Padre was a multichain memecoin trading terminal that Pump.fun bought in October 2025 and renamed "Terminal". It now runs at terminal.pump.fun as Pump.fun's own web terminal for Solana, Ethereum, BNB Chain and Base. It has a live launch feed, advanced order types and no reported hack, but Pump.fun still publishes no official fee page. It scores 7.1/10 in our method.
Risk notice: Crypto trading is high risk and memecoins can go to zero in minutes. Trading bots use hot wallets. This page is not financial advice; only trade what you can afford to lose.
What Padre was
Before the deal, Padre was an independent trading terminal on Solana, BNB Chain, Base and Ethereum, with its own PADRE token that offered fee discounts and platform access. Blockworks reported that Padre held about 4% of the Solana trading-terminal market at the time. That made it a mid-sized player behind the leaders, including Axiom.
The Pump.fun acquisition (October 2025)
- October 24, 2025: Pump.fun announced on X that it had acquired Padre, calling it a terminal for "professional traders on Solana, BNB Chain, Base, and Ethereum L1" (Pump.fun on X; date per DL News).
- The token. Pump said PADRE would "no longer have utility on the platform with no further plans for the future", and the token fell about 80% (Blockworks).
- Compensation. After a backlash, holders were promised PUMP tokens based on the PADRE they held a minute before the announcement (DL News). Blockworks noted analysts' view that this covered only a fraction of what shareholders would get in a traditional acquisition, because token holders don't own the company.
- November 2025: Padre was renamed Terminal and said it would keep focusing on multichain trading (Phemex News).
- February 2026: Pump.fun also bought the Vyper terminal, sunset it and folded its team and infrastructure into Terminal. Terminal's team said EVM trading, including Base, should "massively improve" (The Block).
The lesson for traders: platform tokens and terms can change overnight when a product changes hands.
What "Terminal" at terminal.pump.fun is now
Terminal is a browser app; there is no native iOS or Android app as of August 2026. Terminalpedia, an independent guide updated August 19, 2026, reports the following:
- Addresses: terminal.pump.fun, with trade.padre.gg serving the same code.
- Operator: Terminal's terms name Inspired Acquisitions, Ltd. as owner and operator.
- Chains: Solana, Ethereum, BNB Chain and Base. Terminal's own sign-in page describes it as "available on Solana, Ethereum, BNB & Base" (Terminal). Terminalpedia also found an undocumented Robinhood Chain integration in the code.
- Trenches: a bonding-curve monitor with filters for market cap, volume, holder concentration and dev holdings.
- Alpha Tracker: pulls in callouts from Discord, Telegram, X and Pump.fun.
- Orders: market, stop loss, take profit, trailing stop loss, dip, dev sell and DCA orders, with up to five exit conditions per buy.
- Copy trading: only a legacy tag on orders; the automations page was removed from the docs.
- Custody: non-custodial wallets on Turnkey, one private key per wallet, and a password the platform never stores. Lose it and recovery may not be possible.
One correction to older coverage: several reviews, including ours, listed TWAP orders. Terminalpedia's August 2026 update says it found no TWAP in the app's code, while DCA orders are live. We now treat TWAP as unconfirmed.
Usage is real. DefiLlama showed about $5.5 million in 30-day Terminal fees, almost all on Solana (DefiLlama, checked September 25, 2026). That's well behind Axiom (about $52.9 million) but far ahead of Photon.
Fees and cashback, as checked
Terminal has no official fee page, and Padre's old docs don't list fees either. What we have:
| Item | Figure | Source | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Platform fee | 1% per trade | Terminalpedia, from the app's code (updated August 6, 2026) | Third-party |
| Cashback, direct sign-up | 10% of the fee (0.90% effective) | Terminalpedia | Third-party |
| Cashback, referral sign-up | 35% of the fee (0.65% effective) | Terminalpedia | Third-party |
| "Up to 35% cashback" | Headline on the sign-in page | Terminal sign-in, when we checked in September 2026 | Official, but no terms |
| Bonding-curve fee (Pump.fun) | 1.25% | Pump.fun docs | Official |
| PumpSwap pool fee | 0.30%-1.25% by market cap | Pump.fun docs | Official |
Terminalpedia says the cashback rate is fixed when the account is created and can't be added later. It estimates about 4.5% round trip on a bonding-curve token for a non-referred account, before slippage, because Terminal's fee stacks on Pump.fun's. Work out your own numbers with the Pump.fun fee calculator or read Pump.fun fees.
Our score uses the plain 1% with no discount until Pump.fun publishes terms. Other terminals' fees: Solana trading bot fees compared.
What we could not verify
- The fee itself. No official fee page; the 1% comes from code analysis. Other sites report different figures.
- Who gets which cashback rate. The sign-in page says "up to 35%" but doesn't say who qualifies.
- TWAP orders. Listed by older reviews, not found in the code by Terminalpedia.
- Copy trading. Reports conflict; we score it as limited.
- Robinhood Chain support. Found in code only; not announced.
Check the fee shown on your first trade before trading size.
Is Terminal safe?
We found no reported hack of Padre or Terminal. The controversy was financial (the token), not a security breach. The risks are the usual ones: a hot wallet, clone sites and phishing links. Go to terminal.pump.fun directly and never through a link in a DM. More in are Solana trading bots safe? and how to spot a rug pull on Solana.
Terminal vs other terminals
- Axiom vs Padre: Axiom has documented fees, more tools and far more users.
- Padre vs Photon: Terminal has more users and chains; Photon has an official fee page.
- Wallet tracking: Terminal's Alpha Tracker is compared with GMGN, Cielo and Axiom in our Solana wallet tracker ranking.
- Pump.fun-focused picks: best Pump.fun trading bot and Pump.fun alternatives.
Full details and scoring are in our Padre (Terminal) review. For copy trading, see GMGN or Trojan; for all options, see the Solana trading bot ranking.
Who should use Terminal
Good fit: desktop traders who mostly trade fresh Pump.fun launches and want a launch feed, dev-sell triggers and stacked exit orders, plus Ethereum, BNB Chain and Base in one app.
