We checked every claim against each platform's own documentation — here is what referral codes really do in 2026. Updated October 30, 2026. Invite links checked on October 30, 2026: opened Pump.fun's invitation page naming VIP25 ("VIP25 invited you!"); opened FOMO's invitation page naming VIP50 ("VIP50 invited you to join fomo"); opened Terminal (Padre)'s invitation page, which shows "Up to 35% cashback - You're joining with code: vip25"; opened Axiom's invitation page naming vip25; opened GMGN's invitation page naming VIP25; opened Trojan's invitation page naming trenchfees in @solana\_trojanbot; opened Photon's invitation page naming VIP25. **Quick answer:** Our referral codes are `VIP25` for Pump.fun, `VIP50` for FOMO, `vip25` for Terminal (Padre), `vip25` for Axiom, `VIP25` for GMGN, `trenchfees` for Trojan, `VIP25` for Photon. On every platform, all valid codes give the same discount; the code only decides who receives the referrer share. Independent guide — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by FOMO Labs Inc., Pump.fun, Axiom, Terminal, GMGN, Trojan, or Photon. Affiliate disclosure: the codes listed here are our referral codes; Trenchfees may earn a referral fee share from the platform when you use them, at no extra cost to you. ## Key Details: Our Referral Codes for 7 Solana Apps | Platform | Our referral code (tested active) | Invite Link & Benefit | | ------------------------ | --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Pump.fun** | **`VIP25`** | [pump.fun/u/VIP25](https://pump.fun/u/VIP25) · 0.45% -> 0.40% Platform Fee in the web & mobile app (\~11.1% off the Platform Fee; new & existing wallets; the 1.25% bonding-curve fee and PumpSwap pool fees are unchanged), plus up to US$50 onboarding match for new mobile-app users (not in the UK, Brazil, Indonesia or Nigeria) | | **FOMO** | **`VIP50`** | [fomo.family/r/VIP50](https://fomo.family/r/VIP50) · 0.50% -> 0.45% trading fee (flat 10% referral discount; on Solana the percentage applies from 190 USDC, smaller trades use FOMO's minimum-fee bands) | | **Terminal (Padre)** | **`vip25`** | [trade.padre.gg/rk/vip25](https://trade.padre.gg/rk/vip25) · Standard account: 0% Trenches trading fee, 0% cashback. Pro account: 1.00% Trenches fee with 50%-70% cashback by 30-day volume (per Terminal's docs). The vip25 invite page advertises "Up to 35% cashback"; 35% is also the referral reward Terminal pays Pro referrers | | **Axiom** | **`vip25`** | [axiom.trade/@vip25](https://axiom.trade/@vip25) · 1.00% -> 0.90% fee (10% referral discount), plus volume-based tier SOL cashback up to 25% at Champion | | **GMGN** | **`VIP25`** | [gmgn.ai/r/VIP25](https://gmgn.ai/r/VIP25) · 1.00% -> 0.90% fee (10% referral rebate) across the web terminal and GMGN's own Telegram bots | | **Trojan** | **`trenchfees`** | [t.me/solana\_trojanbot?start=r-trenchfees](https://t.me/solana_trojanbot?start=r-trenchfees) · 1.00% -> 0.90% fee (10% instant cut), plus 20% SOL cashback | | **Photon** | **`VIP25`** | [photon-sol.tinyastro.io/@VIP25](https://photon-sol.tinyastro.io/@VIP25) · No fee discount (flat 1.00%); Photon Points and weekly leaderboard eligibility | | **Invite links checked** | **October 30, 2026** | Each code shown on the platform's own invite screen | | **Cost** | **Free** | Never pay for a referral code | {% hint style="danger" %} **Short answer:** no Solana trading app in this comparison offers a 30%, 50% or 95% fee discount through a referral code. The documented user benefit is a **10% fee cut** (Axiom, GMGN, Trojan, FOMO) or **\~11%** (pump.fun). On Terminal (Padre) the fee depends on the account type (Standard 0%, Pro 1.00% with 50%-70% cashback), not on the code. {% endhint %} ## Why the fake numbers exist Coupon and "promo code" farms auto-generate pages such as *"Axiom code 50% off"* or *"GMGN 95% fee discount"*. They usually confuse three different things: 1. **The referrer's commission** (the share the *inviter* earns) with the **user's discount**. 2. **Cashback on fees** with a **reduction of the fee rate**. 3. **Temporary points multipliers** with permanent fee cuts. ## Claim vs. platform documentation | App | Typical fake claim | What the platform docs say | Source | | ---------------- | ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | pump.fun | "50% off fees" | 0.45% → 0.40% (\~11%) with a referral code; up to $50 onboarding reward on new mobile accounts | [pump.fun/docs/referral-rewards](https://pump.fun/docs/referral-rewards), Terms §4.9(b) | | FOMO | "25%–100% off" | Flat **10%** discount for every valid code (0.50% → 0.45%) | [fomo.family/affiliates](https://fomo.family/affiliates), FOMO help centre | | Axiom Trade | "50% fee discount" | **10%** referral discount (1.00% → 0.90%); tier cashback up to 25% at Champion is volume-based | [docs.axiom.trade — Reward system](https://docs.axiom.trade/getting-started/reward-system) | | Terminal (Padre) | "95% cashback" | Standard 0% fee; Pro 1.00% with **50%-70%** cashback by volume; 35% is the Pro referrer reward | [docs.terminal.trade — Account types](https://docs.terminal.trade/docs/user-guide/account-types) | | GMGN.ai | "30%–50% off" | **10%** fee rebate (1.00% → 0.90%) | [docs.gmgn.ai — Referral link](https://docs.gmgn.ai/index/referral-link) | | Trojan | "50% off forever" | **10%** fee cut + 20% SOL cashback | [trojan.app](https://trojan.app) | | Photon | "Photon 50% code" | No fee discount; 1.00% fee with Points & weekly leaderboard | [photon-sol.tinyastro.io](https://photon-sol.tinyastro.io) | ## How to verify any code yourself (30 seconds) 1. Apply the code or open the referral link. 2. Open the order preview of a small swap. 3. Read the **platform fee line** — that number is the only proof. If it does not change, the code does nothing. ## Do Other Referral Codes Give a Bigger Discount? No. On FOMO, Pump.fun, Axiom, GMGN and Trojan every valid referral code gives the same platform discount (FOMO 0.45% instead of 0.50%, Pump.fun 0.40% instead of 0.45%, Axiom/GMGN/Trojan 0.90% instead of 1.00%). Numbers in code names such as `lockein`, `NEWUSER50`, `pumpbonus`, `BullishTBH`, `HQTRADE`, `JOIN100`, `gemqueenX`, `Iocke`, `CRACKEDSOL`, `VIP10`, `iamsmart`, `datawallet10`, `vip100`, `connect` or VIP50 are labels, not discount percentages. The code only decides who receives the referrer share. `VIP50` and `VIP25` are our codes: we test them actively and they fund trenchfees.com. **5-Point Safety Check:** Only enter codes on the platform's own domain, check the code on screen, check the fee line on your first order preview, never share a seed phrase or private key, and never pay for a code. ## Our referral codes (Fee Schedule Check: Oct 30, 2026) Independent guide — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by FOMO Labs Inc., Pump.fun, Axiom, Terminal, GMGN, Trojan, or Photon.
