Fogo is a Layer 1 blockchain aimed at on-chain trading. It runs the Solana Virtual Machine, so it is compatible with Solana-style programs and tooling rather than the Ethereum Virtual Machine. The project's pitch is low latency and fast confirmations, and it is associated with the Firedancer validator client. Trading-focused chains like this accept some trade-offs in how validators are set up in return for speed and reliability.
FOGO is the native token. It is used to pay network fees and to stake with validators, and staking is the base for much of the early DeFi activity. Fees are set by the protocol, so check current figures in the project's documentation before moving funds. At the time of writing, DeFi TVL on Fogo is about $306,000, which makes it a very early ecosystem.
The native dApps are mostly staking and lending. Ignition LST issues iFOGO and Brasa Finance issues stFOGO, so holders can earn staking rewards and keep a liquid token. Pyron offers lending and borrowing with LST looping and FOGO rewards, aimed at experienced DeFi users. Exchanges such as Gate and Backpack also appear on this page, but they operate across many chains. If you use a centralized exchange, make sure it is legal in your country and that you meet its age and identity requirements.

Fogo FAQs
What is Fogo?
Fogo is a Layer 1 blockchain built for trading and other latency-sensitive applications. It uses the Solana Virtual Machine, so it is compatible with Solana-style programs, and it is designed around fast confirmation times.
Is Fogo an EVM chain?
No. Fogo is built on the Solana Virtual Machine rather than the Ethereum Virtual Machine. Apps written for Solana's environment are the natural fit, and Ethereum-style Solidity contracts are not the native standard.
What is the FOGO token used for?
FOGO is the chain's native token. It is used to pay network fees and for staking, which is why liquid staking protocols like Ignition LST and Brasa Finance exist on the chain. Check the project's own documentation for current token details.
Which dApps can I use on Fogo?
Our site lists 7 dApps for Fogo. They include native liquid staking protocols such as Ignition LST (iFOGO) and Brasa Finance (stFOGO), and the lending protocol Pyron. Gate and Backpack are exchanges that support multiple chains, and they appear here alongside the native apps.
How big is the Fogo ecosystem?
At the time of writing, DeFi TVL on Fogo is about $306,000, so the ecosystem is at an early stage. Native protocols hold only a few hundred thousand dollars each at most, which means liquidity can be thin and prices can move more on larger trades.
Is it risky to use Fogo dApps?
A young chain with small TVL carries extra risks, including smart contract bugs, thin liquidity and unproven protocols. Liquid staking and leveraged looping add further layers of risk. Only use funds you can afford to lose, and read each protocol's documentation first. This is not financial advice.
