Axiom Trade Fees
Axiom's pricing fits in one line: 1% of every trade, less whatever you earn back. The detail is in how much comes back, which depends on your volume tier, and in the network fees that sit outside Axiom's cut. Here is the whole picture, with the numbers from Axiom's documentation. Code TradeNow brings the base down to 0.8% before any of it.
Trade for Less (20% Off)
Axiom Trade Invite Code: TradeNow
The Axiom Trade invite code is TradeNow. Axiom calls it a referral code. Enter it when you sign up and your trading fee drops by 20% for the life of the account, from 1% to 0.8% a trade.
If you are looking for an Axiom Trade invite code, use TradeNow. Type it into the referral field on the sign-up screen, or open axiom.trade/@tradenow and it is filled in for you. It is one of the most used Axiom codes, and it still works.
Axiom Fees and PnL
How much does Axiom charge?
Axiom charges 1% of each spot trade, buy or sell, and code TradeNow cuts that to 0.8% for the life of the account. On top, Axiom pays cashback in SOL worth 5% of your fees for every level of multiplier, from 5% at Wood to 25% at Champion, so the net fee at the top tier is 0.75% without the code and about 0.6% with it.
Network fees are separate and go to the chain, not to Axiom. There is no subscription and no fee to deposit or withdraw beyond gas.
| Spot trading fee | 1% per trade |
|---|---|
| With code TradeNow | 0.8% per trade |
| Cashback | 5% of fees per multiplier level, in SOL |
| Top tier, net | 0.75%, or about 0.6% with TradeNow |
| Perpetuals | 0.01% on top of Hyperliquid's fee |
| Network fees | Paid to the chain, not to Axiom |
| Subscription | None |
Cashback Tiers
Your multiplier rises with the total volume you trade on Axiom, and every step adds 5% of your fees back as SOL. These are the seven tiers on Axiom's fee page, with the net fee each one leaves:
| Tier | Cashback | Net | With code |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wood (1X) | 0.05% | 0.95% | 0.76% |
| Bronze (2X) | 0.10% | 0.90% | 0.72% |
| Silver (2.5X) | 0.125% | 0.875% | 0.70% |
| Gold (3X) | 0.15% | 0.85% | 0.68% |
| Platinum (3.5X) | 0.175% | 0.825% | 0.66% |
| Diamond (4X) | 0.20% | 0.80% | 0.64% |
| Champion (5X) | 0.25% | 0.75% | 0.60% |
Cashback comes on top of the referral discount rather than replacing it, so a Champion trader who signed up with TradeNow pays roughly 0.6% net on each trade.
What Code TradeNow Changes
The discount applies to the 1% itself, so every buy and every sell costs a fifth less, and cashback is then worked out on the smaller fee. It is attached when the account is created and cannot be added later; the referral code page runs the savings at several monthly volumes.
Network Fees
On Solana, each transaction pays a small base fee plus what you add to get it landed: a priority fee for validators and a bribe on top, 0.001 SOL apiece until you change them. MEV protection runs on the bribe, and the hand-and-coin icon shows the least it currently takes. The settings page covers when to pay more.
On the EVM chains, gas is paid in each chain's own token: BNB on BNB Chain, ETH on Base, Ethereum, Ink and Robinhood Chain, HYPE on HyperEVM and USDC on Arc. It is cents on most of them and a real cost on Ethereum, where it rises with congestion. None of it goes to Axiom.
Perpetuals
Perpetual futures run on Hyperliquid, and Axiom adds 0.01% to Hyperliquid's own fee. That makes each perp trade far cheaper than a spot memecoin trade, though trading on margin can cost far more in other ways. The perps page works through funding and liquidation.
What Referrals Earn
The other side of the program pays whoever shares a code. Axiom passes on 30% of the fees from traders you refer directly, 3% from the people they refer and 2% from the level after that, paid out as cashback in the same way as your own. The affiliate program page covers how to start.
Keeping Costs Down
Most savings are habits. Make fewer round trips, since every exit pays the same fee as the entry. Use limit orders instead of chasing a move. Keep launch-level network fees on one preset rather than all three. Let volume carry you up the tiers instead of trading more to get there. Fees are counted inside PnL, so the portfolio shows exactly what they cost you.
Paying Less on Axiom
Enter invite code TradeNow
Put TradeNow in the referral field when you sign up at axiom.trade/@tradenow; the code cannot be added to an account later. Your base fee is then 0.8% instead of 1%.
