Learn how Fogo sessions amplifies your trading experience across the Fogo ecosystem.

Y'know how big tech™ has made it so easy to just hand over your data sign into a plethora of online services from one account? Whether it's Google, Facebook, or a handful of others, you can sign up and sign in to thousands of services with a single click.

Fogo Sessions: Think that level of usability, but without the Big Brother.

Sign in with a single click to every dApp across the Fogo ecosystem and enjoy gas-free, signature-free, security-first trading. This is what makes Fogo Sessions more than a UX upgrade, it's a trading edge. Every pop-up skipped is latency saved, and every gas fee waived is tighter pricing for traders. All at the speed of physics.

What is Fogo Sessions?

At its core, Fogo Sessions is a blend of account abstraction and paymaster infrastructure. It lets you interact with apps on the chain without signing every single action or paying gas. You create a one-time intent message using any SVM-compatible wallet, and let Fogo's system handle the rest. It's a smoother, safer way to explore, trade, and transact.

The idea behind Fogo Sessions is simple: Log in once, act freely, and never feel the drag of repeated prompts or gas confirmations. To make that possible, Fogo uses a special, temporary key that lives just long enough to support your activity. Nothing more, nothing less, your security is prioritized.

What's a Session Key?

Think of your wallet as a master key you only bring out when absolutely necessary. A session key is more like a temporary keycard. You use your wallet once to mint that keycard. For the rest of your session, it quietly signs actions on your behalf, securely, and only within the bounds you set.

The session key stays in your browser, expires automatically, and gives you smooth, gas-free trading until you're done.

Built for Security, By Design

Convenience is only valuable if it doesn't compromise safety. Fogo Sessions is designed with several protective layers:

• Scoped Permissions: Session keys are app-specific. A key issued for a trading app can only act inside that app, and nowhere else.

• Ephemeral Keys: Keys are temporary and expire on schedule. If one were ever compromised, it wouldn't stay useful for long.

• Human-Readable Intents: Instead of ambiguous transaction requests, you sign a clear message tied to a recognizable web domain. If your wallet says "fogo.io," you know exactly who you're dealing with.

Traders need confidence that execution is safe as well as fast. These guardrails align with Fogo's larger mission: Building the highest-performance, most secure chain for trading.

Fogo Sessions: A Step-By-Step Guide to Gasless Trading

Fogo Sessions are designed to feel effortless & have the security of your assets at its core. Here's what the experience looks like from your side:

1. Connect Your Wallet
   Open the app and connect the Solana wallet you already use - nothing new to install.

2. Approve a Session
   Your wallet will ask for a single signature to start a session. This is the only approval you'll need for most actions. Instead of a random program address, you'll see a clear, human-readable request tied to the app's domain (like app-name.com).

3. Use the App Without Interruptions
   Once the session is live, the pop-ups stop. Every action just works: Fast, direct, and without extra signatures.

4. No Gas, No Hassle
   Normally, every blockchain transaction requires a fee. With Fogo Sessions, those fees are covered by the app. You can trade, transfer, or interact without worrying about holding SOL just to cover gas.

What's Up Next?

The next Fogo Sessions update will be rolling out to an app near you very soon. Expect:

• A New Look, Designed for Clarity
  The UI and UX are being revamped to make everything more intuitive. This includes cleaner visuals, clearer layout, and flows that guide you precisely when you need them.

• Seamless Token Transfers
  Soon, you'll be able to transfer and receive SPL tokens within a session. Send your memecoins to whoever you love (or hate) the most.

• Thoughtful Error Handling for Expired Sessions
  Sessions expire for good reason, and we're making that expiry feel intentional. If a session has ended, the UI will guide you to renew it, rather than letting you hit a dead end. Error states are clear, calm, and actionable.

• Smarter Trading Interface
  Guardrails have been added for trading actions defined by your session limits. Try to trade beyond your permissions? The interface springs to life with warnings or prompts that keep you in control.

Why Sessions Matter

Trading isn't just about speed, it's about trust in the system that's moving your assets. Pop-ups, gas fees, and repetitive signatures aren't just annoyances; they're friction points that cost time, money, and opportunities. Fogo Sessions cuts them out without cutting corners on security.

For traders, that means:

• Cleaner execution: Fewer clicks between intent and outcome.

• Tighter spreads: No surprise fees eating into your edge.

• Confidence baked in: Scoped, temporary, and human-readable by design.

This is how trading infrastructure should feel: Lightweight, reliable, and built for performance.

Fogo Sessions rethinks UX and sets the standard for trading on a chain built for traders, by traders.
