anchored·3cEhaP…XsAgSummary
Axiom (axiom.trade, also called Axiom Exchange or Axiom Trade) is a Y Combinator-backed (Winter 2025) browser-based Solana trading terminal founded in 2024 by Henry Zhang ('Mist') and Preston Ellis ('Cal'), offering memecoin trading, Hyperliquid perpetuals, wallet tracking and a yield module, and reporting more than $390 million in cumulative revenue by February 2026. On February 26, 2026, investigator ZachXBT alleged that senior business development employee Broox Bauer and associates abused internal customer-support ('god mode') dashboards to look up private user wallet data and front-run traders for roughly 10 to 13 months, with alleged profits reported at over $400,000. Axiom acknowledged that internal tools were abused and removed access, but has not disclosed investigation outcomes or user remediation, and no charges or enforcement actions had been publicly reported as of mid-2026.
