Security & Custody
Why DexFarm is non-custodial and what that means for you.
DexFarm is a non-custodial cashback service. We never hold your trading capital, never need your private keys, and never have signing authority over your wallet. This page explains exactly what that means and what the actual risks are.
What "Non-Custodial" Means Here
When you use DexFarm:
- Your Axiom trading wallet stays yours — secured by Turnkey's MPC infrastructure (the same security model as Axiom itself)
- Your destination wallet for cashback withdrawals stays yours — we don't need access
- The only money DexFarm holds is the referral commission paid by Axiom, before we forward your share
At any moment, the maximum DexFarm could ever lose on your behalf is whatever cashback has accumulated since your last withdrawal — not your trading capital.
What We Don't Have
- ❌ Your private keys
- ❌ Your seed phrase
- ❌ Signing permission on any wallet you own
- ❌ Ability to trigger trades on your behalf
- ❌ Custody of your trading balance
What We Do Have
- ✅ Your email (from Google OAuth)
- ✅ A record of your assigned referral link / Axiom user ID mapping
- ✅ A SOL wallet that holds pending cashback before payout
How Cashback Funds Are Held
Between settlement and your withdrawal, cashback sits in a per-user dedicated wallet (the same wallet that received the referral commission from Axiom). We do not pool user funds.
This means even in a worst-case scenario where DexFarm's infrastructure was compromised, an attacker would need to compromise individual wallets one at a time — not drain a central treasury.
Real Risks to Be Aware Of
1. Operator Risk
DexFarm is a small operation. If we shut down, you would lose access to any unwithdrawn cashback. We mitigate this by recommending you withdraw regularly once you reach the minimum.
2. Axiom Dependency
DexFarm depends on Axiom honoring its referral payouts. If Axiom stopped paying referral commissions or changed its program terms, our cashback would stop or change.
3. Account Verification
For DexFarm to attribute trades to you, your Axiom account must be linked to your DexFarm referral. If you accidentally trade on a different Axiom account (or your link gets unlinked), those trades won't generate cashback.
4. Smart Contract Risk: None
DexFarm does not use any custom smart contracts. We only call standard Solana SOL transfers and rely on Axiom's existing referral system. There is no smart contract risk on our end.
Audit Status
Because DexFarm has no custom smart contracts, there's nothing for a smart contract auditor to audit. The relevant security surface is:
- Our infrastructure (worker servers, database, key management) — internally hardened, not externally audited
- Axiom's referral system — we trust their existing security
- Solana network — battle-tested
