What is Fogo?

Fogo is a Layer 1 blockchain built for DeFi applications. It is based on Solana's architecture and implements multi-local consensus to achieve minimal latency. The Fogo client is based on Firedancer and maintains full compatibility with the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM).

Applications that require high throughput and low latency, that are difficult to implement on other blockchains are possible on Fogo, such as:

  • On-chain order books
  • Real-time auctions
  • Precise liquidation timing
  • Reduced MEV extraction
