Fogo is effectively testing whether SVM can survive outside that original validator culture. Code is portable. Incentive alignment is not.
If Fogo’s independent validator set does not internalize similar performance pressures, determinism weakens during volatility spikes. You would see it in higher block time variance, fork frequency, or clusters of failed transactions around contested accounts. And once execution becomes probabilistic, high-frequency DeFi immediately reprices risk.
So the real bet is not throughput. It is whether deterministic parallel execution can be reproduced without inheriting Solana’s coordination machinery. That is an incentive experiment, not a software one.
