Why Does a Small Trade on FOMO Cost 0.95 USDC or 2%?
Because FOMO charges minimum fees on Solana. Orders under 5 USDC pay a flat 0.10 USDC, orders from 5 to 47.50 USDC pay 2%, and orders from 47.50 to 190 USDC pay a flat 0.95 USDC. Only from 190 USDC (and on every trade on other chains) does the percentage fee apply: 0.50%, or 0.45% with a referral code such as VIP50. These bands apply on FOMO's lowest-fee Solana route; other routes charge the percentage fee with a 0.95 USDC minimum. Source: help.fomo.family: Trading fees on fomo.
FOMO Fee Tiers on Solana
| Solana trade size | FOMO fee |
|---|---|
| Under 5 USDC | 0.10 USDC flat |
| 5 to 47.50 USDC | 2% |
| 47.50 to 190 USDC | 0.95 USDC flat |
| 190 USDC and up (and all other chains) | 0.50% standard, 0.45% with a referral code such as VIP50 |
| Other Solana routes (any size) | 0.50% (0.45% with a code), minimum 0.95 USDC |

The tiers join up without jumps: 2% of 5 USDC is 0.10 USDC, 2% of 47.50 USDC is 0.95 USDC, and 0.50% of 190 USDC is again 0.95 USDC. That is why a 100 USDC trade costs the same 0.95 USDC as a 50 USDC trade: 0.95% of the order.
Worked Examples: 20, 100, 190 and 1,000 USDC
| Solana trade | Tier | Fee without code | Fee with VIP50 | Effective rate with VIP50 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 USDC | Flat 0.10 USDC | 0.10 USDC | 0.10 USDC | 2.50% |
| 20 USDC | 2% | 0.40 USDC | 0.40 USDC | 2.00% |
| 100 USDC | Flat 0.95 USDC | 0.95 USDC | 0.95 USDC | 0.95% |
| 190 USDC | 0.50% / 0.45% | 0.95 USDC | 0.855 USDC | 0.45% |
| 1,000 USDC | 0.50% / 0.45% | 5.00 USDC | 4.50 USDC | 0.45% |

What VIP50 Changes, and What It Does Not
- It lowers the percentage tier: 0.50% becomes 0.45% (10% off) on Solana orders from 190 USDC and on every order on other chains. On a 1,000 USDC trade that is 4.50 USDC instead of 5.00 USDC.
- FOMO's fee table lists no referral rate for the small-trade tiers (0.10 USDC, 2%, 0.95 USDC), so we do not claim the code changes them. The examples above keep those tiers unchanged.
- Until your first trade: On FOMO a referral code can be added until your first trade: open https://fomo.family/r/VIP50 before you sign up, or enter VIP50 when the app asks for a code at login (as long as no referrer is recorded and you have not traded yet). After your first trade there is no way to add one, and a referrer that is already recorded cannot be changed. FOMO's Terms do not allow opening extra accounts to get referral benefits.
- Every valid FOMO code gives the same 10%. Codes that promise 25%, 50% or 100% off are fake: the number is just part of the code name.
What This Means in Practice
Small orders are where FOMO is expensive in percentage terms. Four 50 USDC buys cost 4 x 0.95 = 3.80 USDC; one 200 USDC buy costs 1.00 USDC (0.90 USDC with VIP50). If you mostly trade below 190 USDC, the minimum fees matter far more than any referral code. Read the fee line on the order preview before you confirm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did FOMO charge me 0.95 USDC on a 100 USDC trade?
On Solana, orders from 47.50 to 190 USDC pay a flat 0.95 USDC. On a 100 USDC trade that is 0.95% of the order.
Why is my 20 USDC trade charged 2%?
Orders from 5 to 47.50 USDC pay 2% on Solana, so a 20 USDC trade costs 0.40 USDC. Under 5 USDC the fee is a flat 0.10 USDC.
Does VIP50 lower the 0.95 USDC or 2% fee?
FOMO's fee table lists the referral rate (0.45%) only for the percentage tier from 190 USDC. It lists no referral rate for the small-trade tiers, so we do not claim a discount there.
From what trade size does the 0.45% rate apply?
From 190 USDC on Solana (on FOMO's lowest-fee route), and on every trade on other chains, once a referral code such as VIP50 is on your account. Without a code the rate is 0.50%.
Can I add VIP50 to my existing FOMO account?
On FOMO a referral code can be added until your first trade: open https://fomo.family/r/VIP50 before you sign up, or enter VIP50 when the app asks for a code at login (as long as no referrer is recorded and you have not traded yet). After your first trade there is no way to add one, and a referrer that is already recorded cannot be changed. FOMO's Terms do not allow opening extra accounts to get referral benefits.
