Fogo Sessions make SPL fee payments feel invisible but the deeper shift is about who controls the transaction lane.
When a user approves a session, a paymaster covers gas and executes actions on their behalf. That convenience moves operational power to whoever runs the paymaster, effectively turning them into the app’s reliability and access layer. UX improves, but dependency increases alongside it.
This structure is reinforced at the protocol level. Sessions are scoped to SPL tokens, while native FOGO is reserved for paymasters and core onchain primitives. In practice, the experience is intentionally centered on sponsored SPL activity rather than direct interaction with the native asset.
Fogo introduces meaningful guardrails spending limits, domain verification, and permission boundaries to reduce the risks of delegated execution. But the structural question remains unresolved: if paymaster infrastructure becomes concentrated, then UX policy, uptime guarantees, and censorship pressure all accumulate at the operator layer.
Long-term resilience won’t be defined by how seamless abstraction feels, but by whether the paymaster layer evolves into something neutral, distributed, and redundant. Invisible fees are the surface improvement control over the transaction pathway is the real story.
