Do this in order: sell open positions, withdraw everything, confirm the balance is zero, then request deletion through the current in-app account controls or official support. Save records and confirm wallet-access and deletion terms before proceeding. We have not tested account deletion or recovery; this page cannot promise access after closure.

Empty the account first, and export your keys
A FOMO account is a non-custodial wallet powered by Privy, according to FOMO. Closing an app account does not erase blockchain transactions, but the precise recovery options after deletion have not been tested here. Read the official key-export instructions and ask support about continued access before closing an account with assets. Keep private keys secret; never send them to support or a referral publisher. FOMO's help article on creating your fomo account covers how the wallet and its keys work from signup onward.
Close every position
Sell back to SOL or a stablecoin. Each sale is charged at FOMO's normal Solana fee bands, from a flat 0.10 USDC on the smallest orders up to 0.50% on orders of 190 USDC and above. See what the exit costs before you assume the number.
Withdraw everything
Use a supported withdrawal route. For eligible U.S. bank withdrawals, FOMO distinguishes fast withdrawals, described as same-day when initiated 9 AM–5 PM Eastern on a business day, from regular withdrawals of 1–3 business days. These are different options, not a tested timing guarantee. Full detail on the withdrawal page.
Review wallet-access and key-export instructions
FOMO documents key export from settings. Check which wallet and assets the current export covers and whether access remains possible after closure. If you choose to export, store the keys securely and do not paste them into this site or an unsolicited recovery tool.
Confirm zero, including dust
Small leftover token balances are easy to miss and often not worth the fee to sell. Decide deliberately rather than by accident. Check pending orders, withdrawals and other product balances too.
Request deletion in settings
Account settings, then the delete or close option. If it is not there, contact support through the app.
Why the login you used still matters
FOMO documents Apple and Google sign-in and warns that these can create separate accounts rather than interchangeable logins. Check the username, balances and original login method before requesting closure. We have not verified every account-linking or recovery path; use official support if the account shown is not the one you expect.
What deletion does not undo
- Your trading history for tax. Realised gains and losses can have tax consequences independent of account closure. Save your available transaction history before closing; access and retention after deletion are untested here. FOMO's own guidance on this sits under its tax answer page, and your national tax authority is the actual source, for example the IRS digital assets guidance.
- On-chain transactions. Every trade is permanently recorded on a public blockchain. Closing an app account does not remove anything from Solana, Base or any other chain you traded on.
- Records the company must keep. Payment processors and the platform retain certain records under their own legal obligations. FOMO's privacy policy is the document that governs this.
You may not need to delete anything
Two alternatives are worth considering first, because deletion is subject to the platform's deletion and retention rules:
Withdraw and walk away. Check the current terms before deciding to leave an unused account open. If your reason for closing is spending discipline, removing the app is separate from requesting account deletion. It does not itself guarantee control over future spending.
Keep it for the referral side. Your account has a referral link, and the affiliate programme pays a standard referrer a documented 25% share of eligible fees, with Solana first-buy exclusions and network-dependent payout timing. An account you have stopped trading on can still earn from people who signed up through your link.
If you are leaving over cost
Worth diagnosing before you go. FOMO's 0.50% top-band rate is competitive: half of GMGN's 1% and below Axiom's best cashback tier of 0.75% net. What makes the app feel expensive is trading small on Solana: orders from 5 to 47.50 USDC pay a 2% fee, and orders from 47.50 to 190 USDC pay a flat 0.95 USDC, both well above the 0.50% headline. Compare your actual order size across venues and include other costs; do not increase exposure merely to reach a fee threshold. The alternatives page lays out where each venue actually wins.
One thing to note before you close
Account deletion is not a way to obtain new referral benefits. FOMO prohibits self-referral and reward manipulation. For an existing account, ask about the documented support options; do not assume a deleted account can be restored or its past benefits reassigned. Next: the withdrawal process in full, or the complete fee breakdown if cost is the reason you are considering leaving.
