Just finished diving deep into @Fogo Official o's technical architecture and I'm genuinely impressed. What makes Fogo different isn't just claiming to be fast—it's how they achieve that speed.
Fogo delivers 40-millisecond block times with 1.3-second finality . That's 10x faster than Solana's ~400ms. They achieve this through three key innovations: validator colocation in major trading hubs (Tokyo, London, NY), a custom Firedancer client optimized for stability, and the Sessions standard that enables gas-free trading .
The team behind this? Ex-Jump Crypto, ex-Citadel, and ex-Morgan Stanley traders who actually understand what latency means for execution . They're not building for theoretical TPS—they're building for real traders who lose money when transactions lag.
