Summary

Fomo (fomo.family) is a consumer social crypto trading app developed by FOMO Labs, Inc. of San Francisco, co-founded by former dYdX employees Paul Erlanger and Se Yong Park. Launched in May 2025 and backed by $19 million in funding led by Benchmark Capital, the platform operates on Solana, Base, and BNB Chain with a non-custodial wallet architecture. The platform is explicitly unregulated, has no publicly disclosed security audits, charges flat per-trade fees that disadvantage small traders, and has spawned at least one active phishing/wallet-drainer scam site impersonating its brand.
