Every time I see another promising DApp bleed users because "The fees spike during peak hours!,” I think of something seditious.
What if we’ve been building the future on top of infrastructure made for the past?
It’s the type of helplessness that makes devs think about going to farm their carefully optimized contract that just got stuck behind a slew of 17 JPEGs and a memecoin rug.
I've just spent a week in Fogo's parallel execution and I can't help but think that we’ve normalized waiting, not as something that should be avoided, but something we assume is a feature.
Old school chains process transactions in the way that there’s a single cashier at peak hour. Your important trade is going to wait while some picture of a cat gets minted. We call it fairness. In reality, it’s just shared suffering.
Fogo doesn’t just queue, it actually orchestrates. The Solana Virtual Machine can execute non-conflicting transactions at the same time. Your DeFi trade is going to be minting along with some NFT.
That 150ms finality is not about speed. It's about synchronicity.
I launched a real-time auction last month. On Ethereum, bids took a while to arrive, like you sent a letter. On Fogo, they arrived like you sent a thought.
I’m not trying to bury the old guard, but if it's over a year, or multiple years, and you're writing Rust and watching your users wait, spend a weekend and deploy on Fogo.
Your users won't thank you for speed. They won't tolerate waiting again.
