Why your code has to be set at sign-up
Axiom attaches the referral discount when the account is created. If you already have an account without a code, the documented workaround is a fresh account opened through the referral link, then a SOL transfer from your old wallet (about $0.001 in Solana network fees). Export and store the new recovery phrase before funding.
How to get 0.90% + cashback on Axiom
Open Axiom through the referral link before signing up
Axiom binds the 10% referral fee discount (0.90% effective fee) at account creation only. Open https://axiom.trade/@vip25 in a clean browser tab before connecting.
Create a new Axiom account with Phantom or email
Export and store your new non-custodial recovery phrase offline before depositing funds.
Transfer your SOL balance from your old wallet
Send SOL to your new Axiom address (~$0.001 Solana network fee) so every trade collects the 10% referral discount (0.90% effective fee) plus up to 25% Champion tier SOL cashback & Axiom Points.
