Open-source technology has fueled blockchain innovation by allowing builders to take something great and make it better. By leveraging existing virtual machines and optimizing infrastructure for specific applications, new products reach users who no longer need to settle for the status quo.
Fogo was built with this ethos at its core. As an SVM L1 designed specifically for optimized onchain trading use cases, Fogo was built with intention every step of the way to close the performance gap between decentralized and centralized infrastructure.
Fogo’s mission is simple: enable the best onchain trading experience for everyone.
How does Fogo achieve this? The unique architecture consists of three primary differentiators:
1. Pure Firedancer
Fogo runs on Firedancer, a new validator client that improves blockchain performance by dramatically increasing TPS, reducing latency, enhancing reliability, lowering costs, and enabling long-term scalability.
2. Multi-Local Consensus with Dynamic Colocation
Fogo maintains decentralization and security through a distributed set of validators, but the nodes are colocated in different cities around the world that activate during peak trading hours in specific regions. If a certain set of nodes malfunction, consensus moves to maintain network resilience.
3. Curated Validator Set
Fogo utilizes a curated and permissioned validator set to maintain a high performance bar while simultaneously enforcing an environment conducive to trading. This includes built-in functionality like gas free transactions, colocated liquidity provider vaults, MEV prevention, and more.
How Fogo’s Technical Vision Comes to Life
Technical design is only half the battle; product-market fit means connecting infrastructure to the right applications and users to fuel growth, opportunity, and innovation. As a purpose-built chain, Fogo will incorporate a carefully constructed, vertically integrated tech stack.
This includes a curated validator set, native price feeds, an enshrined DEX, and colocated liquidity providers to offer a truly differentiated onchain trading experience.
