Fogo Chain, a new layer-1 blockchain running on Solana's software, plans to use Jump's Firedancer client and implement multi-local consensus to push Solana's performance limits. Fogo believes that even when Firedancer goes live, Solana could still be slowed down by validators running existing Solana clients. Fogo will exclude under-provisioned or abusive validator nodes and coordinate physical locations to achieve lower latency. However, some have criticized Fogo for using Firedancer's open-source code on a different blockchain. Despite the criticism, Fogo believes its experiments will provide useful findings for Solana's future development. Other attempts to build new blockchains using Solana's software have also been made, such as Douro Labs' Pythnet.
