What is fomo?

The crypto world is a complex jungle.

You've probably seen a bunch of people around you turn pennies into generational wealth through crypto and now want a piece of the pie yourself.

Don't worry, it's only natural. We've all been there. But the issue is that you probably have no idea how to navigate through this jungle.

Don't worry, we've got you.

Introducing fomo

fomo is your one-stop shop mobile app for all your crypto needs.

From converting fiat to crypto, to finding coins early and executing trades, all your crypto needs are tended to under one roof.

Stand-out features of fomo:

Let's break this all down.

Imagine your friend Timmy approaches you and says, "Yoo, I just bought this coin called DOGE, and I'm up 10,000%. I'm about to take the family to Hawaii."

You're happy for him on the outside, but can't help but feel major fomo on the inside.

Naturally, you want to do what Timmy did, so you go out there to find yourself the next DOGE.

Typically, you would go on Google or YouTube to find that next 100x coin. Sadly, you'll likely encounter unnecessarily complicated advice and undisclosed promotion from malicious crypto influencers talking about coins they've been paid to promote. That almost never ends well.

The better option would be to download fomo.

If you open the DOGE page on the fomo app, you'll find loads of useful information.

You can find the top holders of DOGE or the people who were early to it. You can see exactly when they bought, and what their latest thoughts on the token are.

Once you find these accounts, simply give them a follow. When they buy or sell, you'll get a notification, straight to your phone, so you never miss a thing. Make sure to have those notifications turned on.

You can click on the tokens they are buying and explore them yourself. You'll find detailed information about what the token is, along with links to socials (X, Discord, and Telegram channels) and information about holders.

All of this information should teach you about how the token functions, what the community is discussing, as well as the team's involvement, and the holder composition will allow you to gauge the risk associated with investing in the coin.

If you believe you've found the next DOGE, you can buy it in just one click.

It doesn't matter if the token is on Base, Solana, BNB Chain, or some other chain; fomo unifies it all under one roof.

You also don't need to worry about having crypto to get started. fomo allows you to avoid lengthy onboarding processes and buy the asset directly using Apple Pay.

Yet another intriguing part of fomo is its social feed. It keeps you updated on what other traders are eyeing/buying, plus you can keep tabs on daily summaries and other educational content available directly on the app.

Just like that, the crypto jungle now feels like a playground.

Forget the next DOGE, you've set yourself up to catch the next five DOGEs if you play your cards right.

Why fomo?

Why fomo matters

The crypto industry has advanced by leaps and bounds over the years, enhancing the user experience on both centralized and decentralized exchanges.

The applications are sleeker, the wallets are more intuitive to use, and the products are more vertically integrated.

Despite this, major barriers still exist:

  1. Funding - Getting money onto platforms is still tricky and time-consuming. Plus, moving money across networks remains tedious and is often expensive.
  2. Discovery - Despite the increase in research and data tools, newer users continue to find it confusing and overwhelming to find assets worth buying. On top of this, the industry often moves at the speed of light, making it challenging to stay on top of the latest trends.
  3. Fragmentation - There are multiple protocols, multiple chains, and multiple wallets, which causes fragmentation of users and liquidity as attention is spread across ecosystems rather than being concentrated. This makes for a horrible user experience as you try to flip-flop between chains.
  4. Scam prevention - Unfortunately, scams remain rampant in the industry. Rugpulls, fake tokens, honeypots, undisclosed promotions, and insider manipulation, among others, continue to be common occurrences.
  5. Education - Contrary to what the mainstream media tells you, crypto is NOT a scam. Yes, there's malicious activity that takes place, but with good education, which is often lacking in the industry, a lot of people can be saved from falling victim to malicious actors while learning about the benefits of crypto.

The fomo app addresses all of these problems to cater to an audience that includes the crypto curious, crypto novices, and crypto natives.

fomo's intuitive mobile app interface offers the best user experience for crypto trading.

Built by a team of crypto veterans, it makes the process of discovery, navigation, onboarding, and execution as easy as shopping on Amazon.

Whether you're just starting your crypto journey or are an active crypto user, fomo addresses all the pitfalls of the crypto industry under one vertically integrated app to make your life easier.

  1. You no longer need to worry about lengthy onboarding processes through centralized exchanges. Your account can be set up within seconds, and the Apple Pay integration allows you to directly buy tokens through your credit cards
  2. You don't need to worry about managing seed phrases and private keys because your fomo accounts give you the benefits of self-custody without dealing with the technical complexities that come with being secure
  3. You don't have to deal with bridges because fomo gives you access to multiple chains through one account
  4. Finding coins has never been easier. fomo's social tracking allows you to see what all the top traders are buying directly on your social feed
  5. You may have heard the phrase DYOR (Do Your Own Research). Well, fomo consolidates all the important information about an asset on one page, making your research process trivially easy
  6. Using fomo also keeps you safer than the rest. Although users can buy all assets on fomo, the platform flags when a token is potentially malicious with warnings to protect users.
  7. fomo will also keep you ahead of the curve with daily summaries, newsletters, market updates, and consolidated thesis pieces revolving around all the important developments in the crypto industry

Essentially, we've made it our mission to make crypto safe and simple, so you never have to feel fomo again.
