      Circular Founder Raises Concerns Over Axiom's Validator Bribes and Lunar Payments

      Ben, the founder of Circular, a platform analyzing Solana landing services, has raised concerns regarding the trading terminal Axiom. He claims that Axiom misleads traders by charging them through what he describes as 'validator bribes,' which are then routed to the landing service Lunar, operated under HelloMoon. Since April 2026, Axiom traders have reportedly paid approximately $55.7 million in bribes to Lunar, but a recent analysis indicates that only about 1% of these payments can be traced back to legitimate on-chain validator incentives.

      Circular's analysis, which spans from April 26 to October 19, 2026, reveals that Lunar received a total of 530,166 SOL in bribes, valued at around $55.67 million based on a price of $105 per SOL. This corresponds to 189 million successful bribe payments made through Axiom transactions. In the last 30 days alone, Axiom processed 45 million transactions that resulted in payments to Lunar, accounting for 80.6% of Axiom's successful transactions. During this period, Lunar received 138,964 SOL, approximately $14.59 million, with only 1.14% attributed to additional on-chain validator incentives.

      Ben also provided specific on-chain examples from September 26 and October 7, where he noted that the identifiable increase in priority fees after paying bribes suggested by Axiom was about 1% of the total amount paid to Lunar. He emphasized that Axiom has control over transaction routing and fee recommendations, and has made its associated Lunar address available on GitHub for verification. However, he clarified that Circular's findings are based on on-chain statistics and personal judgment, and do not account for other service costs or off-chain payments.
