for blockchain claims. Eligibility was generally based on early engagement with the Fogo project and ecosystem before mainnet launch, including things like:
•Participation in the Flames program (Season 1 & 1.5)
•Being among the first Early Fishers testers
•Holding certain Discord roles
•Owning a Lil Fogees NFT and around 22,300 wallets qualified, with average allocations in the thousands of $FOGO.
