FOMO App Tutorial 2026: How to Sign Up, Use Code VIP50 (0.45% Fee) & Trade on Solana
To start on FOMO, open fomo.family/r/VIP50 (code VIP50), create your account and fund it: your trading fee is then 0.45% instead of 0.50%. This tutorial walks through sign-up, funding, your first trade and the fee bands that matter on Solana.
What Is the FOMO App?
FOMO (fomo.family) is a mobile-first social trading app. You can follow other traders, see what they buy and trade tokens on Solana · Base · BNB Chain · Monad · Robinhood Chain · Ethereum · Arc · Elysium. Custody: Self-custody, with a passkey wallet. The standard trading fee is 0.50%; with a referral code such as VIP50 it is 0.45%.
Partner link: Trenchfees may earn a referral fee share at no extra cost to you (see Terms).
Step by Step: Sign Up and Make Your First Trade
Open the invite link before you install
Open https://fomo.family/r/VIP50 on the phone you will use and install FOMO from there. This attaches code VIP50 to the account you are about to create.
Create your account
Sign in with Apple / Google / Email Sign-In. FOMO creates a self-custodial passkey wallet. If a referral code field appears, check that it shows VIP50.
Fund the wallet
Add funds with Apple Pay, a card or USDC from another wallet.
Find a token
Use search or the social feed to find a token, and check liquidity and holders before you buy.
Buy and read the fee line
Enter an amount and review the order preview before confirming. From 190 USDC on Solana the fee line shows 0.45% with VIP50; smaller trades use the minimum-fee bands.
Sell or take profit
Sell from your holdings the same way. Every sell is charged at the same rate as a buy.
FOMO Fees You Should Know Before Trading
On Solana, small trades pay a minimum fee, so very small buys are expensive in percentage terms. From 190 USDC the percentage fee applies.
| Solana trade size | 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 |

Tips for New FOMO Users
- Size matters on Solana: a 10 USDC buy costs 0.20 USDC (2%), a 1,000 USDC buy costs $4.50 with VIP50 (0.45%).
- Every trade counts twice: buying and selling are both charged.
- Protect your passkey: FOMO is self-custodial. Nobody from FOMO or Trenchfees will ever ask for your login or recovery details.
- Memecoins are high risk: they can lose all of their value. Only trade what you can afford to lose.
I Already Signed Up Without a Code
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.
