first_img Circular Founder: Axiom's validator bribes received through Lunar are only about 1% traceable to on-chain incentives

The founder of the Solana landing service analysis platform Circular, Ben, stated that he believes the trading terminal Axiom charges traders through misleading "validator bribes" and routes the related funds to the landing service Lunar under HelloMoon. Ben mentioned that since April, the bribes paid by Axiom traders to Lunar amount to approximately $55.7 million, but the latest 30-day analysis shows that only about 1% can be traced back to additional on-chain validator incentives, and he inquired whether Axiom shares in this tip revenue.Circular claims that it reconstructed the activities related to Lunar and Axiom from April 26, 2026, to October 19, based on on-chain payment flows: during this period, Lunar received 530,166 SOL in bribes, valued at approximately $55.67 million based on its quoted price of $105/SOL, corresponding to 189 million successful payments of bribes to Lunar from Axiom transactions. In the last 30 days, 45 million Axiom transactions made payments to Lunar, accounting for 80.6% of successful Axiom transactions; Lunar received 138,964 SOL, approximately $14.59 million, of which about 1,579 SOL was attributed to additional on-chain validator incentives, accounting for 1.14%.Ben also cited on-chain cases from September 26 and October 7, stating that after he paid bribes as suggested by the Axiom interface, the identifiable additional priority fee increase was about 1% of the amount paid to Lunar. He indicated that Axiom controls transaction routing and fee recommendations and has published its associated Lunar address on GitHub for verification. The above content represents Circular's on-chain statistics and personal judgment, and the post also states that the related proportions do not exclude other service costs or off-chain payments, and its estimate of the platform's revenue share is not based on tracked payments to Axiom.
