What Is fomo.family? A Trader’s Guide to the Social Trading App

fomo.family is a social trading app for memecoins where traders follow each other, copy trades, and post theses. This is a short guide to what it is and how to access its data programmatically.

fomo.family, usually just called FOMO, is a social trading app built around memecoins. Instead of trading in isolation, users follow each other, copy trades, and post the reasoning behind their positions. The result is a feed where you can see not just what people are buying, but who they are and why they are buying it.

What makes it different

A normal exchange shows you a chart and an order book. FOMO adds the social layer on top:

  • Traders have profiles and track records. PnL is tied to a name, not an anonymous wallet.
  • Trades are public. You can see what the people you follow are buying and selling.
  • Theses. Traders write out why they took a trade, so the reasoning travels with the position.
  • Leaderboards. Traders are ranked by verified performance.

This turns trading into something closer to a feed. Holding a position longer earns followers and standing, which changes how people behave compared to a normal exchange.

The catch: no public API

FOMO does not ship a public API. All of that social data lives inside the app, which makes it hard to pull programmatically, whether you want to build a tool, track traders, or study the market.

That is where an independent data layer comes in. fomoapi.io exposes FOMO's social-trading data over a plain REST and JSON interface: resolve any trader to their real wallets, read verified PnL and leaderboards, pull theses, and stream trades in real time.
