The Fogo Thesis -> Zero Compromise
Latency became accepted
Fairness became negotiable
wtf happened?
Crypto is supposed to fix finance.
If you’re a trader, 400ms isn't fast enough. 100ms isn't even fast enough.
Once you pull back a couple layers it's wild what's going on🤯
You’re fighting for PnL against bots and arbitrageurs.
The only thing that matters.
Latency, Latency, Latency
