What is a Sniping Bot?

A sniping bot is an automated trading program that attempts to buy a token as soon as a chosen launch, liquidity, or trading event occurs. It combines event detection, transaction construction, and rapid submission to compete for an early execution position.

How does a Sniping Bot work?

The bot watches a launch contract, pool creation event, or trading-status change. Once its conditions are met, it checks the intended trade and submits a signed transaction through its configured execution route.

What should trading bot developers know about Sniping Bot?

Early execution does not guarantee a favorable price. Launch restrictions, transfer taxes, liquidity removal, and competing transactions can change the outcome. A launch-triggered purchase is not automatically a frontrunning trade.
