The Independent Guide to
Axiom Trade
Axiompedia is a reader's guide to Axiom Trade. It is not the official app, and it is not affiliated with or endorsed by Axiom. What it documents is how the Solana terminal works: Pulse for token discovery, one-click spot swaps, migration sniping, and the Hyperliquid perpetuals you can reach from it. Fees and figures here are checked against Axiom's own documentation. Axiom's docs say a user who signs up through a referral link gets a 10% discount on trading fees.

What Is Axiom Trade?
Axiom is a browser-based, non-custodial trading terminal used mainly by Solana memecoin traders. It is not a decentralized exchange in its own right. Axiom's documentation lists 
Pump.fun, 
PumpSwap, 
Raydium, 
Meteora, and 
Orca among the Solana venues its spot swaps route across, and perpetuals are Hyperliquid's product, reached through Axiom via builder codes. 
Y Combinator's public company page lists Axiom in the Winter 2025 batch, founded in 2024, with Henry Zhang and Preston Ellis as founders. Axiom does not publish its funding history, so this site carries no raise figure.
Where Axiom stands out is volume and breadth. On 
DefiLlama's Axiom fee page, read August 14, 2026, Axiom recorded $27.2 million in fees over the trailing 30 days and $736.7 million since launch, which works out to roughly 39% of the combined Trading App and Telegram Bot fee categories, with GMGN close behind at about 36%. That is fee revenue rather than routed volume; DefiLlama tracks those as separate measures and both move daily. It combines token discovery through Pulse, spot swaps, limit orders, migration sniping, wallet and X tracking, and Hyperliquid perpetuals up to 50x leverage, plus 
MarginFi yield that Axiom advertises at up to 15% APY, and axiSOL staking. Users keep custody of their own funds through 
Turnkey infrastructure, with an exportable 12-word seed phrase available from settings at any time.
Axiompedia is an independent reference and is not the official app. We explain how to create an account and fund your wallet, how non-custodial security and MEV protection work, how the points program lines up against the absence of any announced token or airdrop as of August 2026, what Axiom actually charges after cashback, and how it stacks up against Photon, GMGN, and other terminals, all verified against Axiom's official documentation and DefiLlama's on-chain fee data.
SAVE ON EVERY TRADE
Start With a Fee Discount
Per Axiom's official fee documentation, read August 2026, the base fee is 1% gross with SOL cashback reaching 0.75% net at the top tier. Axiom's referral documentation says a user who signs up through a referral link receives a 10% discount on trading fees, applied automatically. How that discount interacts with the cashback table numerically is not documented. As a referrer we earn a three-level share of the fees you generate, which the same documentation puts at 30% direct, then 3% and 2% further down the chain, at no extra cost to you. You also start earning points from your first trade.

HOW IT STACKS UP
How Does Axiom Compare to Photon and GMGN?
Axiom holds the largest single share of fee revenue in the category and carries a wide feature set, including the 
Hyperliquid perps you can reach from it. 
Photon was the original web terminal and now records under 1% of category fees on the same read; 
GMGN counters with broader chain coverage and stronger analytics. The table below breaks down the differences.
| Axiom | Photon | GMGN | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type | Trading terminal (not a DEX) | Trading terminal | Terminal + analytics |
| Base spot fee | 1%, down to 0.75% net | 1%, ~0.9% w/ referral | 1%, 0.70-0.90% w/ referral |
| 30d fee share (category) | ~39% | Under 1% | ~36% |
| Perpetuals | Hyperliquid perps, up to 50x | No | No |
| Chains | Solana (primary), BSC | Solana | 7 chains incl. ETH, Base, BSC |
| Custody | Non-custodial (Turnkey) | Non-custodial | Non-custodial |
| Token / incentive | Points program, no token | None | None |
Fee share is each platform's trailing-30-day fees as a percentage of DefiLlama's combined Trading App and Telegram Bot categories, read from the DefiLlama fee data on August 14, 2026. Rates come from each platform's own published fee documentation. Both move.
