The problem with crypto is that it has a signature problem. Not the cryptographic kind—but the behavioral kind. Each transaction that needs to be signed off on the wallet creates a micro-choice, and micro-choices add up to macro-friction. Fogo Sessions solves this problem.
Fogo Sessions solved the problem of signature friction by using time-based session tokens instead of per-transaction signatures. Fogo Sessions borrowed a trick from software economics: subscriptions are better than pay-per-use because they don’t require decision-making. Netflix didn’t succeed because it was cheaper it succeeded because it eliminated the need to make a choice.
Fogo applies this to DeFi. When users begin a session, they make one trust decision. After that, things happen seamlessly. The security paradigm changes from "trust everything" to "trust the box." This is a trade of cryptographic paranoia for flow.
The bulk of UX improvements in crypto have been superficial. Sessions is substantive. It upends the underlying contract between user and chain, recognizing that the enemy of adoption is not complexity but pause.
40ms block times get attention, but Sessions is Fogo's most underappreciated insight. Blockchain won't compete with Web2 on speed alone. It must compete on mental bandwidth. #fogo @Fogo Official $FOGO
