REFERRAL CODE

Terminal referral code:
terminalpedia

Terminal charges everyone the same 1% per trade. What a referral link changes is how much of that fee comes back to you: 35% instead of 10%, paid in SOL. The rate is set the moment you create your account and cannot be changed later.

Terminal referral code (2026)

Our code is terminalpedia, and you apply it by opening terminal.pump.fun/rk/terminalpedia before you create an account. There is no box to type a code into. The code lives in the URL path, which is the only way Terminal accepts one.

What you get is a cashback rate, not a discount. Terminal takes 1% of every trade with no volume tiers and no discount table anywhere in the app, and it pays part of that back to you in SOL. Users who sign up directly get 10% of their fees back. Users who arrive through a referral link get 35%. On $10,000 of volume, that is $100 in fees, of which $35 comes back rather than $10.

Terminal is the app formerly called Padre, which is why most searches for this land on Padre pages. Same product, same referral system, same /rk/ link format. If that is news to you, start with Terminal, formerly Padre.

What the code actually gets you

35%

Cashback with a referral link

10%

Cashback without one

SOL

Paid per trade, claimed manually

Nothing else changes. Your fee is 1% either way, the app behaves identically, and no feature is gated behind the referral. This is the whole offer, and it is worth exactly one thing: the difference between 10% and 35% of what you spend on fees, for as long as the account exists.

How the /rk/ link actually works

We pulled this from Terminal's production JavaScript on 6 August 2026 rather than from marketing copy, because the mechanics decide whether your rate registers.

The app defines a single referral route, /rk/:refCode. On startup it checks whether the current path contains /rk, splits the code out of the URL, writes it to browser localStorage under the key padreV2-referredBy, and registers it. So the code is an attribution token stored on your device the first time you visit, and it is bound to the account when you sign up.

Three consequences worth knowing:

  • Opening the link in a private window, then signing up in a normal one, loses the code. Use the same browser profile for both.
  • Clearing site data between opening the link and creating the account also loses it. Check the Rewards page before your first trade.
  • Only /rk/ works. A /r/ path or a ?ref= query string does nothing, and the page will still load normally, which is what makes it easy to miss.

Legacy padre.gg links use the same format and still work, since both domains front the same application. The app's own PnL share cards still generate trade.padre.gg addresses, which is a leftover from the rename rather than a different program.

Signing up, step by step

1

Open the referral link first

Visit terminal.pump.fun/rk/terminalpedia before creating an account. Terminal reads the code out of the URL path and stores it in your browser, so this has to happen before signup rather than after.

2

Create your account

Sign in with Telegram, Google or X, then set the password that encrypts your wallet keys. Terminal never stores that password and there is no reset flow, so save it somewhere permanent first. Our custody guide explains why exporting your keys at this point matters.

3

Check the Rewards page

Open terminal.pump.fun/rewards and confirm your account shows the 35% rate. Do it before your first trade, because that is the only chance you get to catch a code that did not register.

4

Trade, then claim in SOL

Cashback accrues per trade and waits in your rewards balance until you claim it manually. Set both a SOL and an EVM rewards wallet so payouts land where you want them. Before your first buy, read the 20% slippage trap, which costs small traders far more than cashback returns.

Get 35% Cashback Instead of 10%

Terminal pays cashback on your trading fees, in SOL, on every trade. Sign up directly and the rate is 10%. Sign up through a referral link and it is boosted to 35%.

Payout mechanics

Cashback is not credited against your next trade. It is a SOL balance you claim, which means it sits there until you go and get it. The right-hand column says where each fact comes from, because the documentation and the shipped app do not always agree.

One gap we will not paper over: no minimum claim amount appears anywhere, in the app or in the archived documentation. That probably means there is none, but we have not confirmed it, so do not plan around claiming dust.

Where these two numbers come from

The 35% is solid. It is confirmed in live in-app copy, which reads “Up to 35% cashback,” and it matches the referral share visible in the app's own code.

The 10% default is weaker. It comes from an archived capture of the Padre documentation from March 2026, which stated that “by default, all users receive 10% cashback on trading fees” and that a referral signup boosts the rate to 35%. That documentation site is now offline and we have not been able to re-verify the floor in the current app. It is the weakest number on this page and we would rather flag it than let it sit next to the verified one as if they were equally solid.

