Over the past year, there's been a trend toward app design that makes on-chain transactions feel like a collaborative team sport, abandoning the solitary PvP model. Apps exploring this design space are experiencing lasting success, with @tryfomo currently leading the pack 👇 ~~ Comment by @davewardonline ~~ After raising $2 million in February from industry luminaries like @rajgokal (Solana co-founder) and @notthreadguy, the app has hit its stride. It provides an easy-to-use and deeply social environment for trading tokens across Solana, Base, and (yesterday) BNB on mobile devices. The fundamentals are solid: gas-free transactions, seamless fiat access via Apple Pay, Venmo, or debit cards, a familiar feed-style user experience, and no wallet management required (unless you actively request it). These features make FOMO indistinguishable from everyday consumer apps. But what truly sets FOMO apart is its social network. Each user has a simple profile showing their balance. ➢ Each token displays holders, price increases or decreases, and shared opinions. ➢ Each user profile displays open and closed positions for complete transparency. Each account can be followed, allowing users to build a network of "friends" and receive notifications of their trades so they can track or reverse them. This social experience is comprised of five core tabs. ➢ The homepage displays market trends and active trades. ➢ The Friends and Leaderboards section displays the top-performing traders, with rankings dynamically updated based on returns. ➢ A dynamic aggregation of real-time trading updates from all FOMO platforms serves as the app's social layer. ➢ Referral Links provides a personal link that earns a 10% fee discount while allowing you to earn 25% of USDC trading fees. ➢ Your profile displays your balance, positions, and available cash, while allowing followers to opt in to receive trade notifications. What I Like About FOMO I've been using this app quite a bit in recent weeks. It's incredibly helpful for discovering quality traders and tokens. Furthermore, it's useful for gauging the consensus or counter-trend nature of specific tokens. This reputation makes it a reliable indicator for identifying market trends before they hit Twitter. I also appreciate that all transactions are denominated in USDC rather than SOL or ETH. This makes managing your account balance much more convenient, without having to constantly mentally switch between different assets. Areas for Improvement The app is still in its early stages, and there are still some areas for improvement. Latency is noticeable, especially on Base. Transactions often take a few seconds longer than with high-speed Telegram trading bots. While not a major issue, it's enough to let you notice when the market is moving rapidly. The feed also offers filtering options. It can filter by your immediate network rather than viewing activity across the entire platform, allowing you to see if your friends are taking coordinated positions without relying on individual alerts. The Big Picture Overall, as a consumer experience, FOMO is profound. It's a powerful example of what can happen when cryptocurrency apps incorporate the social aspects that have always been implicit in transactions, making them transparent, accessible, and mobile-first. Whether you're an active on-chain user or simply curious, FOMO is worth a try.
