Axiom, a trading platform that went live earlier this year, has already generated $100 million in revenue, making it one of the fastest startups to reach this goal. Co-founded by 22-year-old graduates Henry Zhang and Preston Ellis, the platform facilitates trading of Solana-based tokens and perpetual futures on Hyperliquid. Supported by Y Combinator, Axiom rewards traders with significant fee returns and plans to expand beyond the current blockchain ecosystems. It also offers yield earning from idle cash and will soon enable native SOL staking. Though Axiom has no plans for a native token, it rewards users with 'Axiom points'. Despite their success, Zhang and Ellis prefer maintaining a low profile.
