Network, priority and tip fees are extra. You can trade on the web app, the mobile app or the Telegram bots, and all of them use the same GMGN wallet.\n\nGMGN creates your trading wallet and does not let you export its private key. Its docs call the Phantom-login version a custodial account. In October 2025, GMGN said it paid back the losses from a sandwich attack that hit 729 transactions. It also said it would pay back about 107 users hit by a phishing attack.\n\nMemeFees supplies a trading-fee discount for the COINTELLUS link; the referral guide lists the rate and conditions. GMGN's public docs describe referrer commissions, so the link-specific invitee offer is labelled as supplied by MemeFees rather than independently verified in those docs.\n\n### Pros\n\n- A flat 1% per-transaction fee with no other platform charges, per GMGN's docs\n- Withdrawals need Google Authenticator and go only to whitelisted addresses, with a hold after you set up or change the whitelist\n- GMGN said it would repay losses in full after both publicly reported incidents in October 2025\n- Wallet and KOL tracking that carried over from GMGN's original smart-money product\n- Anti-MEV mode with a choice of fast, reduced or secure transaction routing\n\n### Cons\n\n- No key export: GMGN does not let you export the private key of a wallet it created or of a wallet you imported\n- You need independently documented invitee terms: the COINTELLUS offer is supplied by MemeFees, while GMGN's public docs focus on referrer commissions\n- We did not find the name of the legal entity that operates GMGN in its docs\n- A token still on its launchpad curve also pays that launchpad's fee, so the total cost is above GMGN's 1%\n\n### Best for\n\n- Traders who want smart-money and KOL tracking built into the same tool they trade with\n- Traders who want to trade Solana, BSC, Ethereum and Base tokens from one account\n- Traders who want the option to trade from a web terminal, a mobile app or a Telegram bot with one shared wallet\n\n### Skip it if\n\n- You want to hold your own private keys. You cannot export the keys of GMGN wallets; trading with your own browser wallet turns off Anti-MEV and the automation tools\n- You need publicly documented invitee terms; the COINTELLUS offer is supplied by MemeFees and should be checked against the fee shown in your account\n- You only trade one chain and do not need GMGN's broader multi-chain tracking\n\n### What is GMGN.ai?\n\nGMGN began as a site for tracking smart money and profitable wallets. It then added trading through the gmgn.ai web terminal, a mobile app and a set of Telegram bots. The bots cover Solana, BSC, Ethereum, Base and Tron. One GMGN account and one referral code work across the website and the bots.\n\nDefiLlama files GMGN under the Telegram Bot category. That category name identifies the dataset. It does not show how much trading happens on the web terminal and how much happens on Telegram.\n\n### Is GMGN safe?\n\nCustody: when you log in with Telegram or Phantom, GMGN creates new wallet addresses for you. GMGN's docs call the Phantom login a custodial wallet account. On all chains, GMGN does not let you export the private key, and this also applies to a wallet that you import. GMGN's safety guide says that GMGN cannot transfer the balance of a user's wallet. You can trade with your own browser wallet instead, but GMGN's Anti-MEV mode and automation tools do not work in that mode.\n\nWithdrawals: the Telegram bots cannot send funds out. You withdraw on the website after you set up Google Authenticator and a whitelist of addresses. GMGN holds withdrawals for 3 hours after a new or changed whitelist and for 24 hours after you bind Google Authenticator again. GMGN also runs a bug bounty program that pays in USDT.\n\nIncidents: on 26 October 2025, GMGN posted that a sandwich attack between 08:35 and 21:34 UTC on 25 October affected 729 transactions, and that it would pay back the losses in full without action from users. On 27 October, GMGN said rumors of a hack were false and that a security audit found no platform issue. On 28 October, Haze, who posts for GMGN.Ai on X, posted that an external phishing attack used fake third-party token sites to trigger unauthorized trades. He said about 107 users were affected and that GMGN would pay back 100% of those losses.\n\nWhat we could not verify: we did not find the legal entity behind GMGN, a public third-party security audit, or proof of the repayments beyond GMGN's own posts. Phishing is the main risk that GMGN's safety guide names. GMGN staff never send the first private message and never ask for a private key. GMGN's token safety checks are for reference only. They do not make a memecoin safe to buy.