The fee fomo traders actually paid
fomo lists 0.50% per spot trade. This page measures what traders paid in practice, from public data, every two hours.
Over the 30 days to November 8, 2026, fomo spot traders paid 0.63% of what they traded in fomo fees: $8.60M on $1.37B of spot volume (DefiLlama). fomo's listed rate is 0.50%. The rate was 0.60% in October 2026 and 0.53% over the last 7 days.
Realized rate against the listed 0.50%
Realized rate = fomo's spot fees on every chain ÷ fomo's spot volume, over the same days. Over the last 30 days it was 0.13 percentage points above the listed rate.

Why it sits above 0.50%
fomo's spot fee is not one percentage. On Solana's lowest-fee route it is a fixed amount below $190, and fixed amounts are a large share of a small trade. From fomo's published schedule (computed, not measured):
| One buy | Solana, lowest-fee route | Solana, other routes | Other chains |
|---|---|---|---|
| $3 | $0.103.33% | $0.9531.7% | $0.010.50% + network fee |
| $25 | $0.502% | $0.953.80% | $0.130.50% + network fee |
| $100 | $0.950.95% | $0.950.95% | $0.500.50% + network fee |
| $1,000 | $5.000.50% | $5.000.50% | $5.000.50% + network fee |

Three things pull the average the other way: a referral code (0.45% instead of 0.50% on percentage-priced trades), the 0.05% rate on selected major tokens, and the EVM chains, where the fee is a flat percentage with no floor. The realized rate is the net of all of it, weighted by what people actually traded.
What the daily data shows
If floors drive the gap, the rate should rise on quiet days, when fewer large trades dilute the fixed amounts. It does. Over the last 45 days (September 25, 2026 to November 8, 2026), the quieter half of days paid 0.64% and the busier half 0.54%.
A straight line through those days fits closely (R² 0.981): each extra dollar traded added about 0.48% in fees, close to the listed rate, and about $66.7K a day (15% of an average day's fees) did not move with volume at all. A fixed-dollar fee on many small trades would look exactly like that.
What the data cannot show: DefiLlama publishes daily totals, not trades, so we cannot count how many trades fell under each floor or measure the average ticket. Read the pattern as consistent with the floors, not as proof.
The wrong way to compute it
Two shortcuts give a wrong answer from the same public data. Same days, same volume; only the fees on top change. September 2026 shows the gap most clearly:
Right: all spot fees ÷ spot volume
0.47%
$35.0M ÷ $7.47B
Fees on every chain, because every chain's trades are in the volume.
Wrong: Solana fees only ÷ volume
0.17%
$12.9M ÷ $7.47B
DefiLlama books all spot volume on Solana, where balances sit, but books cross-chain fees on the chain where the trade settled.
Wrong: all fees incl. perps ÷ spot volume
0.48%
$35.9M ÷ $7.47B
Adds the Hyperliquid builder fee without adding perps volume, which is not in this volume series.
Over the last 30 days the Solana-only shortcut gives 0.50% and the perps-inclusive one 0.75%, against the right 0.63%. The Solana-only error shrank after September because most fees moved back to Solana; it grows again whenever cross-chain trading picks up.
What is and is not in each number
The ratio is only right if the fee series and the volume series cover the same trades. We read both DefiLlama adapters line by line (November 10, 2026):
Fees (fees/fomo adapter)
- Solana: every USDC transfer into fomo's fee wallet (
R4rNJHaffSUotNmqSKNEfDcJE8A7zJUkaoM5Jkd7cYX), measured on-chain. That includes the 0.05% major-token trades and the small-trade floors. - EVM chains: platform fee plus referral fee on cross-chain trades through Relay, from a Dune table fomo itself publishes (dune.tryfomo.fomo_relay_fees_by_chain).
- Not in it: Solana referral shares and creator rewards. They are paid to the referrer inside the user's own trade and never reach the fee wallet.
- Not in it: network fees on EVM chains (paid by you), pool fees, price impact, token taxes.
Volume (dexs/fomo adapter)
- Native Solana swaps signed by fomo's gas sponsor that pay fomo's fee wallet in USDC, counted once per transaction.
- Cross-chain buys: sponsored USDC deposits into the Relay vault on Solana. So the 0.05% major-token trades and EVM-chain trades are in both series.
- Cross-chain sells: USDC sent from Relay solvers to wallets that also traded on fomo in the same window. This is an inference, and it can miss a sell from a wallet that did nothing else that day.
- Not in it: perps (Hyperliquid), which is why perps fees stay out of the ratio.
Known bias: the measured rate understates what traders paid. The fee side leaves out Solana referral shares, which come out of the fee the trader pays. On EVM chains, where DefiLlama does record them, referral fees were 15.4% of fees over the last 30 days. If Solana trades carried the same share (an assumption, not a measurement), the 30-day rate would be about 0.72% instead of 0.63%.
Two effects could push the other way, by an amount we cannot size: the fee side counts USDC arriving in the fee wallet without checking which transaction sent it, and the volume side can miss cross-chain sells. Neither adapter publishes the counts needed to check.
Day by day
Each bar is one UTC day: wallet fees divided by that day's spot volume. Hover for the figures.

Method
- Fees: DefiLlama's fomo Wallet daily fees, all chains. Volume: DefiLlama's fomo Wallet daily spot volume. Only days present in both with non-zero values count; months add those days.
- Windows end on the last day DefiLlama has published both series. Its data lags at least 10 hours, and the newest day often arrives without the Solana wallet row, so a half-reported day is never used.
- The series starts in July 2026. Before that the volume series is too thin and the ratio is meaningless.
- The fit of daily fees on daily volume uses the last 45 matched days and is descriptive. The page only shows it while the fit is close (R² above 0.8).
Caveats
- This is fomo's own fee only. What a trade costs you also includes pool fees, price impact and, outside Solana, network fees.
- EVM-chain fees come from data fomo supplies to Dune, not from an independent on-chain read.
- An average across all traders. Your own rate depends on your trade sizes, chain and route: see small trades and the calculator.
- The fee your app shows before you confirm is what you pay; fomo's terms say it overrides any example.
Questions people ask
What percent does fomo take?
fomo lists 0.50% per spot trade (0.45% with a referral code, 0.05% on selected major tokens), with fixed minimums on small Solana trades. Measured over the 30 days to 2026-11-08, traders actually paid 0.63% of spot volume in fomo fees (DefiLlama).
Does fomo have high fees?
On large trades fomo charges its listed 0.50%. On small Solana trades the floors make it far more: $0.50 on a $25 buy is 2%. Across all trades, the realized average was 0.63% over the last 30 days. Pool fees, price impact and network fees come on top.
Why is the fee traders paid higher than 0.50%?
Most likely the small-trade floors on Solana, which charge a fixed amount instead of a percentage below $190. DefiLlama does not publish trade sizes, so we can show that the pattern fits (quiet days pay more) but not count the trades under each floor.
Does a referral code lower what I pay?
Only on percentage-priced trades: 0.50% becomes 0.45%. On Solana's lowest-fee route that means trades of $190 and up; a $1,000 buy saves $0.50. It changes nothing on the fixed small-trade fees or the 0.05% major-token rate.
