Padre Bot FAQ
Direct answers, including the ones the marketing pages avoid. Where Padre does not publish something, we say so rather than guess.
+ − Why is Padre now called Terminal?
The application at trade.padre.gg has rebranded to Terminal and the official X account is now @TradingTerminal, while the marketing site padre.gg still shows Padre branding. It is the same product on the same domain — your wallet, funds and settings are unaffected by a name change.
+ − What is Padre bot?
Padre is a browser-based multi-chain trading terminal for memecoins, covering Solana, Ethereum, Base and BNB Chain. Despite the common nickname, it is not a Telegram bot — it is a full web application with charts, portfolio tracking and order automation.
+ − Which chains does Padre support?
Four: Solana, Ethereum, Base and BNB Chain. You switch between them inside one interface instead of running a separate tool per chain.
+ − Is Padre custodial? Can they take my funds?
No. Padre is non-custodial and uses Turnkey key-management infrastructure. Your private key is encrypted with a password you set and Padre does not hold it. The same design means Padre cannot recover your password or reverse a transaction.
+ − What does Padre cost per trade?
Padre does not publish a public fee schedule. Every memecoin trade carries a platform fee, network and priority fees, a DEX liquidity fee and slippage. The reliable way to learn your real cost is a small round trip — buy and immediately sell — and measure the difference.
+ − What is the 35% cashback?
Padre advertises 35% cashback on trading fees, described as the highest on the market. It is a rebate on the platform fee only. It does not cover gas, priority fees, liquidity fees or slippage, and because the base fee is not published the absolute value is unknown until you measure it.
+ − Does Padre have a referral programme?
Yes. Referral links use the format trade.padre.gg/rk/<code>. Attribution is first-touch, so the link needs to be opened before you create an account rather than afterwards.
+ − Is Padre safe to use?
The security model is sound: non-custodial, Turnkey key infrastructure, 2FA, user-set encryption password, and BloxRoute MEV protection on Ethereum and Solana. None of that protects you from buying a scam token, from slippage on thin liquidity, or from losing your own password — which are the ways people actually lose money here.
+ − Can Padre stop rug pulls?
No, and no terminal can. MEV protection defends your transaction against sandwich attacks. It has no influence over whether the token contract itself is malicious.
+ − What happens if I forget my password?
The funds are permanently unrecoverable. There is no reset mechanism and no support override, because Padre never holds the key. Store the password in a password manager before funding the wallet.
+ − Is Padre better than a Telegram bot like Trojan?
It depends on your style. Telegram bots are faster to fire from a phone. A terminal gives you charts, a multi-chain portfolio and configurable automatic exits. Traders who plan exits tend to prefer the terminal; traders whose edge is raw entry speed tend to prefer the bot.
+ − Do I need SOL to trade on Solana through Padre?
Yes. You need the native asset of whichever chain you are trading on to pay gas — SOL on Solana, ETH on Ethereum and Base, BNB on BNB Chain — regardless of which token you are buying.
+ − Can I use my existing wallet?
Padre supports importing wallets for portfolio tracking, but for trading we recommend a dedicated wallet generated in-app. Keeping memecoin trading isolated from long-term holdings means a bad contract approval cannot reach everything you own.
