Axiom Invite Code Not Working? Here's the Actual Fix
It's almost never a bad code — it's timing. Here's exactly what's going wrong and how to fix it.
Why isn't my Axiom invite code working?
Almost always: the code was applied after the account already existed. Axiom's invite code only attaches at the moment of sign-up — there's no settings menu or support flow that retroactively adds one to an existing account. If sellpump isn't showing up as a 10% fee discount, the fix is to sign up fresh using the direct link axiom.trade/@sellpump, which fills the code in automatically so there's no typing step to get wrong.

That's my invite link — it carries the code through sign-up automatically, so there's nothing to mistype.
How to actually fix it
- 1
Confirm your account is genuinely new. If you already completed sign-up without the code, there's no way to retrofit it — skip to step 4.
- 2
If you're mid-signup, check the invite code field for typos or trailing spaces — it should read exactly
sellpump. - 3
Still not applying? Abandon manual entry and restart from the direct link instead — it pre-fills the code so there's nothing to type.
- 4
If your account already exists without the code, sign up again with a fresh wallet through the direct link — that's the only way to attach it after the fact.
Why this happens
Referral systems like Axiom's link a discount to your account at the exact moment it's created — not to your wallet, not to your email, to the account record itself. That's a deliberate anti-abuse design (it stops someone from farming a discount onto an account that's already been trading), but it means the single most common support question — "can you add my code now?" — has a real, structural "no" behind it, not just a policy one.
Most of what ranks for this search just says "check for typos." That's true but incomplete — if you've already finished sign-up, no amount of typo-checking fixes it, because the code was never in the picture for that account. That's the piece worth knowing before you spend time troubleshooting a field that isn't the actual problem.
FAQ
Why isn’t my Axiom invite code working?
The single most common reason: the code was entered (or the discount checked) after the account already existed. Axiom, like most referral systems, only attaches an invite code at the moment of sign-up — there’s no way to add one retroactively.
Can I add the code after I already signed up?
No. If your Axiom account already exists, there is no settings page or support ticket that will attach a code after the fact. The only fix is signing up again with a new wallet using the direct link or a code entered correctly the first time.
I typed sellpump and it still didn’t apply — what now?
Double-check for typos or extra spaces first (the field is case-sensitive on some sign-up flows). If that’s not it, use the direct link instead of typing the code manually — axiom.trade/@sellpump carries the code through automatically, which removes the typing step entirely.
How do I know if the code actually applied?
Check your account’s fee rate once you’ve completed a trade or two — it should read roughly 0.9% instead of the standard ~1%. If it doesn’t, the code didn’t attach and the fix is a fresh sign-up through the direct link.
Is there a way to get the discount without starting over?
Not through Axiom’s own referral system — the discount is tied to the invite relationship set at account creation, not something support can retroactively grant. If you’re early in using the account and haven’t moved meaningful funds, a fresh sign-up with the direct link is the practical fix.
