You already get the concept of Layer 1 blockchains—Solana, Ethereum, Monad are textbook examples.

Here's the difference though: those three are built as general-purpose chains. They're designed to handle anything and everything across any use case without special optimization.

Then there's Fogo. Different animal entirely. It's purpose-built specifically for DeFi and trading operations. That focused approach changes the game completely.

SOL-2,2%

ETH-0,66%

MON-0,36%

FOGO1,46%

NGL, the dedicated chain approach like Fogo is indeed smarter than general-purpose chains... it avoids stuffing everything into it.

NGL, the vertical optimization approach like Fogo should have been tried long ago. General chains are not specialized enough in anything...

ngl fogo's laser focus on defi actually sounds like my kind of redemption arc... generalist chains r cool n all but man, we've all eaten liquidations trying to squeeze every last degen trade through eth's congestion right? specialized chains just hit different fr fr

The idea of Fogo is actually quite interesting. Can a vertical approach create a differentiated advantage? It depends on how the subsequent ecosystem follows up.
