Terminal Guides and Tutorials

Why This Library Exists

Because the product's own documentation is gone. As of August 2026 every path on docs.padre.gg returns a 302 redirect to the sign-in screen, including its sitemap, and it does so for Googlebot as well as for people. Google still ranks those pages under their original titles, so anyone searching for the Padre FAQ, the transaction settings reference or the wallets guide clicks a top result and lands on a login form. These guides exist because that documentation is the only public description of how the product works, and it is currently unreadable. The app changed names along the way, which is its own source of confusion: Terminal, formerly Padre covers the rename, and what Terminal by Pump.fun actually is covers the product and the companies behind it. This page is the index; those two are the answers.

The Eight Clusters, and What Each One Answers

Where the Facts Come From

Three sources, and we label which is which whenever it matters. Archived captures of the old GitBook, dated January to March 2026, recovered from the Wayback Machine. Terminal's live production JavaScript bundle, read directly on 6 August 2026. And pump.fun's own published fee page, which is still live and still maintained. Where the archived docs and the shipped code disagree, we trust the code and say so on the page.

They disagree more often than you would expect. The docs describe execution presets named P1, P2 and P3; the live app renamed them Normal, Fast and Ultra. The marketing copy claims four chains; the chain selector in the shipped bundle lists five, with Robinhood Chain fully wired and mentioned in no official material at all. Third-party reviews list TWAP orders as a Terminal feature; we found no match for the string in the bundle we read and no entry for it in the order-type enum. Several features documented in 2025, including the Automations page and the Jeet Grid panel, are no longer present.

Which Guide Covers Fees, and the Short Answer

Terminal charges 1% per trade. In the bundle we read on 6 August 2026 the rate is a single constant, with no volume tiers and no discount ladder, and volume only affects rewards. If the token you are buying is still on a pump.fun bonding curve, pump.fun's own 1.25% applies separately on top, per its published fee page. A referral link changes the rebate rather than the fee: cashback on your own fees is 35% if a referral code was stored when you signed up, paid in SOL. The 10% default rate for a direct signup comes from archived documentation only. The full arithmetic is in Terminal rates and fees.

Who These Guides Are For

Padre-era users who woke up to a differently named app and want to know what changed should read the rename explainer and nothing else. New traders should work through how to trade on Terminal before funding anything, because two of its steps prevent real money loss. Anyone comparing venues wants Terminal vs Axiom, which is the only comparison with genuine search demand behind it and the only one we have built. And anyone already trading who hit a wall should go straight to the error message catalog, which we transcribed from the app itself because we could not find it published anywhere else.
