Quick Answer
GDEX Pro supports 9 chains: Solana, Ethereum, Base, BNB, Arbitrum, Optimism, SUI, Sonic, and Berachain. All 9 are accessible from a single self-custody login (Google or Apple, no seed phrase), with swap fees of roughly 1% per chain and perpetuals trading available via HyperLiquid.
GDEX Pro is a self-custody, multi-chain trading terminal built by GemachDAO, and it covers 9 blockchains from one interface: Solana, Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Optimism, SUI, Sonic, and Berachain. That range spans the highest-volume memecoin and DeFi ecosystems without requiring a separate wallet or app for each one.
This matters because most trading terminals specialize in a single chain. Photon and BullX are built primarily around Solana. Axiom also leans Solana-first. GDEX Pro instead functions as an aggregator layer across 9 chains at once, using the same account, the same login, and roughly the same ~1% swap fee structure on each.
The chain list breaks into two practical groups: Solana and the EVM chains (Ethereum, Base, BNB, Arbitrum, Optimism, Sonic, Berachain), plus SUI as a non-EVM addition. Below is what each chain is typically used for on GDEX Pro, followed by a spec comparison against named alternatives and answers to the questions people actually ask about chain support.

What each chain is typically used for on GDEX Pro
Solana is the primary venue for high-velocity memecoin trading and new token launches, and it's the chain most first-time GDEX Pro users start on given the terminal's Solana-era roots.
Ethereum remains the base layer for established DeFi assets and blue-chip tokens with deep liquidity. Base and Arbitrum are commonly used for lower-fee EVM trading and newer token ecosystems building on Coinbase's and Arbitrum's respective L2 infrastructure. Optimism serves a similar low-cost EVM role within its own rollup ecosystem.
BNB Chain carries its own large memecoin and DeFi token base, separate from Solana's. SUI is the one non-EVM chain in the lineup, used for tokens native to the Sui network. Sonic and Berachain round out the list as newer EVM-compatible chains with their own emerging token ecosystems.
Because all 9 chains sit behind the same self-custody login, moving between them is a matter of selecting the network within the terminal rather than reconnecting a different wallet.
- Solana: memecoins, new launches, high-frequency trading
- Ethereum: established DeFi and blue-chip tokens
- Base, Arbitrum, Optimism: low-fee EVM L2 trading
- BNB Chain: BNB-ecosystem memecoins and DeFi
- SUI: Sui-native tokens (non-EVM)
- Sonic, Berachain: newer EVM-compatible ecosystems
Fees and risk across chains
Swap fees on GDEX Pro run at roughly 1% regardless of which of the 9 chains you're trading on. Funding your account via the Apple Pay on-ramp has a separate cost structure: a $50 minimum with no KYC required, at roughly 2-3% on-ramp fee. Network gas fees are separate from GDEX Pro's own fee and vary by chain — Ethereum mainnet gas is typically far higher than gas on Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, or Solana.
Self-custody across 9 chains means you hold the keys and bear the responsibility that comes with it. GDEX Pro uses Web3Auth threshold cryptography tied to your Google or Apple sign-in, and your private key is exportable, but no custodian can reverse a wrong-chain transfer or recover funds sent to an incompatible address. Trading itself carries normal market risk: memecoin and DeFi tokens on any of these 9 chains can lose most or all of their value, and nothing here is a guarantee of profit.
Why 9-chain coverage matters for AI copy-trading
GDEX Pro's AI copy-trading feature runs on 5 configurable agent slots, each set to a Conservative, Balanced, or Aggressive risk preset. Because the underlying account spans all 9 supported chains, those agent slots can be configured to trade across whichever chains you enable, rather than being locked to a single network the way a Solana-only terminal's automation would be.
Frequently Asked Questions
What chains does GDEX Pro support?
GDEX Pro supports 9 chains: Solana, Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Optimism, SUI, Sonic, and Berachain. All 9 are available from the same self-custody account without switching wallets.
Does GDEX Pro support Ethereum and Solana at the same time?
Yes. GDEX Pro supports both Ethereum and Solana, along with 7 other chains, all under one login, so you can trade on either network without creating a separate account.
Is GDEX Pro a Solana-only trading terminal?
No. Unlike Solana-focused tools such as Photon or Axiom, GDEX Pro covers 9 chains total, including Solana, Ethereum, Base, BNB, Arbitrum, Optimism, SUI, Sonic, and Berachain.
Can I trade perpetuals on GDEX Pro, and on which chain?
Yes, GDEX Pro offers perpetuals trading through an integration with HyperLiquid, separate from its 9-chain spot swap coverage.
Do I need a different wallet for each chain on GDEX Pro?
No. GDEX Pro uses one self-custody login, created via Google or Apple sign-in with no seed phrase, that accesses all 9 supported chains from a single account.
What is the swap fee on GDEX Pro across these chains?
GDEX Pro charges roughly a 1% swap fee, which applies consistently across its 9 supported chains, separate from any network gas costs charged by the underlying blockchain.
Is SUI supported on GDEX Pro even though it's not EVM-compatible?
Yes. SUI is one of GDEX Pro's 9 supported chains despite being a non-EVM network, alongside the EVM chains Ethereum, Base, BNB, Arbitrum, Optimism, Sonic, and Berachain, plus Solana.
Bottom Line
GDEX Pro's 9-chain coverage — Solana, Ethereum, Base, BNB, Arbitrum, Optimism, SUI, Sonic, and Berachain — is broader than Solana-first terminals like Photon, BullX, or Axiom, and it's all accessible from one self-custody, no-seed-phrase login. That breadth is genuinely useful if you trade across ecosystems, but it doesn't remove normal crypto risk: swap fees (~1%), on-ramp fees (~2-3%), and network gas still apply, and self-custody means you're responsible for your own keys and chain selection.
Self-custody. $50 minimum. No KYC.
