Trojan on Solana: fees, cashback and setup
Trojan is a Solana trading bot on Telegram that now also has a web terminal at trojan.com. It charges 1% per successful trade. Its Arena program pays part of that back in SOL, from 10% at the starting rank to 35% at the top rank, which is the largest published cashback among the platforms we cover.
What Trojan is
Trojan began in January 2024 as the Solana version of the Telegram bot Unibot. The Solana team split from Unibot in March 2024 and rebranded as Trojan. The Telegram bot is still the product most people know: you paste a token address into the chat and buy or sell with a tap.
The web terminal adds what a chat window cannot show well: charts, a feed of new launches called Trenches, a token audit panel, a wallet tracker, an X tracker and a holdings view. It supports market swaps, limit orders, DCA orders, auto-sell rules and copy trading, and it has a perpetuals page powered by Hyperliquid. There is no separate phone app in the documentation. The terminal runs in a mobile browser and can be added to the home screen.
Trojan's documentation calls the terminal non-custodial: it says Trojan does not store or control your funds or private keys.
Trojan fees and cashback
Trojan's documentation states one fee: 1% per successful trade. Failed transactions do not pay it. Cashback is paid in SOL after each completed trade, and the percentage depends on your Arena rank. You earn rank by collecting Gold, which comes from trading volume, daily streaks and quests.
| Arena rank | Cashback on the fee | Gold multiplier | Effective fee per side | Round trip on $1,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Degen | 10% | 1x | 0.90% | $18.00 |
| Warrior | 15% | 2x | 0.85% | $17.00 |
| Gladiator | 20% | 2.5x | 0.80% | $16.00 |
| Commander | 25% | 3x | 0.75% | $15.00 |
| Titan | 35% | 4x | 0.65% | $13.00 |
The effective fee column is our arithmetic: 1% minus the cashback share. Trojan also advertises up to 45% cashback for users who complete Arena quests, which would bring the effective fee to 0.55%.
The referral discount
Review sites consistently report that joining through a referral link lowers the fee from 1% to 0.9%. Trojan's documentation describes the referral program from the referrer's side and does not state a discount for the new user, and it does not say how a discount would combine with cashback. The fee calculator on solmath uses 0.90% for a referral sign-up and lets you enter your own cashback rate. Check the fee on your first trade.
Other costs
- Token account deposit. About 0.002 SOL the first time you buy a token. It is refundable after you sell.
- Priority fee and bribe. Paid in SOL to validators, and to Jito when MEV protection is on.
- Protocol fees. The pool or launchpad you trade on charges its own fee, for example 1.25% on a Pump.fun bonding curve.
- Buying SOL by card. The terminal uses MoonPay, which sets its own fees.
Is Trojan safe?
- Keys. In the terminal you can log in with your own Solana wallet, or with a passkey that creates a Trojan wallet. Wallet settings include an option to export the private key, so you can move a Trojan wallet into another wallet app. Limit and DCA orders need a Trojan wallet or an imported one, since Trojan executes them for you.
- Telegram is the weak point. A Telegram bot wallet is only as safe as your Telegram account. Turn on two-step verification in Telegram, and keep trading balances small.
- Look-alike bots. The official bot is @solana_trojanbot. Search results in Telegram are full of imitations that ask for a private key or seed phrase. Nobody from Trojan will ask for your seed phrase.
- History. The team is pseudonymous. Its split from Unibot in March 2024 was a public dispute: Unibot cited security concerns, and the Solana team rejected that and kept operating under the Trojan name.
- Audit scores are hints. Trojan says its token audit and safe-search filter are for research and are not an endorsement.
How to start on Trojan

- Try the web terminalLog in at trojan.com for charts, limit orders and the Arena page where cashback and rank are shown.
Who Trojan suits
Good fit
- You trade from your phone and want to act inside Telegram.
- You trade enough volume to climb Arena ranks, where cashback cuts the fee the most.
- You want limit orders, DCA and copy trading without a subscription.
Less of a fit
- You trade on chains other than Solana.
- You prefer not to keep funds in a wallet tied to a Telegram account.
- You trade rarely. The starting rank's 10% cashback is small on a few trades.
Questions
What fee does Trojan charge?
1% per successful trade, on buys and on sells. Arena cashback returns 10% to 35% of that fee in SOL depending on rank, so the effective fee ranges from 0.90% to 0.65%.
How does Trojan cashback work?
Cashback is SOL paid for every completed trade. The rate rises with your Arena rank: Degen 10%, Warrior 15%, Gladiator 20%, Commander 25% and Titan 35%. Trojan advertises up to 45% with quests.
Is the Trojan referral discount official?
A fee of 0.9% for referred users is widely reported, but Trojan's documentation does not state it. Confirm the fee on your first trade.
Which Trojan bot is the real one?
The official Telegram bot is @solana_trojanbot and the official site is trojan.com. Any bot or person asking for your seed phrase is a scam.
Does Trojan have a mobile app?
The documentation describes a mobile web version of the terminal that you can add to your home screen, alongside the Telegram bot. It does not list a native app.
