What is Photon Sol?
Photon Sol is the Solana version of Photon, a web trading terminal at photon-sol.tinyastro.io. Its X account is @tradewithPhoton. You connect a wallet such as Phantom, and Photon then generates a separate trading wallet for you. You fund that wallet with SOL and trade from it in the browser.
Tiny Astro also built an Ethereum version of Photon at photon.tinyastro.io. On 1 October 2026, that address sent visitors to the Solana app. DefiLlama has Photon fee data on Solana from 12 January 2024.
Photon runs in the browser, and its docs describe no Telegram bot. On mobile, the docs recommend the Phantom in-app browser. Search terms such as "Photon trading bot" and "Photon sniper bot" refer to this same web app, because it buys and sells in one click.
Is Photon Sol safe and legit?
Photon is a real trading platform with a named operator. Its terms of use name Tiny Astro Inc., with an address in Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands. The terms apply the laws of Ontario, Canada. Photon's docs and terms name no founders or team members, and we found no official source that does.
Custody is mixed. Photon generates your trading wallet and shows its private key once. Save the key, because the docs say that Photon does not show it again. With the key, you can import the wallet into Phantom and move funds without Photon. Photon also runs your limit and DCA orders while you are away, so its system can sign trades from that wallet. Treat the trading wallet as a hot wallet and keep only your trading money in it.
We found no published report of a breach of Photon itself as of 1 October 2026. The documented risk is fake sites. In December 2025, the security site PCrisk described a fake Photon site at speedtrade[.]icu that drained wallets that connected to it. Photon's privacy policy says that Tiny Astro may collect your wallet address and IP address.
We could not verify who runs Photon day to day, how Photon stores the keys of the wallets it generates, or whether an outside firm has audited it. DefiLlama lists no audit for Photon. The tokens are the larger risk. Photon's filters show holder and liquidity data, but they do not vet the memecoins that you buy.
Photon fees
Photon's fee page states one fee: 1% of the input amount on every buy and every sell, collected in SOL. The docs give an example. If you spend 5 SOL on a buy, Photon takes 0.05 SOL and uses 4.95 SOL for the purchase. On a sell worth 1 SOL, the fee is 0.01 SOL.
Two network costs are extra, and you set both. The priority fee is a tip to Solana validators. The bribe goes to Jito validators. With a larger bribe, Photon sends the trade through its partner bloXroute. Pool and launchpad fees are also extra and do not go to Photon.
The docs list no cashback tiers, no volume discount and no referral discount. The fee table on this page lists each cost. The comparison table puts Photon next to Axiom, GMGN and Trojan, with the fees that DefiLlama reports for each platform over the last 30 days.
Photon trading bot features
Memescope is a live feed of new Pump.fun and Moonshot tokens. You can filter it by top-10 holder share, holder count, developer holding, bonding-curve progress, liquidity, volume and market cap. Hover over the feed to pause it, then use Quick buy.
Limit orders come in three types: buy dip, stop loss and take profit. You can set the target as a percentage drop, an exact market cap or a line on the chart. When a stop loss or take profit for 100% of a position runs, Photon cancels the other order. DCA orders split a buy or a sell into several orders over time.
Multi-wallet support allows up to 5 active trading wallets. You can split a deposit across them and buy or sell from several wallets at once. Three presets store slippage, priority fee, bribe and MEV protection settings, and you can switch between them on any token page.
Photon vs Axiom, GMGN and Trojan
All four platforms list a 1% base fee per trade in their own docs. Photon's docs publish no way to lower that fee. Axiom offers volume cashback and a referral discount. Trojan pays SOL cashback that rises with your Arena rank.
Photon trades on Solana only. Axiom also covers BSC and Robinhood Chain and adds Hyperliquid perps. GMGN pairs a web terminal with Telegram bots on several chains. Trojan runs a Solana Telegram bot and a web terminal.
Photon referral link and @wizz
Photon uses referral links, not typed codes. The link on this page carries the handle @wizz. Photon's docs have no referral page and describe no discount, rebate or other benefit for a person who signs up through a link.
The @wizz link gives MemeFees credit for your sign-up under Photon's referral system. The link gives you no documented discount, and you pay the same 1% fee.
