Make sense of referral claims
The code name is not the discount.
A code that sounds like a discount is still just a code. The benefit comes from the app’s program terms, not from the words in the referral field.
Check the claim, not the handle.
Claims such as “100% off trading fees” need evidence from the platform. A valid referral code can still be advertised with an inaccurate fee claim. This page evaluates claims; it does not label a person’s code as fraudulent.
I have not reproduced lists of other codes from the original brief because the underlying evidence for those allegations was not supplied.
Pump.fun: what the source supports.
The standard published referral benefit described in this guide is 0.40% platform fee. The fee source is Pump.fun fees.
The platform fee is only part of a trade’s cost. A reduction in that fee does not remove protocol, creator, pool or network fees.
Axiom: what the source supports.
The standard published referral benefit described in this guide is 10% off trading fees. The fee source is Axiom referral program.
Referrer commission is different from the discount received by the trader. A larger revenue-share percentage is not evidence of a larger user discount.
Fomo: what the source supports.
The standard published referral benefit described in this guide is 0.45% standard trading fee. The fee source is Fomo trading fees.
The standard percentage is not the whole story for small Solana trades. Route minimums and reduced-fee tokens need separate consideration.
Check before confirming a trade.
- Read the app’s fee page and the specific referral terms.
- Check whether the quoted reduction applies to the trading fee, a platform fee or the whole transaction.
- Look at the fee breakdown in the app before confirming.
- Account for minimums, network costs, product restrictions and any separate promotions.
- If the benefit is unclear, ask the app’s support team before relying on it.
