You can paper trade on Padre with a browser extension like MockApe. It adds simulated trading to padre.gg, so your trades use a practice balance instead of real funds from your wallet.

What is Padre?

Padre (trade.padre.gg) is a browser-based trading terminal for meme coins that works across several chains, including Solana and BNB Chain. Pump.fun, the biggest Solana meme coin launchpad, bought Padre in October 2025.

A few weeks later, the project was renamed Terminal, but most traders still call it Padre and it still runs on the padre.gg domain.

Does Padre have a demo account?

No. Padre doesn’t have a demo account or a paper trading mode, so every buy and sell spends real funds from your wallet. To trade on Padre without risking real money, you need a paper trading extension.

How do you paper trade on Padre?

Add MockApe to a desktop browser that supports Chrome extensions.
Log in to trade.padre.gg and open a token. The MockApe panel only shows up on token pages, not on the Padre home page.
Trade with the MockApe panel instead of Padre’s own buy and sell buttons.
Check your trade history to see how each trade went.

Is it safe to paper trade on Padre?

MockApe doesn’t connect to your wallet and can’t access your funds or private keys. Paper trades never happen on-chain.

Make sure you use the MockApe panel when you’re paper trading, though. Padre’s own buy and sell buttons still place real trades.

Is paper trading on Padre free?

Yes. Sign up for Padre and install MockApe, and you can start paper trading for free.

How accurate is paper trading on Padre?
