Axiom Trade FAQ
Quick answers, each with a link to the page that goes deeper. Facts come from Axiom's documentation as read on the date above.
Basics
What is Axiom Trade?
A browser-based trading terminal and self-custody wallet for Solana tokens, with Hyperliquid perpetuals, staking and yield built in. It is made by Axiom, a Y Combinator W25 company. See what is Axiom?.
Is Axiom Trade the official name?
The product is called Axiom. "Axiom Trade" comes from the domain axiom.trade and "Axiom Exchange" from its X handle. They are the same thing.
Which chains does Axiom support?
Axiom's FAQ says Solana, with more chains planned. Its referral and reward pages also count trades on BSC and Ethereum. Check the live app for what you can trade today.
Is there an Axiom token?
Not according to Axiom's docs as of November 2026. Tokens using the name were created by unrelated people. See points and rewards.
Who owns Axiom?
Axiom is a venture-backed startup. Y Combinator lists founders Henry Zhang and Preston Ellis and a base in Austin, Texas.
Fees and discounts
What are Axiom's fees?
1% on spot buys and sells, reduced by SOL cashback to between 0.95% and 0.75% depending on your tier. Perps cost 0.01% to Axiom plus Hyperliquid fees. Solana network fees are extra. See fees explained.
What does the referral code do?
An account created through a referral link gets 10% off trading fees. Our code is THANKS. See referral code.
Can I add a referral code later?
Axiom documents no way to do that. The referral must be attached when the account is created.
What is the bribe fee?
A tip paid to block builders so your transaction is included quickly, defaulting to 0.001 SOL. It goes to the network, not Axiom. See settings.
Is Axiom cheaper than Photon or BullX?
All three start at 1%. Axiom's cashback tiers and referral discount can take its net rate lower. See comparisons.
Accounts and access
Do I need KYC to use Axiom?
No identity check is required for normal use. The Coinbase on-ramp is documented at up to $500 a week without KYC.
Which countries can use Axiom?
Axiom publishes no list in its docs. Its terms of use may restrict some countries. Read the terms on axiom.trade before depositing.
Is there an Axiom app?
Axiom documents no native iOS or Android app. Use axiom.trade in a mobile browser and add it to your home screen. See Axiom on mobile.
How do I log in to Axiom?
Only at axiom.trade, with the email, Google account or Phantom wallet you registered with. Never enter a recovery phrase to log in. See login problems.
I lost my password. What now?
Use the recovery options for the method you signed up with. Your funds are recoverable from the seed phrase in any Solana wallet, independent of the Axiom login.
Trading
What is Pulse?
Axiom's live feed of new tokens in three columns: New Pairs, Final Stretch and Migrated, with 14 filters and a Quick Buy button. See Pulse.
Why did my transaction fail?
Usually slippage set too low for a volatile token, a priority fee too low for a busy network, or not enough SOL left to pay fees. See transaction failed.
What MEV mode should I use?
Axiom recommends Secure. Reduced is faster with some exposure; Off has no protection. See MEV protection.
Does Axiom have a sniper bot?
Yes, built in. Migration Actions can buy or sell automatically the moment a token migrates. See migration sniper.
Can I set limit orders?
Yes, from the trading panel slider or by dragging a price line on the chart. See limit orders.
How much leverage do perps offer?
Up to 50x on Hyperliquid, margined in USDC. See perps.
Money in and out
How do I deposit?
Send SOL to your Axiom wallet address, or buy through the Coinbase button. See deposit.
How do I withdraw?
Send SOL or USDC from your Axiom wallet to any Solana address, such as an exchange or Phantom. See withdraw.
Why is my withdrawal pending?
Check the transaction on Solscan. If it is confirmed, the delay is at the receiving end. If it failed, you probably lacked SOL for fees. See withdrawal pending.
Why can't I convert USDC to SOL?
Most often the wallet has no SOL to pay the network fee, or the USDC is on Hyperliquid rather than Solana. See convert SOL and USDC.
Rewards and support
What are Axiom points?
A score earned from your trades and your referrals' trades, shown on a leaderboard. Axiom mentions "potential future rewards" without specifying them.
Will there be an Axiom airdrop?
Nothing in Axiom's documentation confirms one. Treat any "claim" site as a scam.
How does the referral program pay?
30% of Axiom's net fee on direct referrals' trades, 3% on the next level and 2% on the one after, with no stated cap. See referral program.
How do I contact Axiom support?
Through a ticket in Axiom's official Discord. Ignore anyone who messages you first. See contact support.
Is Axiom safe?
The custody model is sound and no platform theft has been reported, but the market is risky and the company faced insider-access allegations in 2026. See is Axiom safe?.
