New tokens are most volatile in their first seconds. Sniper bots watch for launches or new pools and send a buy as fast as possible, before most people can react.
What affects results
- How quickly the bot sees the launch and lands its transaction.
- The priority fee or tip paid to get included.
- Slippage and buy amount settings.
- Risk of buying a token that cannot be sold.
Sniping is high risk and many snipes lose money. Compare tools on the sniper bots page.
