There is a way people describe a new blockchain that works like Solana: they call it a Solana clone..

In Fogos case that is not accurate.

When we talk about clones we mean something that uses the base as something else. Like when someone moves into an apartment they use what's already there and make some changes.. Fogo did not do that. It tore down the old. Built something new using materials that did not exist before.

At glance Fogo and Solana may seem similar. They both use a shared machine have compatible tools and can run the same smart contracts.. If we look closer we can see that they have very different goals. Solana wants to improve what it already has while Fogo wants to create something

The Firedancer situation is an example of this difference. Solana has been waiting for Firedancer to be fully deployed, which is a client that will make it work faster.. Fogo did not wait. It built Firedancer- features into its protocol from the start.

This decision has some effects. When you run Solana contracts on Fogo it feels different. The code is the same. It runs much faster. It is like the difference between a car and a bike. They can both take you where you want to go. The experience is very different.

When we compare Fogo to Sui and Aptos we can see that Fogo made some choices. Move is a language but it is also hard to learn. Fogo chose to use SVM, which means it can use the developers, tools and contracts as Solana. This makes it easy for Solana developers to switch to Fogo.

Fogo also made some tradeoffs to get this performance. The computers needed to run Fogo are very powerful which means only people with machines can participate. This goes against the idea of blockchain, which was supposed to be something anyone could join not just people with a lot of money.

This raises some questions. Is Fogo still a system if only a few people can join?. Is it just a system that works very well but is not very open? The answer depends on what you think decentralization means. Is it about making sure everyone can join or is it about making sure the system is safe and secure?

Fogo is a system looking at because it does not try to hide its tradeoffs. It is designed to be very fast. It is willing to give up some openness to get that speed. This may be the future of blockchain. It may be a step, in the direction. Either way Fogo is making the industry think about what it wants.
