Maybe you’ve felt it.
You place a trade. The price looks fine. The slippage setting is reasonable. You confirm.
And somehow you still get filled worse than expected.
That gap isn’t random. It’s the bot tax.
On most chains, your transaction sits in a public mempool before it’s confirmed. Bots scan that waiting room in real time. If they see a profitable move, they jump ahead of you, push the price up, let your trade execute, then exit. The difference comes out of your pocket.
It’s quiet. But it adds up.
Even a 0.5 percent extraction rate on $100M in daily volume means $500,000 per day leaking from users to MEV bots. That’s not market volatility. That’s structure.
Fogo is built around removing that structure.
By limiting transaction reordering and neutralizing priority manipulation, it cuts off the core advantage front-running bots depend on. No visibility edge. No sandwich. No hidden spread widening.
On the surface, that means fewer predatory trades.
Underneath, it means something bigger - profits stay where they’re earned. Liquidity providers face less toxic flow. Traders get closer to the price they see. Early token launches aren’t distorted by snipers racing scripts.
MEV isn’t entirely evil. Arbitrage that tightens spreads is healthy. But extraction that exists only because users are exposed in a public queue? That’s a design choice.
Fogo chooses differently.
If this holds at scale, the real shift won’t be louder charts. It’ll be quieter execution. And in markets, quiet fairness compounds. @Fogo Official $FOGO #fogo
