I've seen chain launches before and I know what to expect. This time I want to say something about Fogo.
Every new chain claims to be fast. They don't tell you what that really means.
A trader who just lost 0.4% of their position to a bot before their order went through doesn't care about 40ms. They just feel robbed. It happens again.
The real selling point of Fogo isn't how fast it is. It's protection. Of saying "we're faster than Solana" they should say "your trade goes through before others can react".
That's a feeling people can relate to and feelings drive people to use something.
The chains that are winning now aren't the most advanced technically. They're the ones that understand peoples emotions. They make developers choose them automatically not because of specs but because of how they make them feel.
Fogo has what it takes to dominate high-frequency DeFi. It can handle real-time order books, fast clearing and quick arbitrage. That's Fogo's strength, not a list of features.
Stop trying to be better than others, on paper. Make traders feel like they won't get scammed when they use Fogo.
That's the measure that really matters.
