Axiom vs Photon: two Solana trading terminals, two fee models
Axiom and Photon are the two web terminals most often weighed against each other, and the split is simple. Axiom publishes a fee ladder: 1% headline, 0.95% net at the first tier and 0.75% at the top, with cashback paid in SOL, plus 10% off trading fees for users who arrive through a referral link. Photon charges a flat 1% on every buy and sell, collected in SOL, and documents no referral perk at all.
What separates them is breadth of features and current usage. Axiom adds wallet and X monitoring, multi-wallet and Hyperliquid perps, but documents no copy trading and no native mobile app. Photon keeps limit orders, DCA and Smart-MEV protection, and has collected about $442M in fees since launch on DefiLlama, while Axiom is already at $790M; Photon's 30-day fees are down to $219K against Axiom's $21.1M.
What really changes your result on Solana memecoins
Slippage settings and routing cost more than the fee gap between most of these bots. GMGN's own documentation recommends 30-50% slippage on memecoins, which gets expensive on larger orders, and GMGN compensated users hit by an MEV sandwich attack in October 2025 despite its anti-MEV settings. An anti-MEV switch, limit orders and DCA ladders matter more than a tenth of a percent.
Custody is the second thing to check. BONKbot seals keys in a hardware-backed manager and requires 2FA or a passkey to export them; Maestro encrypts keys with AES and shows the key and mnemonic once at creation; Bloom shows the private key once in Telegram, and deleting that message loses it. Trojan and GMGN let you export a key. fomo lets you export the key of its embedded wallet from the settings.
Telegram, web or app: where you will actually trade
The execution surface decides how fast you can react. Trojan runs a Telegram bot and a web terminal on one account and the same wallets, Solana only, with 20% cashback on bot trades and nine backup bots for busy launches. BONKbot is Telegram plus the free Telemetry web terminal. Bloom is a Telegram bot with a Chrome extension that adds its buttons inside Axiom, GMGN, Photon and BullX, so you keep your chart layout. fomo is the only tool here with native iOS and Android apps, at 0.50% a trade.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best Solana trading bot in 2026?
There is no single winner. On Solana itself, DefiLlama counts $20.5M in 30-day fees for Axiom and $3.87M for GMGN, which earns most of its fees on EVM chains. Pick Axiom for a published fee ladder and perps, GMGN for one account across Solana and EVM chains, and Trojan if you want Solana-only copy trading with DCA and perps.
Should I choose Axiom or Photon?
Axiom if you want tiered fees (0.95% net down to 0.75%), a 10% referral discount, wallet monitoring and Hyperliquid perps. Photon if you prefer a flat, documented 1% with no referral programme and no account perks. Axiom also leads on usage, now and since launch: $790M in fees on DefiLlama against $442M for Photon.
Do Solana trading bots charge a fee?
Almost all of them do. Most charge 1% per trade; Banana Gun charges 0.5% on manual Ethereum trades and 1% on snipes and other chains, and Sigma documents 0% on Solana trades. Cashback lowers the net rate: Maestro returns 15-30% automatically, Trojan 20% on bot trades, and Bloom charges referred users 0.9% instead of 1%. Gas and priority fees come on top.
Do I have to hand over my private key to a Solana bot?
It depends on the bot. BONKbot keeps keys in a hardware-backed manager and asks for 2FA or a passkey before an export; Maestro and Bloom show the key once at creation; Photon, Trojan, GMGN and Axiom let you export to a wallet you control. fomo lets you export the key of its embedded wallet from the settings at any time.
Which Solana bot is best for new memecoin launches?
Axiom documents pump.fun migration actions, GMGN adds sniping, wallet radar and anti-MEV in one account, and Bloom adds an AFK mode with a Chrome extension inside other terminals. Trojan documents copy trading, DCA ladders and auto-buy. Check the slippage each one recommends: GMGN suggests 30-50% on memecoins.
Can I trade Solana memecoins from my phone?
Yes. fomo, GMGN and o1.exchange document mobile apps. Telegram bots such as Trojan, BONKbot, Maestro and Bloom run in the Telegram app, and Photon documents mobile use through a browser wallet such as Phantom. Desktop web terminals are the weakest option on a phone.
