#Fogo $FOGO The token is the native cryptocurrency of the Fogo network, a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain built on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM). Fogo is optimized for ultra-low-latency, real-time decentralized finance (DeFi) and trading applications, with features like sub-40ms block times and near-instant finality.Here are the primary use cases for the token, based on its role in the ecosystem:
Gas fees / Transaction fees —
$FOGO is used to pay for executing transactions, interacting with smart contracts, placing orders on decentralized exchanges (DEXs), and other network activities. The network also supports features like fee abstraction (e.g., via paymasters) and gasless experiences through tools like Fogo Sessions.
Staking and network security — Validators and delegators stake
$FOGO to participate in consensus, secure the network, and earn staking rewards (yields). Malicious behavior is penalized through slashing, aligning incentives for honest participation.
Governance — holders can vote on protocol upgrades, parameter changes (including to the enshrined order book), and other key ecosystem decisions, enabling community-driven governance.
Ecosystem incentives and alignment — The token supports broader ecosystem growth, including incentives for builders, validators, liquidity providers, and long-term protocol alignment among participants.
While the token itself powers the infrastructure, the Fogo blockchain as a whole enables advanced on-chain applications that benefit from its speed, such as:
On-chain order books and hybrid DEXs
Perpetual futures and derivatives trading
Real-time auctions
High-frequency trading strategies
Institutional-grade DeFi protocols
Precise liquidations and low-latency financial primitives
These make you particularly valuable in latency-sensitive, high-performance DeFi environments. The token launched with Fogo's mainnet in January 2026 and is traded on major exchanges.
