Axiom Trade, explained properly
Axiom is a web-based trading terminal and self-custody wallet for Solana memecoins, with Hyperliquid perpetuals, staking and yield bolted on. This site covers what it costs, how every feature works, where it goes wrong, and how it compares with Photon, BullX, GMGN and Trojan. Nothing here is written by Axiom.
New accounts created through referral code THANKS get Axiom's documented 10% trading-fee discount. We may earn a commission.

Fix itWhat this site is
axiomtrade.exchange is an independent publication about one product: the Axiom terminal at axiom.trade. We are not Axiom, and we are not affiliated with Y Combinator, Turnkey, Hyperliquid, Marginfi, Coinbase or TradingView. Every factual claim about fees, limits and features is taken from Axiom's public documentation and dated on the page it appears on. Where we rely on third-party reporting, we say so and link to it.
The site is funded by Axiom's referral program. If you create an account through our link, Axiom pays us a share of its net fee on your trades and gives you a 10% discount on those fees. That relationship is disclosed on every page and explained in full in the affiliate disclosure. It does not change what we write: the review and safety guide cover the parts of Axiom that are not flattering.
Short answers to common questions live in the FAQ. Unfamiliar terms, from bonding curves to Jito tips, are defined in the glossary.
