Launched in early 2026, Fogo is a Layer 1 blockchain built on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) architecture. It is designed by former Wall Street professionals (including alumni from Citadel and Jump Crypto) to be the "fastest highway" for decentralized finance #fogo
Technology: It uses a specialized version of the Firedancer client, achieving block times of approximately 40 milliseconds (about 10 times faster than Solana).
Purpose: It isn't a general-purpose chain for NFTs or gaming; it is vertically integrated for institutional-grade trading, order books, and derivatives.
