by cookedaxiom fees: what a round trip costs
Axiom's platform fee starts at 1% of the trade. Signing up through a referral link takes 10% off it.
That 1% is Axiom's starting platform fee. It is not Solana gas and it is not the pool's price impact. Priority fee is separate and you set it yourself. A round trip on a $1,000 position, buy and sell, is about $20 in platform fees before any discount, plus gas, plus whatever the pool took in slippage.

the number, written out
| On a $1,000 fill | No referral | Referral attached |
|---|---|---|
| Platform fee (1% start) | $10.00 | $9.00 |
| What you keep | n/a | $1.00 |
The 10% discount comes off the 1% start, so the fee on that fill drops from $10.00 to $9.00.
the 1% is not the last word
Axiom also pays cashback in SOL out of its own trading fee, and it states the resulting net rate per tier: 0.95% at the lowest tier with 0.05% back, up to 0.75% with 0.25% back at the top. So Axiom's own floor is 0.95%, not 1%, and the table above is the number before that rebate.
Axiom doesn't say how cashback and the referral discount combine. The fee tier table has the full ladder.
what a referral doesn't change
- Your priority fee, your Jito tip or the pool's price impact. It only cuts Axiom's fee.
- Anything on Photon or Hyperliquid. Those have their own codes.

Place a small trade and read the fee line on the confirmation. Cashback tiers also move the rate, so if it looks off, the code-attached page has the check.

Signing up through this link takes 10% off your Axiom trading fees, which signing up without one does not. We get a commission from Axiom, which helps support our work, at no extra cost to you. We might add tools for people who used our code.
Tapping the button puts apebrief on your clipboard and opens Axiom. Where the signup shows a code field, paste it there.
People also ask
Axiom referral code, which one is real?
The official program is a 10% fee cut for you, attached at signup through a link. Pages that print a bigger discount are not citing Axiom docs.
the full answerDid the Axiom code attach?
Axiom attaches a referral when you sign up through a referral link, and offers no documented way to add one later or confirm it on screen.
the full answerWhat does Axiom actually charge?
Platform fee starts at 1% of the fill, plus priority you set, plus impact. A referral is a fee cut on the account if the field shows the code. Gas is separate.
Where is deposit on Axiom?
Click the labelled Deposit button in the top bar, not an arrow. It opens a panel titled Exchange, and its Deposit tab shows the address of the wallet Axiom generated for your account. Send SOL there, on Solana. Your old wallet's balance is not your Axiom balance.
