Trade With Photon Airdrop Guide

Update, 25 October 2026: Photon has not announced a token or an airdrop. Any site offering a Photon token claim is a scam, so never connect your wallet, sign a permit or paste a private key to “claim” anything. Photon charges a 1% fee on every buy and sell, so trading only to collect points costs real money. This page was written when a Photon airdrop was being talked about, and it is kept as a guide to using the platform.

Photon is a memecoin trading terminal on Solana.

The Photon website is a web-based terminal for buying and selling Solana tokens. Photon charges a 1% fee on every buy and every sell.

How to Join the Trade With Photon Airdrop

Join Photon

Visit the website and Create Your Wallet. After this connect your twitter account when prompted. Make Sure to save your private key somewhere if you want to be able to use it on your non-custodial wallets.

Photon Stimmies page (optional)

Photon’s Stimmies page was part of an earlier campaign. No airdrop or token has been announced, so nothing here is promised. You can open the Stimmies page from this link. Treat it as optional.

Deposit & Trade on Photon (optional)

Photon has not announced an airdrop, so you do not need to trade for one. Only trade if you want to use Photon as a trading terminal. Every buy and sell costs a 1% Photon fee, so trading only to collect points loses money. If you do trade, here are a few ways to start.

(LOWEST RISK, STILL COSTS FEES) Open a trade on a stable token, wait a few minutes then close it. The token is unlikely to fluctuate in price in this time but Photon charges 1% on the buy and 1% on the sell, so expect to lose about 2% plus network costs.
(MODERATE) Use the platform as it is intended and buy tokens you plan to hold on it.
(RISKY) Trade meme coins on the platform.

How to Use Photon

New Pairs

Click the “Created” filter to see all new pairs, including those launched by Raydium and Pumpfun.

Filters/Dexes/Quick Buy Options

Filters: Use filters to remove unwanted tokens from your dashboard. Avoid filtering out “Top 10 Holders” since early token distribution can be uneven. Keep filters simple to avoid missing potential opportunities.
Dexes: Select all Dexes, but focus on Raydium and Pumpfun.
Quick Buy: Activate Quick Buy, enter your amount, and click the button under “Action.”

Trending Tab

This shows the top 100 trending token pairs by transactions in the selected timeframe. Avoid using timeframes under 30 minutes for memecoins to get more stable and accurate data.

Points Leaderboard

Your ranking is updated every 7 days, showing your total points and volume. Photon has not said that points convert into a token. Being in the top 100 earns you extra points at the end of each cycle.

Pumpfun Integration

You can buy tokens on a bonding curve and get detailed information before they hit Raydium, trading directly on Photon.

Trading Settings

Quick Buy: Use these settings for a 99% success rate:

Slippage: 20%
Priority Fee: 0.01 SOL
MEV: ON (for Buy only)
Bribery: 0.02 SOL

Quick Sell: Same as Quick Buy, but turn off MEV protection because:

MEV attacks are less likely on sell orders.
It may cause delays or failed transactions.