\n\n### GMGN fees\n\nPlatform fee: 1% of each transaction, with no other platform charges, per GMGN's fee docs. On a 1 SOL trade the fee is 0.01 SOL.\n\nNetwork fee: gas goes to the network validators, not to GMGN.\n\nPriority and tip fees: you set these to speed up a trade. They go to validators and private nodes, not to GMGN. The maximum is 2 SOL. Anti-MEV mode needs a priority fee of at least 0.002 SOL.\n\nLaunchpad fee: a token that still trades on its launchpad also pays that launchpad's own fee. GMGN's docs use Pump.fun as the example.\n\nToken launch fee: GMGN's docs say that GMGN charges no fee to launch a token with its Cooking tool.\n\n### GMGN referral code\n\nThe MemeFees referral code for GMGN is COINTELLUS. GMGN's docs say that a referral link binds the code when a new user opens it, and that the same code works on the website and on the Telegram bots.\n\nGMGN's public referral docs describe commissions paid to referrers. MemeFees separately supplies a platform trading-fee discount through COINTELLUS; the referral guide lists the current rate. The link-specific offer is not labelled as independently documented by GMGN. Check the applied rate before trading. Network, priority and tip fees are never discounted.\n\n### Execution and tracking features\n\nThe core feature set carries over from GMGN's origins as a tracking tool: wallet monitoring, KOL (key opinion leader) wallet feeds, and smart-money signals sit alongside the trading functions. Sniping, copy trading, limit orders and take-profit or stop-loss orders are available from the web terminal or the Telegram bots, and a trade started in one interface uses the same wallet as the other.\n\n### GMGN vs Axiom, Photon and FOMO\n\nFees: GMGN, Axiom and Photon each list a 1% base fee. Axiom returns part of it as cashback, so its net fee falls from 0.95% to 0.75% as your trading volume grows. FOMO charges 0.50% per trade on most chains, with size-based tiers on Solana. The table below shows each terminal's fee terms from its own docs and the fees DefiLlama reports for the last 30 days.\n\nChains: Photon is a Solana app, and Axiom covers Solana, BSC and Robinhood Chain. GMGN covers Solana, Ethereum, Base and BSC. FOMO supports Solana, Base, BNB Chain, Ethereum, Monad and Robinhood Chain.\n\nReferral terms: Axiom and FOMO publish a 10% discount for users who sign up with a referral code. GMGN and Photon do not document an invitee discount.\n\n### How DefiLlama counts GMGN\n\nDefiLlama tracks fee-wallet inflows and deducts referral commissions to calculate retained revenue. Its current methodology measures Solana referral payouts on-chain and estimates EVM payouts using the measured Solana referral rate, described as roughly 16%. That estimate is not a fixed payout rate for every GMGN trade or chain.\n\n### Frequently asked questions\n\n### What is GMGN?\n\nGMGN.ai is a memecoin trading terminal with wallet tracking. You can trade on its website, its mobile app or its Telegram bots on Solana, Ethereum, Base, BSC and other chains.\n\n### Is GMGN safe?\n\nGMGN creates your trading wallet and you cannot export its private key. Withdrawals need Google Authenticator and a whitelisted address. In October 2025, GMGN said it repaid the losses from a sandwich attack on 729 transactions and would repay about 107 users hit by phishing. We could not verify the legal entity behind GMGN.\n\n### What are GMGN's fees?\n\nA flat 1% per transaction, with no other platform charges added on top, according to GMGN's own documentation. Network, priority and tip fees are extra and do not go to GMGN.\n\n### Can I export my GMGN private key?\n\nNo. GMGN's docs say that private key export is not allowed on any chain, including for wallets that you import. To keep your own keys, trade with your own browser wallet, which turns off Anti-MEV and the automation tools.\n\n### What is the GMGN referral code?\n\nThe MemeFees code is COINTELLUS. MemeFees supplies a platform trading-fee discount through COINTELLUS; see the referral guide for the rate. The public GMGN docs cover referrer commissions and do not independently establish this link-specific invitee offer.\n\n### Is GMGN a Telegram bot or a web app?\n\nBoth, plus a mobile app. GMGN runs the gmgn.ai web terminal alongside Telegram bots, and its documentation describes a shared referral code across the website and Telegram. DefiLlama's Telegram Bot category does not show how trading is divided between those interfaces.\n\n### Is GMGN cheaper than Axiom?\n\nBoth list a 1% base fee. Axiom's volume cashback can lower its net fee to 0.75%, and Axiom documents a 10% referral discount. GMGN charges a flat 1%.","markdownUrl":"https://memefees.com/reviews/gmgn.md"}]}
