The fomo app is a crypto trading app from FOMO Labs Inc. for iOS, Android and the web, where every trade shows up in a social feed. It charges a fee on each trade; in the 30 days to November 8, 2026, traders paid it $10.3M in fees, down 63% on the 30 days before and well below the $35.9M of September 2026 (DefiLlama).
