fomo fees hit a record $35.9M in September 2026
Traders paid fomo a record $35.9 million in fees in September 2026, according to DefiLlama, more than double August's $16.9 million. Robinhood Chain accounted for $16.5 million of it, more than Solana's $12.9 million. October fell to $14.7 million, so September is the peak, not the current level.
The numbers
Fees here are everything traders paid fomo: spot trading fees on every chain plus fomo’s perps fee on Hyperliquid. Our monthly sums of DefiLlama’s daily series:
| Month (2026) | Fees paid to fomo |
|---|---|
| June | $2.48M |
| July | $7.55M |
| August | $16.94M |
| September | $35.94M |
| October | $14.70M |
September by chain: Robinhood Chain $16.51M, Solana $12.90M, BNB Chain $3.55M, Hyperliquid perps $0.98M, Base $0.95M, Arc $0.62M, Ethereum $0.42M, Monad $0.01M. The busiest single day was 4 September, at $2.15M.
Where it came from
Robinhood Chain, Robinhood’s own blockchain, drove the month. fomo’s first Robinhood Chain fees appear in DefiLlama’s data on 10 July; by September that chain was 46% of all fees. Fees on chains other than Solana come from a data table fomo publishes itself, which DefiLlama reads, so treat them as fomo-supplied rather than independently measured.
What it does and does not mean
Fees are not profit. DefiLlama puts fomo’s September revenue at $32.5 million after $3.4 million of referral payouts on EVM chains, and it cannot see Solana referral payouts at all. A record fee month says nothing about how any token will do: most small tokens lose most of their value.
The level did not hold. October fees fell 59%, and Robinhood Chain fees fell 88% (our story). What traders paid per dollar traded is on the realized-fee bench, and fees by chain are on the chains bench.
How we verify: every entry is checked against a primary source (fomo's help centre, terms, blog, release notes or X posts, read through Internet Archive copies where fomo's site blocks automated readers; or a partner's own announcement), chain data, or at least two independent outlets, before it is published. JomoBench is independent and unofficial: we are not fomo or FOMO Labs Inc. No price calls and no coin picks. Most small tokens lose most of their value.
