Fogo Testnet Now Live on Leap Wallet: Your Guide to the Fastest Layer 1 Blockchain

Fogo testnet is now officially live on Leap Wallet, bringing you a lightning-fast SVM infrastructure designed specifically for traders. If you're looking to experience institutional-grade trading performance in a decentralized environment, this is your chance to get hands-on with what could be the future of on-chain trading.

What is Fogo Chain?

Fogo is positioning itself as the fastest Layer 1 blockchain, built with a clear focus: "No latency. No friction. No bullshit." The project is designed by traders who understand what matters most in the trading experience - speed and reliability.

What sets Fogo apart is its commitment to performance. With blocks processing at an impressive 40ms, Fogo aims to deliver a trading experience that rivals centralized exchanges while maintaining the benefits of decentralization. The chain is built on SVM (Solana Virtual Machine) infrastructure, making it compatible with Solana-based wallets like Leap.

Key Features You Can Try on Fogo Testnet

• Lightning-fast transactions: Experience 40ms block times for near-instant trading

• Solana compatibility: Use your favorite Solana wallet (like Leap) to interact with the chain

• Simplified user experience: Single sign-on with limited session keys eliminates constant transaction signing

• Growing ecosystem: Interact with multiple dApps already live on the testnet

The ecosystem already includes several applications worth exploring:

• Valiant: CEX-grade spot trading with 10x faster swaps than traditional DEXs

• FluxBeam: Solana's premiere DEX and META aggregator with advanced features

• Ambient Finance: Fogo's enshrined perps DEX (coming soon)

• Pyron: Asset productivity layer for borrowing and lending

• RugCheck: Token scanner that provides risk scores to help users avoid scams
