Axiom vs BONKbot

BONKbot was the Telegram bot that put a generation of Solana traders on memecoins, with about $95 million in lifetime fees on DefiLlama. In 2026 its fees fell by more than nine tenths, and the team now points users to Telemetry, a web and mobile terminal of its own. This page sets both against Axiom, which took $20.3 million in fees over the last 30 days. Sign up with TradeNow and Axiom bills 0.8% a trade.

Axiom or BONKbot: which should you use?

For trading launches, Axiom. BONKbot's own docs say it has no sniper for new pools, it trades Solana only, and a referral code brings no discount. It still suits someone who wants a familiar Telegram bot with limit orders, DCA and trailing stops, or who likes the idea of fees flowing back to the BONK community.

Telemetry, BONKbot's newer terminal, narrows the gap on screens but is still small: about $23,000 in fees over the last 30 days.

BONKbot Today: the Bot and Telemetry

The Telegram bot still works, with five backup copies for when the main one is busy. Its docs list limit orders with trailing stops and partial fills, DCA in and out, Auto Buy, Auto Strat presets for take profit and stop loss, an X-Ray scanner for new launches, a wallet tracker and MEV protection through Jito in Turbo or Secure mode. What they leave out is telling: no copy trading, and no sniper that buys a pool the moment it opens.

The bot's website now carries a banner for Telemetry, and BONKbot's X profile calls it the team's Solana trading terminal. Telemetry runs in a browser and on phones, and pays every user cashback of 5% to 25% of fees by volume. It is where BONKbot is heading, though DefiLlama shows it still earns far less than the bot did.

Fees, Cashback and Where the Money Goes

BONKbot's docs put the fee at 1% on each successful swap, with no discount for the person who uses a referral link. Referrers on the bot earn 30% of their referrals' fees in the first month, 20% in the second and 10% after that. Users who join through a community link send a fifth of their fees to that community's treasury, and BONK's own disclosure says bot fees also fund grants and BONK buybacks and burns.

On $1,000 of swaps that is $10 on the bot. On Axiom it is $8 with TradeNow, falling to $6 at its top cashback tier.

Where BONKbot Holds Up

DCA and trailing stops

Laddered DCA buys and sells, trailing stop losses and partial fills are all in the bot itself.

A clean security claim

BONKbot says it has never been hacked, and links the 2024 drain once blamed on it to the Solareum exploit.

Fees that feed BONK

Part of the revenue goes back into BONK grants and buybacks, which matters to holders of the token.

Where Axiom Pulls Ahead

Built for launches

Pulse sorts new pairs, near-graduation curves and migrations, and the migration sniper buys the moment a curve completes.

Beyond Solana

Eight more chains, from BNB and Base to Robinhood Chain and Elysium, plus perps and prediction markets.

Cheaper up front

The 0.8% rate starts on the first trade, with no volume needed, and cashback comes on top of it.
