Axiom

Axiom is a web trading terminal and non-custodial wallet backed by Y Combinator. It supports eight chains and combines token discovery with wallet tracking and Hyperliquid perpetual futures. Its migration orders and coordinated-buy detection tools suit active traders in newly launched tokens.

Company and founders

Founded in 2024, Axiom is based in Austin, Texas, USA, and joined Y Combinator's Winter 2025 batch in January 2025. Co-founder and CEO Henry Zhang previously worked at TikTok on generative AI for advertising and built startups, including one that was acquired. Co-founder and CTO Preston Ellis studied Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at UC Berkeley and previously interned at DoorDash. The company lists 2-10 employees. Y Combinator is an investor.

Wallet and trading tools

Axiom uses Turnkey for its non-custodial wallet infrastructure. After launching on Solana, it expanded to BNB Chain, Ethereum, Base, Robinhood Chain, Ink, Arc and HyperEVM. Traders can manage multiple wallets and place market or limit orders, including buys and sells triggered by token migrations.

Discover and Pulse cover token discovery, while Trackers includes wallet and social activity monitoring. Perpetuals connects to Hyperliquid. Predictions adds prediction markets; Portfolio provides account management, and Vision is another app section. The bundle checker flags potential coordinated purchases using same-block transactions and subsequent wallet behavior. It can miss bundles or flag unrelated activity.

Fees and access

As of October 2026, listed net trading fees range from 0.95% at Wood to 0.75% at Champion. Intermediate tiers are Bronze at 0.90%, Silver at 0.875%, Gold at 0.85%, Platinum at 0.825% and Diamond at 0.80%. Cashback, paid in SOL, rises from 0.05% to 0.25% as trading volume increases. Network costs are extra. Solana execution settings include configurable priority fees and validator tips.

The web platform also offers crypto purchases through Coinbase; Axiom states an allowance of up to $500 per week without KYC. Its Marginfi integration advertises up to 15% APY with instant withdrawals, adding lending-protocol exposure.

Track record and risks

Cumulative revenue exceeded $390M by February 26, 2026. Prediction markets launched in June 2026, followed by a unified Pulse and wallet tracker in July and Portfolio V2 in August.

On February 26, 2026, ZachXBT alleged employee misuse of private wallet data and potential insider trading, naming senior business development employee Broox Bauer. The allegations included dashboard screenshots shared in April and August 2025. Axiom said it removed access to the systems involved, pledged an investigation and confirmed an internal audit.

Non-custodial key infrastructure does not remove account-compromise or internal-data risks. Migration orders expose traders to automated losses and memecoin rug pulls. Secure MEV mode waits for a whitelisted validator, which can delay execution; Reduced mode retains MEV exposure. Trading fees apply repeatedly, adding substantial costs to frequent trading.

New users who sign up through an Axiom referral link receive a 10% discount on trading fees. The discount applies automatically when they trade.

Referrers earn a share of Axiom’s net fees from referred users’ trades on Solana, BSC and Ethereum. Level 1 pays 30% for direct referrals. Level 2 pays 3% for users introduced by direct referrals, and Level 3 pays 2% for users introduced by Level 2 referrals.

Commissions are calculated on Axiom’s net fee, starting at 1% and adjusted for user discounts and promotions. The referral percentage therefore applies to the actual net fee collected. Referral rewards have no cap, but some tokens may be excluded from rewards because of technical limitations. Each account receives a unique referral link to share.
