Excited to share I’ve joined @fomo to work on community and socials
I’ve been trading for nearly a decade (unc), and fomo has become a product I've enjoyed using every day
Grateful to be joining an incredibly talented, high-integrity team to build the social graph of finance
team has been cooking on this behind the scenes.
our internal router launched beginning of september and quickly proved itself.
now, combining both the bridge + routing layers allows us to deliver the best possible execution to users.
when first trading on fomo over a year ago it felt almost unreal buying from one chain to another, even if it took a few seconds.
it was just so simple.
today the magic returns with fomo’s own internal router being the FASTEST in market.
with 10x+ more transactions today than any other app, these improvements are massive for the entire industry.
fomo.
been shaving off ms and bps last couple days

It's been productive so far. might do a long form post about the engineering behind this! i believe this is the fastest way to move money and trade across chains in production so far.
fomo has the fastest cross chain transactions of any trading app and it's not even close
This has been live in stealth for a week now and we were slowly rolling it out for the safety of our users
Today it is available to everyone
Find the fastest and cheapest fills on fomo
Speed is easy when there’s no traffic. Performance matters most during the busiest times.
During Robinhood Chain’s peak level of activity, @fomo dominated more than 50% of all trading wallets. This period came with a lot of lessons, as we scaled to an ATH of users trading crosschain.
The biggest learning that we found through this period was that when trading volatile assets, only two things matter: latency and execution
Now, fomo owns both the bridging and the routing.
Introducing the fastest crosschain swaps on the market. Crosschain transactions on @fomo now land in <1s.
A week ago, we rolled out our own internal bridge to a small % of users.
Public rollout of fomo bridge begins now.
I have no idea how the @fomo creator program works but I have made $60k off rewards since I started using the app
$2.3k from referrals
$57.6k from creator rewards (which is basically just me using the app and dropping my thoughts on coins I buy)
good tek
This might be the most bearish development for gold I’ve ever seen.
Marathon Fusion is proposing to turn mercury into actual, stable gold using nuclear fusion, potentially producing 5 tonnes of gold annually per GW of electricity generation.
Not gold-like material. Actual gold.
It’s still theoretical, but if this becomes commercially scalable, the implications for gold’s long-term scarcity could be enormous.
We’re literally talking about turning mercury into gold as a byproduct of generating electricity.
WTF.
some traders have mentioned they are being offered large piles of cash to leave fomo & trade on another app for 3 months.
our response is and always will be that we will never pay anyone to trade on our app.
the entire fomo network has been built organically. we feel that the only way we can build a long term social platform for finance is for it to be organic.
every social platform allows for better experiences as a user grows. we must allow for the same and do things that scale the social graph.
i.e. attribution, monetization, etc. are problems we MUST solve in order to achieve this goal.
we have lots of exciting things to launch that will allow top users grow with the platform as they bring balue.
on the flip side, we’re also grateful to have helped build a social network where the top users can command such high markets. there are some ppl i speak to where i suggest taking the deal if its something thatll help their life. i am never someone to get in the way of someone and their business.
the value of todays top users on fomo is already so high, and we only expect that to grow. traders are the next celebrities and they will be the biggest celebrities among the current & future generations to come. we hope fomo can steward in that future.
today, people use fomo because it is the best product and because we treat people with respect and transparency. those are the only two things that matter to us.
with scale comes problems to solve. we are committed to making this the best trading product in the world. every waking hour is spent towards working to this goal (including this one).
as always, my dm’s are always open for feedback, issues, and ideas.
MAYBE I WAS WRONG ABOUT BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY
I wrote about how I always used to make fun of the guys who said things like "Bitcoin is speculative, but the underlying blockchain technology is interesting." And now I think maybe they kinda had a point.
@josephfkrause@RadicalAI Anytime someone DMs you or your leadership team something that should be in a public channel, reply asking them to send in public channel.
Our focus is the long term viability of fomo. That starts with the decisions we make now to create a solid foundation
A foundation where users feel confident that the investment they make now, to build a personal brand and an identity, won't collapse beneath them
