Fomo's Referral Program: The 25%, the 10%, and How DEAL Splits It
Fomo's referral program has two sides. The new user gets 10% off trading fees, so 0.45% a trade instead of 0.50%. The owner of the code they joined with earns 25% of their trading fees, on every trade, paid out of the fee the new user already pays. Code DEAL passes half of that 25% back to the people who join with it: 12.5% of their Fomo fees, in USDC. Open fomo.family/r/deal before you sign up to use it.
Who gets what
| What they get | Paid by | |
|---|---|---|
| New user who joins with a code | 10% off Fomo's trading fees (0.45% instead of 0.50%) | Fomo |
| Owner of the code | 25% of the new user's trading fees | Fomo, out of the fee the new user pays |
| New user who joins with DEAL | Also 12.5% of their Fomo fees back, in USDC | The DEAL code owner, out of their 25% |
The new user pays nothing extra for any of this: the code owner's share comes out of Fomo's own fee.
Every user has a code
Your referral code is your Fomo username. Find it in your profile under the gift icon; your link is fomo.family/r/ followed by your username. That's why so many Fomo "codes" exist, and why every real one gives a new user the same 10%. A big number in a code's name doesn't change it.
How code owners are paid
- Earnings are 25% of the referred user's trading fees, on Solana and on the EVM networks Fomo's help center lists (Base, BNB Chain, Monad, Ethereum, Robinhood Chain).
- They go straight into the code owner's cash balance; there's nothing to claim.
- Solana earnings arrive inside the referred user's own trade. EVM earnings build up and are collected when the code owner opens Fomo, at most once every 12 hours.
- The figure on the rewards screen is lifetime earnings, not the current balance.
Publishers and creators who want higher rates and an affiliate manager can apply to Fomo's separate affiliate and creator program at fomo.family/affiliates.
The rules that matter for new users
- A code only counts on the sign-up screen. There's no field to add one later.
- If you signed up through someone's link and no referrer was recorded, Fomo support can attach that code (Profile, Settings, Help and Support, Contact Support).
- A referrer that's already recorded can't be removed or changed.
- Fomo doesn't allow self-referral: you can't open a second account with your own code.
A worked example with DEAL
A new user who joined with DEAL trades $10,000 on Solana in a month.
| Amount | |
|---|---|
| Fomo's fee at the standard 0.50% | $50.00 |
| Fomo's fee with a referral code (0.45%) | $45.00 |
| Referral share Fomo pays the DEAL code owner (25%) | $11.25 |
| Cashback the DEAL code owner sends the user (12.5% of fees) | about $5.63 |
| What the user pays after cashback | about $39.38 |
So the user pays about 21% less than the standard fee: 10% from Fomo, the rest from DEAL's cashback. Terms and timing: cashback with DEAL.
