Padre Is Now Terminal
If you opened the Padre app recently and found something called Terminal, you are in the right place and nothing has gone wrong. Here is exactly what changed.
Nothing about Padre meme coin trading changed with the name — same chains, same wallet, same keys. If you want the product itself rather than the rebrand, start with how Padre Terminal works. The rename was not the only change of ownership that year — Pump.fun acquired the product in October 2025, and what that did to the PADRE token is a separate story with its own consequences.
Name aside, the product is unchanged — the full trade padre gg guide still applies.
What we verified
We checked each property directly rather than relying on second-hand reports:
| Property | Branding shown |
|---|---|
| trade.padre.gg — the application | Terminal — "Your Edge in Memecoin Trading" |
| padre.gg — marketing site | Padre — still the old branding |
| app.padre.gg | Padre — "Simple Way To Trade On-Chain" |
| Official X account linked from padre.gg | @TradingTerminal |
The application itself — the part you actually trade in — has moved to the Terminal name, and the official X handle has followed. The marketing site has not caught up yet. That split is what makes the current situation confusing.
September 2026: the documentation went offline
Re-checked 22 September 2026, and the transition took a casualty. docs.padre.gg no longer serves documentation: every URL on it now returns a 302 redirect totrade.padre.gg/. The separate intro.padre.gg subdomain returns a 525 — a failed TLS handshake. Google still lists those pages, carrying titles reading "Terminal (formerly Padre)", but the pages behind them are gone.
Practically, that means the written answers to how wallets, orders and the referral program work now exist only in the Internet Archive. We captured the relevant pages before they went and cite the snapshot timestamps wherever we use them — see the wallet documentation rewritten with its archive citation. We wrote up the disappearance in more detail on Medium, including the verbatim quotes the guide used to carry.
What did not change
- The domain. Still
trade.padre.gg. No migration to a new address. - Your wallet and funds. A rename does not touch keys. Still non-custodial, still encrypted under your own password.
- The product. Same four chains — Solana, Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain — same automation, same security model built on Turnkey with BloxRoute MEV protection.
- The 35% cashback. Still advertised, now on the Terminal sign-in screen.
The part that actually deserves your attention
Rebrands are the single best window for phishing. Users are already uncertain about which name and which site is correct, which is precisely the confusion an attacker needs. Expect fake "Terminal migration" pages asking you to "re-verify" a wallet.
Two rules cover it. First, reach the app only through a bookmark you saved yourself. Second, no legitimate rebrand ever requires you to enter a seed phrase or an encryption password to "migrate" anything. Anyone asking is stealing from you. More at is Padre safe.
Why most guides still say Padre
Because they have not been updated. Several pages ranking near the top of search for Padre queries were written months ago and describe a product state that no longer matches what you see on screen. At least one is worse than stale — it is an unedited affiliate template built for a different product entirely, still crediting Padre with features belonging to Axiom Trade.
We re-verify these pages against the live properties and date every check. If you find something here that no longer matches reality, tell us and it gets fixed.
Questions
Is Terminal the same product as Padre?
Yes. The application at trade.padre.gg now presents itself as Terminal. It is the same multi-chain memecoin trading terminal covering Solana, Ethereum, Base and BNB Chain, on the same domain.
Are my funds or wallet affected by the rebrand?
A name change does not move funds or alter keys. Your wallet remains non-custodial and encrypted under the password you set. That said, verify you are on trade.padre.gg before signing anything — rebrands are exactly when phishing clones appear.
Why does padre.gg still say Padre?
The marketing site and the application are updating at different speeds. As of August 2026, padre.gg still carries the Padre branding while the app at trade.padre.gg shows Terminal. Mixed branding during a transition is normal.
Should I still search for "Padre bot"?
For now, yes — most existing coverage, community discussion and search results still use Padre. Expect that to shift toward Terminal over the coming months.

- Nothing else — there is no action required from you for a rename
- New to the product? Start with what it is and the setup guide
