Start here: the FOMO app
FOMO is a free app where you can buy these coins like you would shop in any app. There is nothing to set up first.
- No "gas" to worry about. Gas is the small network fee crypto normally charges, and you would usually have to buy a second coin just to pay it. FOMO handles that for you.
- Add money your way: deposit crypto straight from a wallet or exchange ("onchain"), or use Apple Pay or a card. Depositing crypto is the easy one if you already hold some.
- You sign in with your email or Apple ID. No scary list of secret words to start.
Buying a coin on FOMO
- Install FOMO with this link and sign in.
- Add money: tap Deposit, pick your coin and the network, and send it to the deposit address FOMO shows you (or use Apple Pay).
- Tap search, then paste the address from a coin card below (use "Copy address"). Check the name and the address match.
- Type an amount, and confirm.
Sending crypto in: copy the address from FOMO (never from a message or DM), send the same coin on the same network FOMO names, and try a small amount first. Money sent to the wrong network can be lost for good. Good to know: FOMO may take its own small fee, so look at the amount on the confirm screen. Your coins are yours: if you lose your login, nobody can recover them, so keep your sign-in safe. UTYA lives on a chain FOMO may not offer, and some coins may not show up in search. If a coin is missing, use the wallet steps further down instead.
Or: use your own wallet
Each coin says which chain it lives on. That decides the wallet.
Solana coins
- Get Phantom, a free wallet app (App Store or Google Play), or use the Solana wallet you already have.
- Put SOL in it: tap "Buy" in Phantom, or send SOL from your exchange to your Phantom address.
- Tap "Buy on Jupiter" on the coin. Connect wallet, type an amount of SOL, Swap, approve.
TON coins
- Get Tonkeeper (free app), or use Wallet inside Telegram.
- Put TON in it: buy inside the wallet, or send TON from your exchange.
- Tap "Buy on STON.fi" on the coin. Connect wallet, type an amount of TON, Swap, approve.
Ethereum coins
- Use MetaMask or Trust Wallet (free apps), set to Ethereum.
- Put ETH in it (it also pays the network fee).
- Tap "Buy on Uniswap" on the coin. Connect wallet, type an amount of ETH, Swap, approve.
BNB Chain coins
- Get Trust Wallet or MetaMask (free apps), set to BNB Chain.
- Put BNB in it: buy inside the wallet, or send BNB from your exchange (pick the "BEP20 / BSC" network when sending).
- Tap "Buy on PancakeSwap" on the coin. Connect wallet, type an amount of BNB, Swap, approve.
Always check the address in the swap screen matches the one on the card. Ignore anyone who DMs you a "better" link.
Don't forget ETH
Dwad's note: Of course ETH (Ethereum) is still a good coin. He thinks it could possibly do a 3x to 5x or more from here.
That is Dwad's opinion, not a promise. Nobody knows where a price goes. ETH is the second biggest crypto and far less wild than the coins above, which is why it is the steadier pick. Easiest way to buy it: an exchange like Coinbase or Binance, or inside FOMO.
What the risk labels mean
Low big, established coin. Med real project, still swings hard. High young or meme coin, can halve or double fast. Degen lottery ticket, only money you would be fine losing.
Labels describe the coin's data, not how much to buy. Crypto can go to zero.
