Solana trading terminal fees
Axiom, Trojan, GMGN and Photon all charge 1% of each buy and each sell. A referral link cuts that to about 0.9% on the first three, which saves $100 for every $100,000 you trade. Pump.fun's own app charges 0.45%, or 0.40% with a referral code.

Monthly cost by terminal
Fees checked November 2026 · how we checkSome links in this table are referral links. Signing up through them gives you the discount shown, and solmath may receive part of the platform's fee at no cost to you. Always confirm the fee on your first order preview before trading.
What the platform fee does not include
Every Solana transaction also pays a network fee of 5,000 lamports per signature, plus the priority fee or Jito tip you set. On busy launches, priority fees can cost more than the platform fee on small trades. Protocol fees are charged on top as well: Pump.fun's bonding curve takes 1.25% of every trade, whichever app or terminal you use.
Questions
Is the 1% fee charged on both buys and sells?
Yes. Each executed buy and each executed sell pays the platform fee, so a full round trip costs about 2%, or 1.8% with a referral discount.
Can I add a referral code after I have signed up?
Usually not. Most terminals attach the referral at account creation, so the discount only applies if you sign up through the link.
Which terminal is cheapest?
Pump.fun's own app has the lowest platform fee, 0.45%, but it is a launchpad app and not a full trading terminal. Among the terminals the base rate is the same. Axiom lowers its net fee with trading volume, down to 0.75% at the top tier, and Trojan pays cashback through its Arena program, so heavy traders can pay less on those two.
