Axiom

The standard trading fee is 1% per trade. Every spot trade pays 1% to Axiom, on every supported chain, before cashback: the SOL rebate runs from 0.05% of trade value at the entry tier to 0.25% at the top, so the net fee is 0.95% to 0.75%, and a referral signup takes a further 10% off. Solana priority fees and bribes, or gas on the other chains, come on top. Perps on Hyperliquid pay 0.01% per transaction plus Hyperliquid's fee and funding. The Terms let fees change without notice and treat the quoted cost as an estimate.

Sometimes. You sign up with an email code, a Google account, or a Phantom wallet, set a password, and are shown a recovery phrase. No identity document is asked for, and the wallet keys are yours to export. Buying SOL by debit card or Apple Pay through Coinbase inside the app needs no KYC up to $500 a week, according to Axiom's FAQ, while the MoonPay route verifies identity under MoonPay's rules. The Terms, dated February 26, 2026, reserve the right to run KYC and anti-money-laundering checks at Axiom's discretion, naming passports, driving licences, and utility bills as examples, and the Privacy Policy says wallet addresses are screened for illicit activity.

The published restrictions do not name the US, but a country missing from the list is not confirmed eligible. The Terms, dated February 26, 2026, name no country. They bar anyone on a US, EU, or UK sanctions list, anyone located in, resident in, or organized in a jurisdiction under comprehensive sanctions or designated as terrorist-supporting by the UN, EU, UK, or US, and anyone under 18, and they let Axiom restrict any person or region at its discretion. Using a VPN to get around a restriction is a breach. The previous Terms, dated February 26, 2025, named the United States, China, Singapore, and sixteen other countries and regions. The current version carries no such list.

Perps run on Hyperliquid, so each market's maximum leverage is Hyperliquid's: a whole number up to a per-asset cap that tops out at 40x on BTC and steps down on large positions, under Hyperliquid's margin rules and hourly funding. Axiom's own perps page, last updated in April 2025, still says up to 50x, but the venue's current cap governs. Open positions show entry, mark, and liquidation prices and take-profit and stop-loss levels in Axiom's perps portfolio.

The Axiom wallet is created at signup, so funding it means sending SOL, or tokens on another supported chain, to the address the app shows. Inside the app, Buy opens Coinbase's checkout for a debit card or Apple Pay purchase of SOL, which Axiom's FAQ says needs no KYC up to $500 a week. Coinbase's own developer docs say its hosted guest checkout was discontinued on June 30, 2026, and Axiom's FAQ still shows the $500 figure. MoonPay has been a second route since October 2025, taking cards, bank transfers, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, and Venmo under MoonPay's identity checks. Perps collateral is separate: you convert SOL into USDC on Hyperliquid from the wallet menu, which takes about five minutes.

There is no withdrawal step. The Axiom wallet is yours, so leaving means sending SOL or tokens to any address and paying the network fee, or importing the recovery phrase into Phantom, Solflare, or Rabby, which Axiom's own signup guide recommends so you always have direct access. Axiom publishes no withdrawal fee of its own. Perps collateral comes back by converting USDC on Hyperliquid to USDC on Solana from the wallet menu, in about five minutes. The axiSOL staking pool charges 0.1% on withdrawals, and yield balances at Marginfi are advertised as instantly withdrawable.

Signing up through another user's link takes 10% off trading fees on every trade. The referrer earns 30% of Axiom's net fee on trades by the people they referred directly, 3% on the next level, and 2% on the level after that, on Solana, BNB Chain, and Ethereum trading, with some tokens excluded. Trading itself earns SOL cashback by tier and points toward a leaderboard. The Terms let Axiom change, pause, or withhold rewards before they are claimed. No ChainScouter code is active.

Axiom is a browser terminal at axiom.trade built for a desktop screen: a chart with the order box beside it, one-click and hotkey buys and sells, limit orders you can drag on the chart, the Pulse feed of new launches and migrations, a wallet tracker, an X account monitor, several wallets under one login, and a Perpetuals tab. You sign in with an email code, Google, or Phantom plus a password. The site ships a web manifest, so on a phone it installs to the home screen as an app. No native iOS or Android app is documented, and Axiom's site links to no app store listing. Support runs through a Discord ticket channel and the X account.

Your funds and your data are two different questions. Funds: the wallet is created through Turnkey, the keys are exportable, Axiom says it keeps no copy, and the losses we found reported by users came from screen-share scams and lookalike apps rather than from the platform. Data: until February 2026 Axiom's support staff could look up any user's wallets and history, the company confirmed that some had abused that access, and its Privacy Policy allows selling order flow and keeps transaction records for seven years. Axiom publishes no security audit or bug bounty, and the Terms cap its liability at $100. Trade from a wallet that holds only what you are trading, keep the recovery phrase offline, and treat everything you do on the platform as visible to the company.

Axiom Innovations Inc., the company named in the Terms, under California law with arbitration in Santa Clara County. Its founders are Henry Zhang, the CEO, and Preston Ellis, the CTO, who built the terminal in 2024 and took it through Y Combinator's Winter 2025 batch. The YC directory lists the company in Austin. Forbes reported that a $500,000 pre-seed was the only outside funding Axiom ever raised and that its trading fee carried it past $100 million in cumulative revenue faster than any company in YC's history. Support is a Discord ticket channel and an X account, and there is no phone number or office address on the site.

On February 26, 2026 the investigator ZachXBT, who said Axiom itself had retained him, published a thread naming a senior business-development employee who, he alleged, had used an internal dashboard since early 2025 to look up users' wallets, linked accounts, and transaction histories, and had shared them with a group that compiled prominent traders' private wallets in a spreadsheet to trade ahead of them. Several of the people named confirmed their wallet details were accurate. Axiom confirmed the misuse of its support tools the same day, removed access, and said it would hold those responsible to account. ZachXBT wrote that he could not pin down specific insider trades without Axiom's internal logs, so the trading remains an allegation. What is not in dispute is that the data was visible to staff with no access controls.

No token has been announced. Axiom runs a points program that its docs say may unlock future rewards, and the Terms say rewards can be paid as tokens, fee discounts, or other benefits, but nothing has been promised. Treat anything called an Axiom token on a launchpad or another chain as unconnected unless Axiom itself says otherwise.
