FOMO Labs published its fee schedule in the help centre article “Trading fees on fomo” on 2 September 2026. The article sets four separate bands for Solana trades, one flat rate for the other five chains, and a lower rate for selected major tokens. We read the article on 3 September 2026 and rebuilt every fee figure on this site to match it.
spot trading fees
FOMO prices a Solana trade by its size, not by one flat percentage. An order under 5 USDC pays a flat 0.10 USDC. An order from 5 to 47.50 USDC pays 2% of the order. An order from 47.50 to 190 USDC pays a flat 0.95 USDC. An order of 190 USDC or more pays 0.50% of the trade. The table below shows what each band costs at a real order size.
Solana trades, priced in USDC.
| Trade size | Band | Fee you pay | Effective rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| $3 | Under 5 USDC | $0.10 | 3.33% |
| $20 | 5 to 47.50 USDC | $0.40 | 2.00% |
| $50 | 47.50 to 190 USDC | $0.95 | 1.90% |
| $150 | 47.50 to 190 USDC | $0.95 | 0.63% |
| $190 | 190 USDC and above | $0.95 | 0.50% |
| $1,000 | 190 USDC and above | $5.00 | 0.50% |
Two examples fix the pattern. A $20 order sits in the second band and pays 2% of the trade, which is $0.40. A $150 order sits in the third band and pays the flat 0.95 USDC, which comes to 0.63% of the order. The effective rate falls as an order grows inside a band, then drops again at the next boundary.
the referral discount, and its unconfirmed scope
FOMO's referral programme gives new accounts a 10% discount on trading fees under the current standard offer. FOMO documents the discount against the 0.50% standard rate only, and that rate becomes 0.45%. The help centre article does not state whether the flat 0.10 USDC fee, the 2% band, the flat 0.95 USDC fee, or the 0.05% major-token rate also carry the discount. Check the fee line on your trade confirmation to see the rate that actually applies.
price the buy and sell separately
A complete trade is charged twice, once to open the position and once to close it. An illustrative 1,000 USDC buy and 1,000 USDC sell at the standard 0.50% rate costs $10.00 total. With a referral code it costs $9.00. An equal-notional $50 Solana round trip pays the flat 0.95 USDC on each leg, which is $1.90 total, or 3.8% of the position. A token has to rise before either round trip breaks even. The buy side is covered in how to buy a token on FOMO, and the full close-out arithmetic is in how to sell on FOMO.

the six chains, and who pays gas
FOMO supports 6 chains from one account and one cash balance: Solana, Base, BNB Chain, Monad, Ethereum and Robinhood Chain. On Solana, FOMO covers network gas, priority fees and token rent, so a trader does not pay them separately. On Base, BNB Chain, Monad, Ethereum and Robinhood Chain, FOMO charges 0.50% per trade at every order size, and the network fee is added on top and shown in the quote before the trade confirms. Full chain-by-chain detail: FOMO supported chains.
major tokens pay a lower rate
Selected major tokens have separate pricing. An order under 1,000 USDC pays a flat minimum of no more than 0.50 USDC. An order of 1,000 USDC or more pays 0.05% with no minimum. The token page inside the app shows which tokens qualify for the lower rate. The under-1,000-USDC wording does not define one exact minimum for every token; we do not treat 0.50 USDC as a universal charge.
perpetual futures fees
FOMO prices perpetual futures separately from spot trading. A perps trade pays 0.05% per trade, plus Hyperliquid's own fee, shown on the order screen before the trade confirms. FOMO takes the fee on open and again on close, and funding rates apply separately on top of both. The minimum position size is 15 USDC notional. Transfers between the spot cash balance and the perps cash balance are free, with a minimum of 5 USDC in and 2 USDC out. Perps are not available to U.S. persons, and the referral discount is not documented for perps trading. Full breakdown: FOMO perps fees.
Historical platform totals are a separate measure
The stored DefiLlama snapshot for the 30 days ending 3 September 2026 recorded $17,253,645 of fees and $1,157,104,114 of volume.
$17,253,645 ÷ $1,157,104,114 × 100 = 1.49% historical fees-to-volume ratio.
This is a platform aggregate, not a typical customer rate or evidence of the distribution of order sizes. The numerator and denominator must use matching periods, products and chain coverage. Adapter revisions can also affect historical data. The snapshot is not re-dated when this article changes.
Our earlier explanation attributed the gap to small-order bands without order-size data. We removed that inference. Use your order's published band and quote for a personal estimate; do not increase exposure just to lower a percentage fee.
how FOMO compares
GMGN charges 1% per transaction by its own documentation. Axiom charges 1% with a cashback tier that nets 0.95% to 0.75%. Moonshot charges 2.5% on orders from $2 to $100 and 1% above that. FOMO's rate crosses each of them at a different order size. Below 47.50 USDC, FOMO's 2% band costs more than GMGN's 1%. Between 47.50 and 190 USDC, FOMO's flat 0.95 USDC and GMGN's 1% cross at $95, and FOMO is cheaper above that point. Above 190 USDC, FOMO's 0.50% is half of GMGN's 1%. Full comparisons: FOMO vs GMGN, FOMO vs Axiom, and FOMO vs Moonshot.
deposits and withdrawals
- Crypto deposits: free from FOMO's side, normal network fees apply.
- Apple Pay / card: provider fees and conversion spreads may apply. Compare the quoted total against the market price before you confirm.
- Bank withdrawals: run through Spritz for U.S. accounts. Fast withdrawals started 9 AM–5 PM Eastern on a business day are described as same-day; regular withdrawals are described as 1–3 business days. These are separate options, not a measured delivery guarantee. Full detail: how to withdraw from FOMO.
fee questions people ask
What is the minimum deposit on FOMO?
The minimum depends on the funding route and provider. This trading-fee schedule does not establish every deposit minimum. Inspect the current deposit screen and do not increase exposure merely to reach a fee threshold.
Does the referral discount apply to the flat fees?
FOMO does not say. The programme's own documentation states the discount against the 0.50% rate only. Verify the fee line in the app on any trade under 190 USDC.
Are there hidden fees?
The costs people miss are the banded Solana rate on small orders, the network fee on the five EVM chains, the payment provider's spread on Apple Pay purchases, and slippage on volatile tokens. The terms say some third-party costs may be estimated or not fully shown; the quote is not a guarantee of every final cost.
