Fogo is aiming for a (very large) piece of the $16T tokenization pie, forecasted to be with us by 2030.
But before that, baby steps toward the greatest onchain trading experience for natives and beyond.
Here’s some of the DeFi primitives launching January 🧵
Gfogo frens in 2026
This year is the biggest opportunity to be in most underrated l1 chain from decade -> @fogo
- chain created for traders with real usecase
- no marketing bs but clear mission and vision
- real usecase for TPS not buzzword
- strong community
- strong builders
- SVM adoption in big scale
Great to see that big CT kols finally found way to try @fogo and they have very positive vibe about tech behind this chain.
If you not tryied yet fogofishing you should definitely check how fast and how stable is good chain like fogo.
ico Tech Test - Fogo Fishing Edition
Over the the past week I got the chance to test out Fogo through their proof of concept app @FogoFishing.
For those unaware, it's basically an idle clicker (with manual options to speed up progression) that demonstrates how fast their txns are.
You bridge in USDC to Fogo (I went from SOL -> Fogo and it took like 2 seconds), and select your ship (I bought the $10 one)
After that you end up on the river and there's a bunch of tiles to click. You can either click them as fast as you can possibly go, or 'auto-fish' and it slowly selects tiles to fish over time. Catching fish grants you FISH tokens
Literally no matter how fast you can click, the txns confirm pretty much instantly, and they use session signing (with pre-selected approval duration) so you don't have to keep confirming txns.
It's also gasless in the sessions...so that's pretty cool.
You end up getting FISH tokens and they've got some tokenomic designs behind the scenes to make emissions scale with network usage and buybacks/burns/etc from the spend in-game (buying rod upgrades, buying turbo-speed fishing, buying ships).
My thoughts...
- Extremely fast. Feels instant
- Gasless txns are great bc you just click and it confirms actions
- Fun enough for an idle clicker with some progression
- In addition to the FISH tokens (which can be sold into AMM for USDC), you get "Flames" on Fogo which help with airdrop allocation (hearing TGE is around Jan 13)
- Fogo fishing is intended as a proof of concept (and flames accumulation vehicle) and you get wallet history for FOGO airdrop (again...might as well do this since airdrop/TGE coming in a couple weeks)
- It confirms transactions faster than my browser can render sometimes (M1MAX graphics problems) lmao
Overall I think this is a really solid demo of the speed that Fogo provides. Remains to be seen for me what sort of applications people will build for large-scale usage on these extremely high-performant chains, but it's for sure a major UX improvement over the 12 second ETH block times I grew up on.
Why is @FluxBeamDEX bringing their product suite of Telegram apps, Rugcheck, a DEX, RPCs, and more to Fogo?
It's the only L1 that can wield Frostmourne.
I like this approach.
Fogofishing showed that @fogo is real blockchain with measured speed not only in "testnet phase" but what important in real environment.
Mainnet from start with understanding real crypto economics:
users need -> onchain economy + good and fast infra
Next step: environment for traders which attract many builders
Don’t be distracted by noise in either direction – and don’t overthink this.
We showed we can deliver the hyper performant L1 we promised – in record time with a minimal raise. Fogo is now at the top of the L1 performance charts on both blocktimes and real TPS. ✅
And no, we’re not patting ourselves on the back for that as it means nothing without lots more sustainable, positive onchain activity.
Yes @FogoFishing has been a solid stress test to work out growing pains, we expect more interesting iterations from that team – but we’re hungry for more success stories onchain on Fogo.
Now we need to show we can attract more killer apps/DEX’s, with an aggressive adoption plan, and a smarter economic value accrual flywheel.
We’re just coming to bat in the first inning – but make no mistake: this isn’t our first rodeo, and we’re playing for all the chips.
Game on.
Every time some doomer cites “failed projects of the past” to argue why a new builder is NGMI – I think of that drunk uncle at your wedding who grabs you on the aisle and whispers:
“Bro… 50% of marriages end in divorce”
Don’t let the bitter divorced guy talk you out building something great.
