Fogo is a new Layer 1 blockchain built for speed, fairness, and performance. It runs the same virtual machine as Solana (the SVM), meaning developers and users can bring their favorite Solana apps straight to Fogo — but with even faster execution and a smoother experience.
At its core, Fogo was designed for traders and DeFi users who want things to just work instantly.
With 40 millisecond block times and 1.3s finality, transactions on Fogo feel real-time. No lag, no waiting, no missed opportunities.
The network is powered by the $FOGO token, which is used to pay transaction fees and secure the chain through staking.
Now FOGO/USDT is available on WEEX Pre-Markte.

Team & Background
Fogo (FOGO) is a high-performance SVM-based Layer-1 blockchain specifically designed for on-chain trading. Built on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) and utilizing the Firedancer client, it aims to deliver ultra-low latency, near-instant finality, and unparalleled scalability. Fogo seeks to eliminate "taxes" in trading—such as latency taxes, friction taxes, and bot taxes—enabling traders to react faster, protect profits, and support real-time financial applications. The mainnet is nearing full launch, with the $FOGO token set for its Token Generation Event (TGE) and airdrop on January 13, 2026.
Operation Mechanism
Fogo operates via a multi-local consensus mechanism to minimize latency, with validator nodes strategically colocated near market execution points. It supports sub-40ms block times and 1.3-second confirmations, along with gas-free Sessions and Paymaster technology, where dApps sponsor user transaction fees for a seamless, gas-free experience. Additionally, Fogo ensures fair execution, reducing front-running and MEV extraction to better protect retail traders.
Technical Architecture
Fogo is built on Solana's architecture, fully compatible with the SVM, and powered by the Firedancer high-performance client developed by Jump Trading. Its tech stack includes a curated validator set, native price feeds, an enshrined DEX, and colocated liquidity providers, creating a vertically integrated high-performance infrastructure. This design is optimized for high-throughput, low-latency applications like on-chain order books, real-time auctions, and precise liquidations.
Application Scenarios
Fogo is primarily used for high-frequency on-chain trading, DeFi (perpetuals, spot trading, lending), real-time asset tokenization, and scenarios requiring millisecond-level responses. It suits professional traders for fast execution, leverage operations, and profit protection, while supporting ecosystem dApps (such as lending protocols, DEXs, and wallet tools) to build comprehensive DeFi experiences. In the future, as asset tokenization grows, Fogo is positioned to serve trillion-dollar real-time financial markets.
Token Information
$FOGO is Fogo's native token with a total supply of 10 billion tokens. As of January 12, 2026, circulating supply is approximately 3.755 billion, with a price around $0.056 (subject to high volatility from pre-market trading).
Allocation breakdown: Core Contributors 34%, Foundation ~30.38%, Echo Raises 9.25%, Institutional Investors 8.77%, Advisors 7%, Airdrop and Launch 6.6%, Burned 2%, etc. Most allocations have a 12-month cliff followed by 4-year linear vesting.
$FOGO utilities include: network gas fees (sponsor-able by dApps), staking for native yields, and value accrual via the "Fogo Flywheel" (Foundation supports projects with revenue sharing). A portion is burned, emphasizing community focus and long-term incentives.
