The round

A round runs between two snapshots of fomo's leaderboard. The board is every trader in the latest snapshot, priced on their all-time record. When the next snapshot lands, every record has moved, and the difference is the score.

Who makes the board

fomo ranks its traders by all-time profit and loss, in dollars, across every chain the app trades on. That leaderboard is only visible logged in, so it reaches this site as screenshots, transcribed into a dated file. Every row in the latest capture is on the board. 0 are listed right now.

Names, handles and pictures come from fomo's public profile cards and from the Stonks Exchange republication of the top fifty, which also carries each trader's wallet.

Pricing

Every listed trader is ranked on their all-time record and the rank is mapped onto a salary from $5 to $40. The curve is steep at the top on purpose: the biggest record on the board costs eight times the smallest, so five favourites do not fit inside $100.

The record is everything a trader did before the round and nothing inside it, so the salary cannot have been informed by the result.

Scoring

A trader's score is their all-time PnL at settle minus their all-time PnL at lock. That is exactly what they made on fomo between the two captures, and it is fomo's own arithmetic. This site does not recompute it, model it, or adjust it.

A lineup's score is the sum of its five. A trader present in the latest capture but not the previous one is on the board and draftable, and their score lands with the next capture rather than being invented.

Integrity

• Both captures are published. Every snapshot is a dated file in the repository, so a score can be checked against the two rows it came from.
• The board is frozen at lock. Salaries and the list are fixed before entries open.
• The traders cannot be influenced. They are public figures trading their own money who have not been told they are on a board.
• Every figure is attributed. The page says where each number came from rather than presenting fomo's arithmetic as its own.

The pot

Entry is 0.001 ETH or 5 USDG, paid to the FomoFantasy contract on Robinhood Chain. ETH entries and USDG entries are two pools of the same round: same board, same scores, separate pots and separate rankings, because putting them in one pot would need a price for ETH.

Settlement

The contract does the ranking. After lock the keeper posts one score per trader, in US cents of the change in fomo's all-time PnL between the two captures. Both captures are published, so every score can be checked against the two rows it came from.

• The board is committed at open. Salaries go on chain in page order with a hash of the board file, and every entry is checked against them: five distinct traders, under the cap, or the transaction reverts.
• Anyone can finalize a pool. It walks every entry, sums its five scores and keeps the top three. Ties go to the earlier entry. The fee moves to the treasury.
• Winners claim. 50 / 30 / 20 of the pot after fee, renormalised when fewer than three entered.
• A round can be cancelled before settlement and every entry refunded in full.

What is still by hand

• Snapshots are screenshots of fomo's leaderboard, transcribed. A trader missing from the settling capture scores zero for the round, so the fuller the capture, the fairer the round.
• The keeper posts the scores. Its only lever is those numbers, and they are published alongside the captures. A challenge window before claims open is specified, not built.
• The traders did not sign up, being listed is not an endorsement in either direction, and none of it is advice.
