About Axiom & How to Use These Guides
Axiom is a non-custodial, browser-based trading terminal built primarily for Solana memecoin traders, designed to fold token discovery, execution, and portfolio tracking into one screen. Signup takes an email, a Google account, or a Phantom wallet. Axiom creates a Turnkey-secured wallet for you with an exportable 12-word seed phrase, so traders can fund it with SOL at axiom.trade and start trading within minutes. The platform's flagship surface is Pulse, a discovery feed with New Pairs, Final Stretch, and Migrated to Raydium columns and 16 filters for age, holder concentration, liquidity, and more. Beyond spot, Axiom offers Hyperliquid-backed perpetuals with up to 50x leverage, MarginFi yield, and SOL staking. Founded by Henry Zhang and Preston Ellis and backed only by a $500,000 Y Combinator pre-seed round, Axiom has become the highest fee-generating trading terminal in its category.
What sets Axiom apart is speed and breadth on a single Solana-native surface. Pulse's Quick Buy and Instant Trade panel (with `Space`-plus-key hotkeys) are built for traders who need to act on a fresh pair in seconds, and Migration Actions add a dedicated sniper for Pump.fun-to-Raydium migrations. Read our trading features guide for the full mechanics. Axiom also supports up to 50x perpetual leverage, limit orders set by slider or by dragging price lines on the chart, wallet and X tracking, and a Bundle Checker that flags coordinated launches. There is no Axiom token yet, and the team has told reporters it has no plans to launch one, but a live points program tracks trades and referrals with a leaderboard.
This hub organizes every Axiom tutorial into seven categories. New users should start with the Getting Started section, which walks through signup, wallet setup, and placing a first trade on Pulse. The Trading Features category covers Pulse filters, migration sniping, limit orders, wallet and X tracking, and Hyperliquid perps. Fees & Savings explains the seven-tier cashback structure and how referral discounts stack on top of it. Terminal Comparisons provides data-driven analyses against competitors including Photon and GMGN. The Points & Token section covers the points program and the honest state of airdrop speculation. Security & Custody covers seed phrase export, MEV protection modes, and the February 2026 incident, while Troubleshooting addresses common failed-transaction and wallet-connection issues.
Each guide is written for a specific skill level and task. Browse the category cards below to jump directly to a topic, or scroll through the full article listing to find exactly what you need. All guides include step-by-step instructions and links to related articles so you can deepen your understanding without leaving the site.

Why Use Axiom?
Axiom bundles discovery, execution, tracking, and perps into one terminal, which is the main reason it has pulled ahead of the field on trading volume and fee revenue. Pulse surfaces new pairs and migrations before they hit general awareness, Quick Buy and hotkey-driven Instant Trade cut the time between seeing a token and holding it, and the built-in Bundle Checker and Trader Scan replace tools traders used to run separately. Perpetuals route through Hyperliquid for up to 50x leverage, and yield through MarginFi advertises up to 15% APY. Verify current terms in Axiom's official documentation before trading. The platform requires no KYC to trade, and wallets are non-custodial through Turnkey, with a seed phrase you can export to Phantom, Rabby, or Solflare at any time.
Who These Guides Are For
These guides are written for three audiences. New Solana traders coming from a centralized exchange will find the Getting Started walkthroughs cover every step from signup to placing a first trade on Pulse, no prior DeFi experience required. Experienced memecoin and perp traders migrating from Photon, BullX, or a Telegram bot will want the Trading Features and Comparison guides, which assume familiarity with sniping and order flow and focus on what is meaningfully different about Axiom: Pulse's filter set, the built-in migration sniper, and Hyperliquid-backed perps. Points-program followers should head to Points & Token, which covers how points accrue and gives the honest read on airdrop speculation: Axiom has confirmed no token and no airdrop. Every guide is updated as the product evolves. Axiom ships frequently, so always verify fee tiers, leverage caps, and program terms against the official docs before acting.
