New to the fomo app? Start here.

fomo is a social crypto trading app from FOMO Labs. This is an unofficial guide for people who have just heard about it and want to know what it is, whether it is safe, and how to get in and out without losing more than they meant to.

Short version: the app is legit. The memecoins on it mostly are not. Trade with money you can lose.

From curious to first trade

Disclosure: this page contains a referral link. If you sign up through it, this site may earn a share of the fees you pay on fomo. It does not change what we write or what you pay.

  1. Install the app

    Both buttons open fomo.family with our referral code, which sends you to the right store for your phone. Only install from the App Store or Google Play; ignore APK mirrors.

    iOS, App Store Android, Google Play

  2. Understand what you are signing up for

    fomo is a self-custodial app for buying memecoins and other tokens on six chains from one balance, with a social feed of other traders. It is not a bank, and nobody can reverse a bad trade.

  3. Check it is legit and learn the risks

    The company is real and well funded. The risk is the market: most memecoins go to zero. Read these two before you put money in.

  4. Join with the referral code

    Download from the App Store or Google Play, or use the web app. Sign up with email or Apple ID; there is no KYC and no seed phrase. Enter the code cryptofree if the app asks for one.

  5. Fund it, make a small first trade, and know the way out

    Apple Pay is the fastest way in. Start with an amount you would not miss, and read the withdrawal guide before you need it.

Every guide on the site, grouped by the question it answers.

Read this before you fund the app

Memecoin trading is high-risk speculation. Most tokens that trend today are worth close to nothing within weeks, and most people who trade them lose money. fomo does not change that. Nothing on this site is financial advice. If you trade, use money you can afford to lose entirely.
