Where did the Padre documentation go?

docs.padre.gg was taken offline at some point between March and May 2026. Every path on it now returns a redirect to the application sign-in screen, including its sitemap. Googlebot receives the same redirect, so it does not behave like a bot challenge. Google still lists the old pages under their original titles, which is why a search for Padre documentation lands on a login form instead of the page you expected.

Is this the official Terminal documentation?

No. Terminalpedia is an independent site with no affiliation to Terminal, Padre or pump.fun. This section is an archive: it reproduces what the official documentation said, with the capture date attached to each page, because the original is unreachable. It is not maintained by the people who wrote it and it does not speak for them.

How many Padre documentation pages survived?

We recovered 149 pages from Wayback Machine captures spanning 2024 to March 2026. That includes the FAQ, the security and wallet pages, transaction settings, order types, the passkey guides, the referral program, the rewards page and the full $PADRE token section. Some captures are older than others and several pages self-reported as a year out of date even when they were live.

Can I trust what the archived documentation says?

Treat it as dated rather than current. The archived pages are the weakest of the three evidence tiers this site uses, below pump.fun’s live official fee page and below Terminal’s own shipped code. They disagree with the running application in several places, and where they do, we go with the code and say so on the page. Every figure taken from an archived page carries its capture date.

Which documentation pages were removed after the rebrand?

Comparing the navigation tree in a June 2025 capture against a March 2026 one, three top-level entries are gone: Video Tutorials, the entire $PADRE Token branch covering Tokenomics, Utility and Revenue Sharing, and Streamer’s PnL under Assets. Other sections appear collapsed rather than deleted in the later capture, so we are only claiming those three.

The Padre Documentation, Recovered

Terminal's documentation site went offline and now sends every page to a sign-in wall. Google still ranks the old titles. This is what those pages actually said, with the date each one was captured.

This is an archive, not the official documentation

Terminalpedia is an independent site. We are not affiliated with Terminal, Padre or pump.fun, we do not speak for them, and nothing here is endorsed by them. What we have done is reproduce what their published documentation said while it was public, with the capture date attached, because the original is no longer reachable. Where the running app contradicts an archived page, we say so on the page and go with the app.

What happened to docs.padre.gg

Terminal, formerly Padre, published a full GitBook: an FAQ, a security model, wallet guides, transaction settings, an order type reference, a passkey series, the referral program and the rewards rates. Sometime between March and May 2026 the site was taken offline. Every path on it now returns a 302 redirect to the application sign-in screen, including /sitemap.xml. Googlebot receives the same redirect, so this does not behave like a bot challenge. Why it is configured this way, we do not know.

The practical result is a bad search experience that nobody set out to create. Google still lists those pages under their original titles, so a search for something specific like Padre transaction settings returns a promising result that dumps you on a login form. The page you wanted still exists in the Internet Archive, and almost nobody thinks to look there.

We pulled 149 pages from Wayback captures spanning 2024 to 9 March 2026, which is the latest usable capture we found. The background on the rename that led here is in Terminal, formerly Padre.

Read these as dated, not current

The archived documentation is the weakest of the three evidence tiers this site uses, and it earns that position. Several of its pages self-reported as a year out of date while they were still live. It disagrees with the shipped application in more than one place: it lists four Solana venues where the app routes to sixteen, it names four chains where the app ships five, and it uses preset names the app has since changed.

So every figure recovered here carries its capture date, and where the code contradicts the document we go with the code. The rule and its reasoning are set out on our methodology page. A worked example is the cashback rate: the archived rewards page, captured 20 June 2025, states a 10% default rising to 35% through a referral link, and no 10% figure appears anywhere in the app we read in September 2026. We walk through what that means in the rewards tabs decoded.

What the rebrand removed from the documentation

Two captures bracket the acquisition: one from 20 June 2025 branded Padre, one from 9 March 2026 titled "Terminal (formerly Padre)". Comparing their navigation trees shows what was cut, from the publisher's own pages rather than by inference.

Navigation entry	Jun 2025	Mar 2026	Note
About Padre / About Terminal	Present	Present	Renamed in place
Mobile App	Present	Present	Survived both
Tips & Tricks	Present	Present	Survived, children collapsed in the later capture
Referral Program	Present	Present	Renamed from "Padre Referral Program"
Rewards	Present	Present	The page carrying the 10% and 35% cashback rates
FAQ, Glossary, Support	Present	Present	Survived both
Video Tutorials	Present	Gone	Gone from the later navigation
$PADRE Token (Tokenomics, Utility, Revenue Sharing)	Present	Gone	The whole branch is gone
Streamer's PnL	Present	Gone	Gone from Assets

Only top-level entries are compared. Sub-items render collapsed in the March 2026 capture, so their absence there is a display state rather than evidence of removal, and we are not claiming otherwise. The disappearance of the $PADRE Token branch is consistent with the token losing its platform utility at the acquisition, which we cover in the PUMP token and the airdrop that has not arrived.

What is in the archive

The recovered set covers the whole product as it was documented: getting started, security, supported venues and pairs, the mobile app page, tips and tricks, the referral program, rewards, the FAQ and glossary, support, and the full app guide across trading, trenches, trending, the token page, new pairs, portfolio and wallets. There is also a six-page passkey series, which matters more than it sounds, because passkeys were later removed from the product and the archived pages are the only remaining description of how they worked.

We are publishing these as edited pages rather than raw dumps, one at a time, each with its capture date and a note wherever the shipped app has moved on. The pages below are the ones published so far. If something you need is not up yet, the fastest route is usually the article covering the same ground: fees, wallets and custody, order types, or the error catalog.

Padre Terminal FAQ: The Official Answers, Recovered and Checked

The official Padre and Terminal FAQ went offline with the rest of the docs. Here is what it said, captured 8 January 2026, with each answer checked against the app running today.
