Traders you can copy
The people you copy are called creators, and they come from Fomo , a social trading app with public leaderboards. Verus does not simply relay that. It runs its own indexing pipeline over those leaderboards, verifies on chain which Solana wallet each creator trades from, and copies the trades made by that verified wallet. See What Verus builds on top.
Verus verifies which wallet a creator trades from. It does not vet, endorse or rank the creator. The ranking is Fomo’s, reproduced. Following someone is a standing instruction to spend your money the way they spend theirs, and nothing on this page is advice.
The board
The Top creators board is where you browse. You can rank it over 24H, 7D, 30D or All, and it shows up to 60 creators. Seven days is the default.
Each row shows the creator’s rank, handle, the realized profit and loss that ranked them for the window you selected, and their trade count and volume.
The board is a snapshot of an index, not a live feed, and it tells you how old it is at the bottom: Board as of …. Treat a stale board as stale.
What the numbers mean, precisely
These are Fomo’s numbers, reproduced as published. Verus does not compute, audit or verify them, and does not warrant that they are accurate. The app labels them As Fomo reports it for this reason.
| Figure | What it actually is |
|---|---|
| PnL | Realized profit and loss for the window you selected. This is the figure the ranking is based on. |
| Volume | Lifetime traded volume, not the window’s. The app labels it Volume all time. |
| Trades | Lifetime trade count, not the window’s. Labelled Trades all time. |
| Followers | Their follower count on Fomo. Lifetime, and nothing to do with how many people copy them on Verus. |
Only PnL is scoped to the window you picked. Ranking by a window and then reading a lifetime figure beside it is an easy mistake to make, which is why the labels say all time explicitly.
Where Fomo published nothing, the app shows Not published. It never shows zero, because a missing number and a zero are different claims.
There is no win rate for a creator. The win rate you see in your own Stats tab is yours, not theirs.
Their numbers versus yours
A creator’s profile shows two blocks, and the separation is deliberate. Their trading is Fomo’s report of what they did. Your results is what copying them actually did for you: your realized and unrealized profit and loss, and how many of their trades were mirrored, skipped and failed.
Only the second block is a fact Verus measured.
Finding a creator
You can browse the board or search by @handle. There is no way to paste an arbitrary wallet address: copying is limited to creators in the index.
If a handle is not in the index you will be told so, and your request is recorded. There is nothing to retry: retyping it will not change the answer.
Handles change. The board records a stable identity for each creator, so a creator you follow stays the same person even if their handle changes, but a handle you remember may not find them.
What Verus builds on top
Being ranked on Fomo is public. Knowing which Solana wallet a creator actually trades from is not, and that is what copying requires.
Verus runs its own indexing pipeline for this:
- Our own index of the boards. Rankings are captured into Verus’s database rather than fetched from Fomo when you load the page. That is why the board carries an “as of” time, and why it stays readable when the source does not answer.
- A verified trading wallet. Verus establishes and verifies each creator’s trading wallet on chain before anyone can copy them, and copying runs from that verified wallet.
This is why a creator can be listed on the board and still not be copyable yet. Being ranked is public; verifying their trading wallet is work, and it does not always succeed.
From a follow to a copied trade
Following a creator is free and takes effect immediately: Verus starts watching them straight away, funded or not. Nothing is bought until your copy wallet has SOL in it.
There is one intermediate state worth understanding. Until the resolution described above has bound a wallet to that creator, the follow sits as Unresolved:
Fomo knows this trader but no verified wallet yet. Copying starts automatically once it resolves.
An unresolved follow mirrors nothing. It is not broken, and there is nothing for you to do, but it is also not a queue with a deadline: verifying a creator’s trading wallet may take a while and may never succeed. Follow other creators in the meantime.
What the board does not tell you
This section exists because the board looks more authoritative than it is.
- Ranking is not quality. A high rank means Fomo’s numbers put them high for that window. It does not mean they are skilled, consistent, or trading with their own money. A brand new account with a single lucky trade can rank highly.
- Impersonation happens. Handles that imitate well-known traders do appear. A creator can be removed from the board, but nothing detects impersonation automatically, so check who you are actually copying before you follow them.
- A profitable Fomo creator may generate nothing to copy. Fomo is a multi-chain app, and a great deal of activity there is not a Solana trade at all. Verus copies Solana trades. A creator can be at the top of the board and produce no mirrorable trades for weeks. Ranking by volume in particular tends to select creators whose activity is least mirrorable.
- Only one wallet per creator is copied. If a creator also trades from another wallet, those trades are not copied.
- Past performance is not a forecast, and a creator’s numbers include none of the costs you will pay. See Fees and P&L.
The honest summary: the board is a discovery tool, not a recommendation engine. Look at Your results for a creator you already follow before deciding they work for you, and size accordingly until you have that evidence.
