Good infrastructure reduces defensive behaviour. Speed matters most when it changes what a trader or builder can assume by default.
And Fogo allows you to assume 40ms blocks. And more.
Most perps venues compete on the same surface.
Superluminal changes the mechanism underneath it.
Prism, powered by Dual Flow Batch Auctions, makes front-running structurally impossible.
