Sparkling vs FOMO
Last checked 26 September 2026
In short
- Both are self-custodial trading apps with no seed phrase to get started, and both trade Hyperliquid perps.
- FOMO is built around a social feed: follow traders, see what they buy, and trade spot tokens across chains and perps, including equity, index and commodity perps.
- Sparkling is built around an agent that prepares every trade, and adds Polymarket prediction markets and tokenized stocks in the same account.
FOMO answers “what are good traders buying?”. Sparkling answers “what should this trade look like?”. Both keep your keys with you; they differ in where the idea comes from and who prepares the order.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Sparkling and FOMO?
FOMO is a social trading app: spot tokens and Hyperliquid perps, built around a feed of what other traders buy. Sparkling is built around an agent instead of a feed and includes Polymarket prediction markets and tokenized stocks in the same account.
Are FOMO and Sparkling self-custodial?
Yes, both. FOMO uses an embedded self-custodial wallet with exportable keys. In Sparkling only you can sign, Sparkling never holds your funds, and you can export your seed phrase at any time.
Which is better for perps?
Both route perps through Hyperliquid. FOMO adds equity, index and commodity perps through Trade[XYZ] and shows what people you follow are opening. Sparkling prepares each perp order with a suggested direction and leverage; you choose the size and confirm.
