How It Works

The mechanics of fee cashback and how money flows back to you.

DexFarm doesn't change Axiom's fees. It just reroutes the part that was already being deducted to people who claim it. This page explains exactly what happens to your trading fee and where the cashback comes from.

Axiom's Fee Structure

Axiom charges a flat 0.95% fee on every trade. This fee is split internally:

  • 0.665% (70%) — kept by Axiom
  • 0.285% (30%) — paid out as referral commission

That 30% always goes somewhere. If you signed up through a referral link, the link owner gets it. If you signed up without a referral, Axiom keeps it. Either way, you're paying it.

Every Axiom trade is split 70/30 — and the 30% is what makes cashback possible.

How DexFarm Plugs In

We register as your referrer on Axiom. When you trade through your DexFarm-issued link, Axiom routes the 30% commission to a wallet we control. Then we automatically split it:

  • 50% back to your wallet (your cashback)
  • 50% to DexFarm (covers ops + improvements)

That means:

  • You pay Axiom: 0.95% per trade (unchanged)
  • You get back: 0.1425% via cashback
  • Effective fee: 0.8075%

Why It's Non-Custodial

DexFarm never touches your trading capital. Your funds stay in your Axiom wallet (which is itself non-custodial via Turnkey MPC). The only money we handle is the referral commission, which Axiom pays directly to us.

We then send your share to whatever wallet address you designate at withdrawal time. We never need your private keys, signature permissions, or wallet access of any kind.

Settlement Cycle

Cashback settles every hour. Here's what happens behind the scenes:

  1. Every hour, our system queries Axiom's referral payout for each user
  2. Your 50% share is calculated and added to your confirmed cashback balance
  3. You can see this balance update on your dashboard within minutes
  4. Once you reach the minimum ($20), you can withdraw any amount above that

What You Can Verify

Every payout is on-chain. When you withdraw, the transaction hash is shown on your dashboard. Click it to see the actual SOL transfer on Solscan. There's no internal ledger you have to trust — the proof is on the blockchain.
