Quick Answer
An Axiom Trade account comes with a non-custodial Solana wallet created at signup and secured with Turnkey. Export and back up its key under Settings → Account & Security → Manage Wallets. Deposit by sending SOL to your wallet address or using the Coinbase on-ramp, and set your P1/P2/P3 fee presets and MEV mode before your first trade.
Set up a new Axiom account in four steps
- Back up your wallet key
Settings → Account & Security → Manage Wallets → key icon; store the seed or private key offline
- Fund with SOL
Send SOL to your Axiom wallet address, or use the Coinbase on-ramp
- Set fee presets
Configure P1, P2, and P3 with priority fee, bribe, and slippage
- Choose an MEV mode
Off, Reduced, or Secure — Secure is the protective choice for buys
Do the first step before you deposit anything. If you lose access to your login, the exported key is how you get to your funds.
Your Axiom wallet
When you sign up, Axiom creates a Solana wallet automatically and secures its keys with Turnkey, a key-management provider. You do not need to bring your own wallet, although you can also sign in by connecting Phantom.
The wallet is non-custodial: Axiom does not hold a balance on your behalf the way an exchange does, and you can take the key with you.
Export and back up your key
- Open Settings → Account & Security → Manage Wallets.
- Click the key icon next to the wallet.
- Reveal the 12-word seed phrase or private key.
- Write it down or store it offline. It can be imported into Phantom, Solflare, or Rabby.
Anyone with that key controls the wallet. Axiom, real support staff, and this site will never ask for it. The Manage Wallets screen is also where additional wallets are handled; keep a separate, small wallet for risky snipes if you use more than one.
Deposits and withdrawals
| Action | How | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit SOL | Click Deposit and send SOL to the wallet address shown | Network fee on the sending side |
| Buy with a card | Coinbase on-ramp inside Axiom | On-ramp pricing; about $500/week reportedly without KYC |
| Withdraw | On-chain send to any Solana address | No Axiom fee; small Solana network fee |
| Unstake axiSOL | Axiom's liquid staking | 0.1% withdrawal fee; 5% fee on staking rewards |
Double-check the destination address before any withdrawal. On-chain sends cannot be reversed, and address-poisoning scams rely on you copying a lookalike address from your history.
Trading settings to configure first
Fee presets: P1, P2, P3
Axiom saves three fee presets. Each stores a priority fee, bribe, and slippage, and Quick Buy and Instant Trade use them so you can act in one click. The default priority fee and bribe are 0.001 SOL each.
A practical setup:
- P1 — normal: default priority fee and bribe, modest slippage for liquid tokens.
- P2 — busy: higher priority fee and bribe for launches where trades fail at defaults.
- P3 — exit: wider slippage for getting out of a fast-moving token.
Code thanks takes 10% off Axiom’s platform fee, but priority fees and bribes are yours to set and are not discounted. The fees guide shows how much they matter on small trades.
MEV mode
Axiom offers Off, Reduced, and Secure MEV modes. Secure is the protective choice for buys, cutting the risk of being sandwiched. The trading bots guide covers how the sniper and copy trading depend on these settings.
