Question 1

What is Fogo (FOGO)?

Accepted Answer

Fogo (FOGO) is the native token of the Fogo blockchain, a Layer 1 network built on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM). Fogo is an adaptation of the Solana protocol that introduces a geographically aware consensus model and standardised validator performance requirements. The network is designed to reduce transaction settlement latency and manage congestion while remaining compatible with existing Solana programs, tooling and infrastructure.

A core feature of the protocol is a **validator zone system**, where only a geographically defined subset of validators participates in consensus during a given epoch. Zones rotate according to on-chain rules, reducing physical network distance on the consensus critical path. Fogo also includes **Fogo Sessions**, a standard that allows time-limited, scoped permissions and optional fee sponsorship, reducing repeated wallet interactions and transaction signing for users.

The network uses a validator architecture based on Firedancer, with a focus on predictable execution and reduced performance variance across validators. The FOGO token acts as the core economic unit of the network.

Question 2

What is Fogo (FOGO) token used for?

Accepted Answer

FOGO is used to support the operation and security of the Fogo network:

- **Transaction fees**: FOGO is used to pay base transaction fees and optional prioritisation fees. The fee model follows Solana’s structure, with base fees partially burned and partially distributed to the block-producing validator.
- **Staking and network security**: FOGO can be delegated to validators. Staked tokens contribute to leader selection, consensus voting and supermajority thresholds.
- **Validator and staker rewards**: FOGO is issued through a fixed annual inflation rate and distributed to validators and their delegators based on participation and vote credits earned during each epoch.
- **Storage rent**: FOGO is used to cover on-chain account storage costs. Accounts that maintain a minimum balance are rent-exempt.
- **Application execution**: FOGO underpins the execution of SVM-compatible smart contracts, including decentralised finance applications, games and other on-chain programs deployed on Fogo.

Question 3

Who created Fogo (FOGO)?

Accepted Answer

Fogo was co-founded by **Robert Sagurton** and **Douglas Colkitt**. The project builds on open-source components from the Solana ecosystem and uses the Firedancer validator client as a core technical foundation. Ongoing development of the Fogo network is presented as a collaborative effort, with additional contributors supporting protocol design and implementation.
