Fogo achieves this by dismantling the compatibility scaffolding unlike Solana, which retained concessions to broader hardware accessibility. Fogos parallel execution engine treats these concessions as unnecessary resulting in a runtime that can saturate NVMe throughput. However this is only possible if you have NVMe throughput.
The IOPS demand under block pressure is real and validators running mid-tier storage can fall behind the chain tip suddenly. This creates tension at Fogos core as the performance numbers are real. The hardware prerequisites that produce those numbers are also real.
Comparing Fogo to Monad reveals approaches to the same problem. Monad is a rehabilitation project that takes an execution model and retrofits it with new features. Fogo on the hand optimizes for the architecture it has not the one it inherited allowing it to move faster but also making its failure modes more abrupt.

Fogos local fee market isolation is one of its underappreciated design decisions. By separating accounts based on access temperature it prevents cascade failures that plagued high-throughput chains. However this tradeoff affects liquidity topology making blockspace more predictable but less fungible.
Suis object-ownership model takes an approach resolving parallel conflicts at the data structure level. While it eliminates write conflicts it struggles with globally contested state. Fogos fee isolation doesn't prevent contention. Prices it honestly and contains its blast radius.
What emerges from examining these chains is that high-performance chains are competing on how their bottlenecks behave. A chain that degrades predictably is operationally manageable while a chain that collapses suddenly is not.
The future of chains will be decided by teams that understand their own latency not just between nodes on a map but, between their architecture and the hardware reality of the validators keeping it alive.
