how to use fomo

From download to first withdrawal. Where to enter the promo code, how to fund the account without losing money to the wrong network, and how the social features actually work.

Updated 15 September 2026

1. get the app

fomo runs on iOS, Android and the web at fomo.family. They share one account: you can open a position on your phone and close it on your laptop. Download from the App Store or Google Play, or just open the web app. Don't install fomo from any other source; fake APKs are a known scam vector.

Using this link takes you straight to sign-up with the referral attached.

2. create the account and enter the promo code

Sign in with Apple, Google or email. There's no wallet to set up: fomo creates one for you in the background.

3. deposit

Tap Deposit on the home screen. Three options:

• Apple Pay — fastest. Funds are available immediately.
• Debit card — same, with a card-processing fee shown at checkout.
• Crypto — fomo shows you a deposit address. Send USDC only, and only on one of the networks fomo lists (Solana, Base and others shown in the app). Sending any other token, or the right token on the wrong network, loses the funds permanently. Send a small test amount first if you're unsure.

Your balance is a single dollar balance across all chains. You don't need to hold SOL or ETH for gas; fomo covers it everywhere except Ethereum mainnet.

4. buy a token

Search by name, ticker or contract address, or browse the Verified, Trending and Gainers tabs. Verified is the safest place to start: it filters out most of the obvious rugs.

On a token page you'll see price, market cap, 24h change, volume, liquidity and holder count, plus a chart with markers showing where top traders bought and sold. Enter a dollar amount (or tap a preset like $25 / $50 / $100) and hit Buy. The fee is shown before you confirm.

Two things to check before buying anything new:

• Liquidity. If liquidity is tiny relative to your order, you'll get bad slippage on the way in and may struggle to sell on the way out.
• Who else holds it. The Holders tab shows which traders are in the token and at what entry. A token with no recognisable names in it is a token nobody has vetted.

5. sell

Open the token, tap Sell, choose an amount or percentage, confirm. Proceeds land in your dollar balance. Selling is charged at the same rate as buying.

If a sell fails, it's almost always a liquidity problem with the token, not the app: there isn't enough on the other side of the trade at that price. Try a smaller amount, or wait for volume. This is the most common complaint in fomo reviews and it's a memecoin problem, not a fomo-specific one, but it's a real risk. See is fomo legit?.

6. use the social side

This is what separates fomo from a plain swap app.

• Leaderboard ranks traders by realised profit. Use it to find people worth following rather than as a signal to copy blindly.
• Feed shows every buy, sell and thesis from people you follow, with the actual position attached. Connect X to find people you already know.
• Alerts notify you when a set number of top traders pile into a token. Turn these on; they're the best early signal in the app.

Following someone shows you their trades. It doesn't auto-copy them, so you still decide every entry and exit.

7. withdraw

You can't withdraw a memecoin to a bank. Sell first, then withdraw from your balance:

• To a wallet. Choose crypto, pick the network, paste your address. Double-check both; a transfer to the wrong network is unrecoverable.
• To a bank. Available in some regions. Link the account, enter the amount, expect up to 3 business days. The first withdrawal may trigger identity verification, so do a small one early.

quick checklist

1. Install from the App Store, Google Play, or fomo.family only.
2. Enter TRADINGFEE during sign-up.
3. Deposit via Apple Pay, or USDC on a supported network.
4. Start in the Verified tab; check liquidity and holders before buying.
5. Turn on top-trader alerts.
6. Do a small test withdrawal before you need a large one.
