Frequently asked questions
Is Terminal cheaper than Axiom?
Terminal doesn't publish its trading fee as a percentage in its official docs, so we can't say. It does pay 10% (or 35% via referral) cashback, and pump.fun's Platform Fee isn't charged on Terminal trades.
Which has the best cashback?
Terminal advertises 35% cashback via a referral link; Axiom pays tiered SOL cashback plus 10% off via a referral link.
Is GMGN good for copy trading?
Yes, it offers automated copy trading, which also copies bad trades; set limits.
Signed up on GMGN but haven't traded yet?
GMGN publishes no discount for referred users, so the link only matters once you trade. Send SOL (Solana network), BNB (BSC) or ETH (Ethereum or Base) to your GMGN wallet address on the matching network, test with a small amount first, then make one small buy or set up a copy trade with a hard size cap.
