Know what youare playing
todo legal review. this page is a working draft. it is not legal advice and has not been reviewed by counsel.
the game is simulated, the stake is not
positions inside a match are simulated, so you cannot lose more than the stake you paid to enter, and the free mode costs nothing. leverage inside the game is real enough to end your match: at 10x, a 10% move against you is the whole margin. do not take a match as a guide to trading with your own money.
the rules are designed to take you out
the storm floor rises above the starting stack and eliminates everyone below it. copying the crowd costs up to 1.80% on entry. blackouts hide the field for up to 90 seconds with five seconds of warning. most players are eliminated in every match, by design.
off-chain results
rankings are computed by an off-chain engine and verified by replay. the engine can be down, slow or wrong. a challenge window exists to correct a bad root before claims open; after it closes, results are final.
third-party data
the gate, divisions, market selection and mirror prompts read a public fomo profile and public fomo activity. that service can be down, rate-limited, wrong or can change without notice. a verification may be queued. scores never depend on it, but access to a match can.
oracles and market hours
prices come from pyth. feeds can be delayed, stale or paused, and equity feeds follow market hours. a fill can wait for the next update, and weekend or overnight gaps can move prices sharply when markets reopen. every market stale for more than five minutes voids the match.
smart contracts and chain
the program is tested but not externally audited at launch. solana can halt or congest. transactions are irreversible and cost a fee in sol. the prize stablecoin can freeze addresses at the issuer's discretion; a frozen address can only block its own claim or refund.
wallets
you hold your own keys. we cannot recover a lost wallet, reverse a transaction or claim for you.
legal
prize competitions are regulated differently across jurisdictions. tokenized stocks are not offered to us persons and are restricted elsewhere; fomout only uses their prices. you are responsible for whether you may take part.
