What is Axiom, in one sentence?
In its own FAQ, Axiom calls itself a trading platform meant to be the only application you need to trade onchain, and a hybrid crypto trading app and wallet. In practice it is a website where you keep a wallet, find new tokens, and buy or sell them in one click, with charts and filters around them.
Is there an Axiom app for iPhone or Android?
Not one that Axiom's site points to. This guide's empty-browser test on 2 November 2026 saved Axiom's home page, and it held no link to the App Store or Google Play. Axiom's documents describe everything as happening on the Axiom website. The page is built as a web app, though: its code tells phones it can be added to the home screen, under the name Axiom.
How do I put Axiom on my phone's home screen?
Open axiom.trade in your phone's browser. On an iPhone, in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. On Android, in Chrome, open the menu and choose Add to Home screen or Install app. The icon opens the same website. If you are new, sign up in the browser first and add the icon after: a home-screen icon can keep its own storage, apart from the browser, so a referral code saved in the browser may not reach it.
What can you trade on Axiom?
Its FAQ says Axiom currently supports Solana, with more chains planned, and its referral page counts trades on Solana, BSC and Ethereum. Most of its tools are about new Solana tokens. The Perpetuals tab trades futures on Hyperliquid, with up to 50x leverage according to Axiom's deposit page.
Who is behind Axiom?
Axiom's documents say it is funded by Y Combinator, the startup accelerator, and link to its entry in Y Combinator's company list. Help runs through tickets on Axiom's Discord server, according to its support page.
Does Axiom hold my money?
Its FAQ says no: the wallets are non-custodial, with Turnkey as partner, and the assets stay in your control. You get a recovery phrase at sign-up. This guide has not audited any of it. Is Axiom safe? sets out what is known and what is not.
What does Axiom cost?
The trading fee starts at 1% of each trade, and Axiom's fee page brings it down to 0.75% at the top volume rank, with the difference paid back in SOL. A referral link takes 10% off the trading fee for new accounts. Solana network costs, such as priority fees, come on top. Every charge, with a calculator, is on the Axiom fees page of this guide's longer site.
Is Axiom good for beginners?
It is built for speed: lists of tokens that are minutes old, one-click buttons and hotkeys. Its own filters for insiders, snipers and bundles show how rough this market can be. If you are new, read the risks first, start with a small amount you could lose, and learn the settings before you trade.
The main tools, in plain words
Axiom's documents describe these tools. This guide has not used them on a live account.
| Tool | What it does, in Axiom's documents |
|---|---|
| Pulse | Lists brand-new pump.fun tokens, tokens close to finishing their bonding curve, and tokens that just moved to Raydium. Filters cover age, top holders, developer share, snipers, insiders, bundles, liquidity and volume. |
| Instant Trade | A pop-up beside the chart with one-click buy and sell buttons, plus optional hotkeys. |
| Limit orders | Buy or sell only when the price reaches a level you set. |
| Migration actions | Buy or sell the moment a token moves from pump.fun to Raydium. |
| Wallet tracker | Follow wallets you choose and see their buys live on the chart. |
| Tweet Monitor | A live feed of crypto accounts on X, free once you have traded 5 SOL in volume. |
| Trader Scan | For one token: each wallet's buys, sells, balance, profit and how long it has held. |
| Bundle checker | Flags four or more buys in the same block as a possible bundle. Axiom says no method catches every case. |
| Perpetuals | Go long or short with leverage on Hyperliquid, paid in USDC. |
| Portfolio | Separate profit and loss for spot trades and for perpetuals. |
| Staking | Stake SOL to Axiom's own validator, or get axiSOL from its stake pool. |
| Buy crypto | Buy SOL with Coinbase inside Axiom, up to $500 a week without KYC. |

What a first session looks like
Put together from Axiom's sign-up, fee and trading pages, in the order you would meet them.
- Sign up with email, Google or Phantom. With email you confirm a one-time code, then set a password.
- Write down the recovery phrase Axiom shows you, offline. It is the key to your wallets.
- Add money: send SOL to the wallet address Axiom shows, or buy SOL through Coinbase inside Axiom.
- Open the Solana fee settings. Axiom recommends its Secure MEV mode where it can be used, and low slippage.
- Find a token in Pulse or by search, and look at its holders and filters before you buy.
- Buy with a market order, a limit order or the instant-trade buttons. The fee line shows what you pay.
- Sell the same way. The portfolio page shows your profit and loss.
The referral code only matters at the first step. After that, nothing about trading changes except the fee.
What Axiom is not
Axiom's FAQ describes it as decentralized: it connects to onchain protocols, and your funds stay onchain under your keys. So it is not an exchange account that holds coins for you, and onchain trades generally cannot be reversed. Pulse lists tokens within minutes of their creation, which means nobody has checked them for you. Axiom gives you filters; the judgement stays with you.
Points, cashback and other rewards
Axiom runs reward schemes of its own, separate from any code. Its fee page pays part of each trading fee back in SOL, from 0.05% at the Wood rank to 0.25% at Champion. Its point system gives points for trades and referrals, which Axiom says count toward your overall score and possible future rewards; it does not say what they will be worth. Its staking page offers staking to Axiom's own validator at 0% commission, or axiSOL from a stake pool that keeps 5% of earnings.
Axiom's pages do not tie any of these to a referral code.
Where Axiom's own pages are thin
Axiom's documents cover the basics, but some gaps matter when you are deciding. They do not say how much trading volume each cashback rank needs, or how the 10% referral discount and the rank cashback combine. The perpetuals page gives Axiom's own 0.01% but not Hyperliquid's fees. Several pages, including the FAQ, the fee page and the sign-up guide, showed "last updated 1 year ago" when this guide read them on 2 November 2026, so the product may have moved on since.
Where the pages are silent, this guide says so rather than filling the gap. The fee line on a real trade and the settings screen are the final word.
If you decide to join
Use a referral link once, at sign-up. Open https://axiom.trade/@join10 on the phone or computer you will sign up on, click Sign up, and the email form's Invite code (optional) box shows join10. Finish within about an hour, in the same browser. More on how the referral link works, and on what to check first.
