@Fogo Official
People talk about Fogo like it’s one thing. It isn’t. It’s two layers that get confused constantly: the client and the network.
Think of it like this:
Client = the engine.
Network = the traffic system.
The Fogo client is the software operators run. It ships in versions, has release notes, gets optimized, fixes bugs, adds tooling. When someone cites a version number or a release, they’re talking about the client.
The Fogo network is what happens when real operators run that client in the real world. Different hardware, uneven tuning, dropped connections, latency spikes, mixed upgrade timing, validator stake distribution, RPC stability, congestion behavior. This isn’t a download. It’s a living coordination system.
That’s why a new release doesn’t automatically mean “Fogo upgraded.” It only means new code exists. The network changes only when adoption is widespread and coordinated. If upgrades are split, what you get is transition friction, not instant improvement.
So evaluate Fogo in two tracks:
Capability (client): what the software can do in ideal conditions.
Reality (network): what actually happens under real constraints.
Track both. Connect them carefully. That’s where the truth is.
