Padre (Terminal) Review (2026): Fees, Safety & Features

Our Padre trading review in short: Padre, now called Terminal and owned by Pump.fun, is a multi-chain memecoin trading terminal for Solana, Ethereum, Base and BNB Chain. The docs describe a non-custodial wallet with password-encrypted keys and SOL cashback of 10% to 35% on fees, but the base fee is not published. We rate it 3.6/5 from research, not a hands-on test.

Padre (Terminal) in one paragraph

Padre is a web trading terminal for memecoins. On a Friday in October 2025, memecoin launchpad Pump.fun announced that it had acquired Padre, according to DL News, and Cointelegraph dates the deal to 24 October. On 5 November 2025, Phemex News reported that Padre changed its name to Terminal and stays reachable at padre.gg. The About Terminal docs page lists Solana, Ethereum, Base and BSC, with market and limit orders on all four chains. The app at terminal.pump.fun describes itself as a memecoin trading terminal on the same four chains. In February 2026, Pump.fun also bought the Vyper terminal and directed its users to Terminal, according to Cointelegraph. If you search for "terminal pump fun", this is the product.

Fees and cashback

Terminal does not publish its base trading fee in the docs we could open. What the docs do publish is the cashback, paid in SOL.

• Claiming: the docs say you claim cashback from the Rewards tab, with an auto-claim panel.
• Our link: it has no referral code. If you sign up through it, the docs suggest you get the default cashback rate, not the 35% referral rate.
• Network costs: on Solana you also pay a priority fee and often a Jito tip. Compare totals with our fee calculator.

Safety and incidents

• Custody: the Security page says Padre wallets are fully non-custodial and use Turnkey infrastructure for private keys. See self-custody.
• Password encryption: the same page says your private keys are encrypted with a password you set, and that the team cannot see that password. Someone who gets into your account still cannot trade without it.
• No password recovery: the FAQ says a forgotten password cannot be recovered. The getting started guide tells you to export your private keys before you deposit any funds.
• Token warnings: the FAQ warns about tokens with freeze authority, where the developer can block you from selling.
• October 2025, PADRE token: when it announced the deal, Pump.fun said the PADRE token "will no longer have utility on the platform". PADRE fell 67%, and two days later Pump.fun promised holders PUMP tokens of equal value to their PADRE one minute before the announcement, according to DL News. Phemex News reports a 24 October snapshot and a claim deadline of 30 December 2025.
• Rename scams: Phemex News also warned users about fake accounts during the rename. Open Terminal only from trade.padre.gg or terminal.pump.fun, and check our official links.
• Hacks: we found no report of a hack or exploit that drained user funds.

What this means for you: the wallet design is strong on paper, and the main risk is your own password and keys. The PADRE episode affected token holders, not trading wallets.

Features (from the docs)

According to the About Terminal page:

• Chains: Solana, Ethereum (including Ethervista), Base and BSC in one app.
• Orders: market and limit orders on all chains, including stop loss, buy dip, take profit, trailing stop loss and position-based limit orders.
• Exits: auto exit strategies and customizable trading views.
• Discovery: Trenches, a view for Pump.fun tokens with advanced filters. The app guide also has Trending and New Pairs pages. See our Pump.fun guide.
• Tracking: wallet tracking on all chains and multi-wallet tracking on charts.
• Portfolio: a real-time multi-chain portfolio with historical PnL and balance charts, also for imported wallets.
• Protection: MEV protection, according to the docs.
• Mobile: a PWA for iOS and Android that mirrors the desktop version.

Where other tools are better

• Published fees: Axiom publishes its full fee table, from 0.95% down to 0.75%. See the Axiom review.
• Trading from Telegram: Terminal is a web app with Telegram sign-up and notifications, not a Telegram trading bot. If you want to trade inside Telegram, see the Trojan review and our Telegram trading bots ranking.
• More chains and a hands-on test: BasedBot covers 8+ chains and is the only tool we tested hands-on. See the BasedBot review. Locke works with BasedBot; it is scored with the same methodology.
• Discovery and analytics: GMGN is strong on token data and wallet tracking. See the GMGN review.