What is not in doubt is the direction: a referral signup pays materially more, and the choice is only available once.

The 90% cashback offer has expired

Several sites still advertise 90% cashback on Terminal. That number was real once and it is not available now.

When pump.fun acquired Vyper in February 2026 and wound down its app four days later, migrating Vyper users were offered up to 90% fee cashback for their first month. It was a one-off incentive to move an acquired user base. The word “vyper” now appears zero times in Terminal's shipped code, and live in-app copy tops out at 35%.

If a page is quoting you 90%, it has not been updated since February 2026, and you should treat everything else on it with the same suspicion.

What we earn, and why we are telling you

When you sign up through our link, Terminal pays us 35% of the trading fees you generate. That is the standard referrer rate. A higher ceiling of up to 40% exists but is gated to negotiated KOL and partner accounts in the app's code, so 35% is the number that applies here.

Our commission comes out of Terminal's share of the 1% fee. It is not deducted from your cashback, and it does not raise what you pay. If you signed up without any link, Terminal would simply keep that portion.

We are saying this plainly because the alternative is worse. Roughly three quarters of the Terminal and Padre content on Reddit is undisclosed referral spam, and it is the main reason genuine questions about this app go unanswered. Our incentive is obvious, so the only useful thing we can offer is being accurate about the product anyway, including the parts that argue against signing up. Read the slippage trap and Terminal vs Axiom before you decide, and if Axiom looks like the better fit, our sister site Axiompedia covers it.

Before you click

  • Cashback is 35% instead of 10%, paid in SOL, accruing on every trade across all supported chains
  • The 1% fee is unchanged. Nobody pays more or less because of a referral
  • The rate is bound at signup and cannot be changed afterward, so the link has to come first
  • Only official domains: terminal.pump.fun and padre.gg. Lookalikes such as padregg.org, padre-trade.com and padre-terminal.xyz are not affiliated
  • Set your slippage before your first trade. At the 20% default it can cost more in one bad fill than cashback returns in a month

Frequently asked questions

The code is terminalpedia, and it is applied by visiting terminal.pump.fun/rk/terminalpedia before you create an account. Terminal only supports the /rk/ link format, so there is no field to type a code into. Opening the link stores the code in your browser, and it is attached to your account when you sign up.

Signing up through a referral link sets your cashback to 35% of the trading fees you generate, instead of the 10% default. Cashback is paid in SOL, accrues on every trade, and is claimed from the Rewards page. The 1% trading fee itself is the same either way, so the referral changes what comes back rather than what you pay.

No. The rate is bound to your account at signup and there is no way to change it afterward. Terminal has no field for entering a code inside the app, and no support process for switching an existing account onto a boosted rate. If you already have an account at the default rate, that is where it stays.

It is paid in SOL. Your balance accrues per trade in real time and sits there until you claim it manually from the Rewards page at terminal.pump.fun/rewards. No minimum claim amount is stated anywhere in the app or the archived documentation. You can set separate SOL and EVM rewards wallets, so trades on the EVM chains accrue too.

It does not. Terminal charges a flat 1% on every trade with no volume tiers and no discount table anywhere in the app. A referral link only raises the share of that fee paid back to you as cashback, from 10% to 35%. Read our fees guide for how the 1% stacks with pump.fun's separate 1.25% bonding-curve fee.

No. The 90% figure was a first-month migration incentive for Vyper users after pump.fun acquired Vyper in February 2026, and it expired. The word "vyper" does not appear anywhere in Terminal's current code, and live in-app copy tops out at 35% cashback. Any site still advertising 90% is out of date.

Yes, and it is the reason this page exists. Terminal pays a referrer 35% of the trading fees generated by the people they refer. That comes out of Terminal's share of the 1% fee, not out of your cashback, and it does not change your rate or your costs. A higher partner rate of up to 40% exists but is gated to negotiated KOL accounts.

No. Only the /rk/ path exists in the app's router. A link shaped like terminal.pump.fun/r/code or terminal.pump.fun/?ref=code will load the app but store nothing, so you would sign up at the 10% default without realizing it. Legacy padre.gg links using /rk/ still work, since both domains front the same application.
