How we sourced this. Bloom (Bloom Trading Bot) figures on this page were compiled from publicly available documentation as of 2026-08-14, at medium confidence — largely triangulated from search results citing the vendor’s own docs rather than read end-to-end by a human. Primary source: https://docs.bloombot.app/solana. Anything we could not establish is marked Not published and is not scored against Bloom. Terminals change fees and features often — verify against the vendor before you act on a number here.
Bloom publishes the most granular referral schedule in this comparison — three levels where we publish two. The published rates on the tiers that overlap still favour us, and the tables below show both, so you can weigh depth against rate yourself. The bigger difference is the key.
Custody: what actually holds your key
“Non-custodial” is the most abused word in this category. Almost every terminal claims it. The claim is usually defensible and almost always incomplete, because it describes a legal posture rather than a mechanism. The question worth asking is narrower and answerable: which machine generates your private key, and which machine is holding it right now?
GDEX Pro uses an exportable MPC threshold key via Web3Auth: the key is split across multiple nodes and you can export it at any time. No single party, GDEX included, ever holds the whole key.
Bloom (Bloom Trading Bot) uses a bot-generated key: the bot generates the wallet for you and that key lives in the bot operator’s infrastructure unless you manually export it. Telegram bot that generates a wallet for the user; a private key or seed phrase can also be imported. The key sits in the bot's infrastructure unless exported. Marketed as non-custodial.
This is the distinction that gets lost. A bot-generated key can be described as non-custodial in good faith — you can export it, and the operator will tell you the wallet is yours. But until you export it, the key was created on someone else’s infrastructure and is stored there. That is a different risk profile from a key that was never whole in one place. Neither model is fraudulent; they are simply not the same thing, and a single “self-custody: yes/no” column would hide the difference.
| Question | GDEX Pro | Bloom (Bloom Trading Bot) |
|---|---|---|
| Who generates the key? | Split across nodes at sign-in; never whole in one place | The bot, on its own infrastructure |
| Can you export it? | Yes, at any time | Yes — but it was generated and stored elsewhere first |
| Mechanism | MPC threshold key (exportable) | Bot-generated key |
Chains
Bloom lists Solana, Ethereum, BSC, Base, Robinhood Chain, HyperEVM — 6 chains against GDEX Pro’s 9 (Solana, Ethereum, Base, BNB, Arbitrum, Optimism, SUI, Sonic, Berachain).
Referrals
GDEX Pro pays 30% on direct referrals against Bloom’s 25%.
On the second tier, GDEX Pro pays 10% against Bloom’s 3%. If you are building a network rather than just trading your own size, that is where the compounding happens.
| Tier | GDEX Pro | Bloom (Bloom Trading Bot) |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 (direct referrals) | 30% | 25% |
| Level 2 (referrals of referrals) | 10% | 3% |
| Published structure | 2-tier: 30% + 10% | 3-level: L1 25%, L2 3%, L3 2% |

We could not source Bloom’s position on perpetual futures or a fiat or Apple Pay on-ramp. Those rows read “Not published” in the table above. That means we could not find it — not that Bloom lacks it. If Bloom publishes those figures, we will update this page.
Frequently asked questions
Is Bloom self-custodial?
The mechanism matters more than the label. Bloom (Bloom Trading Bot) uses a bot-generated key, which means the bot generates the wallet for you and that key lives in the bot operator’s infrastructure unless you manually export it. GDEX Pro uses an exportable MPC threshold key via Web3Auth, which means the key is split across multiple nodes and you can export it at any time.
What chains does Bloom support compared to GDEX Pro?
Bloom lists Solana, Ethereum, BSC, Base, Robinhood Chain, HyperEVM - 6 chains against GDEX Pro's 9 (Solana, Ethereum, Base, BNB, Arbitrum, Optimism, SUI, Sonic, Berachain).
Does Bloom support perpetual futures?
We could not source an answer. Bloom does not address perpetuals in the documentation we could reach, so we do not claim either way. GDEX Pro supports perpetuals via HyperLiquid.
Which has the better referral programme, GDEX Pro or Bloom?
GDEX Pro pays 30% on direct referrals against Bloom's 25%. On the second tier GDEX Pro pays 10% and Bloom pays 3%.

Verdict
If you want a Telegram-native workflow and your trading is concentrated where Bloom operates, Bloom is a legitimate tool and we are not going to pretend it is not. Understand what you are accepting: the key is generated and held on the operator’s side until you export it.
GDEX Pro’s case is narrow and checkable: an exportable MPC threshold key, so no single party ever holds your whole key; 9 chains from one interface; Google / Apple (Web3Auth) sign-in with an Apple Pay on-ramp; and 2-tier: 30% + 10% on referrals. Bloom beats us on a third referral level, where we publish two — that is in the tables above too. We have also not printed our own trading fee, because it is not in our source-of-truth file — check gdex.pro for the current schedule rather than taking a number from us.
