Your cashback is calculated from the referral commission Axiom pays out for your trades. This page explains exactly how the math works, when settlements happen, and what to expect on your dashboard.

The Formula

For every trade you make on Axiom:

Trade Amount × 0.95% = Axiom Fee
Axiom Fee × 30%   = Referral Commission (paid to DexFarm)
Referral × 50%    = Your Cashback

Simplified, your cashback is:

Trade Amount × 0.1425%

Real Examples

Trade Size	Axiom Fee	Your Cashback
$100	$0.95	$0.14
$1,000	$9.50	$1.43
$10,000	$95	$14.25
$100,000	$950	$142.50

Cashback adds up across all your trades in a settlement window.

Settlement Schedule

Cashback is calculated and credited every hour. There's no claim button — it just appears in your confirmed balance.

Timeline after a trade:

0-60 min: Trade is processed by Axiom; fee charged
~1 hour later: Our settlement run picks up the referral payout
Within 5 minutes of settlement: Your dashboard balance updates

Pending vs Confirmed Cashback

You may see two balances on your dashboard:

Confirmed: cashback that's already been settled and is withdrawable.
Pending (rarely shown): trades from the current hour that haven't settled yet.

You can only withdraw confirmed cashback. Pending trades become confirmed within 1 hour.

What If a Trade Doesn't Show Up?

If a trade you made doesn't appear in your cashback within 2 hours, the most common causes are:

Axiom referral not attached — make sure you traded through your DexFarm-issued link, or your existing Axiom account is linked
Trade was through a different bot — only Axiom trades qualify (Trojan, BonkBot integrations coming)
Settlement delay — Axiom occasionally lags on payout reporting

If it's been more than 4 hours, reach out on Telegram with your wallet address — we can manually verify.

Cashback Currency

All cashback is paid in SOL (Solana's native token). Dashboard amounts are shown in both SOL and USD using a live price feed for convenience, but the actual on-chain payout is always SOL.
