Sniper Bot

Automatically snipe new token launches on Solana DEXs. Configure your strategy, set your filters, and let the bot buy tokens the moment they launch.

🤔

What is Token Sniping?

Token sniping is the practice of automatically purchasing newly launched tokens as quickly as possible after they become available for trading. When a new token launches on a decentralized exchange (DEX), early buyers often have an advantage as the price may increase rapidly as more buyers enter.

Manual sniping is extremely difficult because:

You need to constantly monitor for new launches
Transaction speed is critical - seconds matter
You need to evaluate token safety quickly
Human reaction time can't compete with bots

The SMAUG Sniper Bot automates this entire process, monitoring for new tokens and executing buy transactions within milliseconds of a token launch, giving you a significant edge over manual traders.

⚙️

How SMAUG Sniper Works

The SMAUG Sniper Bot operates in several stages:

Monitor Liquidity Pools

Continuously watches for new token pools being created

Apply Filters

Checks token against your configured safety filters

Execute Buy

Sends a fast buy transaction with MEV protection

Monitor & Auto-Sell

Tracks price and auto-sells at TP or SL targets

🔄

Supported DEXs

SMAUG Sniper supports the major Solana decentralized exchanges:

Configuration Options

The sniper bot offers extensive configuration options organized into four main categories.

Wallet Setup

Configure how the bot connects to your trading wallet.

Option	Description	Default
Master Wallet	Use your connected SMAUG master wallet (recommended for security)	Enabled
Custom Wallet	Provide a separate private key for trading	-
Standard RPC	Free RPC endpoint, adequate for most use cases	Selected
Turbo gRPC	Premium 95% faster execution (+0.25 SOL)	-
Custom RPC	Use your own RPC endpoint (Helius, Triton, etc.)	-

Buying Settings

Configure how the bot executes buy transactions.

Option	Description	Default
Transaction Executor	Jito Bundles (MEV-protected) or Standard submission	Jito
Buy Amount	Amount of SOL to spend per snipe (0.01 - 10+ SOL)	0.01 SOL
Buy Slippage	Maximum allowed price deviation (higher = faster execution)	40%

✅

Slippage Tip

Higher slippage means your transaction is more likely to succeed during volatile launches, but you may pay a slightly worse price. 40% is a good balance for most snipes.

Selling Settings

Configure automatic selling behavior.

Option	Description	Default
Auto-Sell	Enable automatic selling when TP/SL targets are hit	On
Take Profit (TP)	Sell when token gains this % in value	15%
Stop Loss (SL)	Sell when token loses this % in value	40%
Sell Slippage	Maximum slippage allowed for sell transactions	40%
Price Check Interval	How often to check token price for TP/SL	2 min
Auto-Sell Delay	Minimum time to hold before allowing auto-sell	2 min

Token Filters

Filters help protect you from potentially risky tokens. The bot will skip tokens that don't match your filter criteria.

Option	Description	Default
Freezable	Skip if token authority can freeze transfers	Off
Mintable	Skip if more tokens can be minted (inflation risk)	Off
Immutable	Only buy if metadata is locked (can't be changed)	On
LP Bundled	Skip if liquidity was bundled with launch	Off
Has Socials	Only buy if token has Twitter/Telegram/Website	Off
Min Pool (SOL)	Minimum liquidity pool size to consider	5 SOL
Max Pool (SOL)	Maximum liquidity pool size to consider	500 SOL
Max Dev Wallet	Skip if developer holds more than this % of supply	10%

⚠️

Filter Trade-offs

Stricter filters mean safer tokens but fewer opportunities. Very strict settings may cause you to miss legitimate launches that don't meet all criteria.

Step-by-Step Guide

Follow these steps to start sniping tokens:

Navigate to the Sniper Page

Go to /sniper or select "Sniper" from the navigation menu. Choose your target DEX (Pump.fun, Raydium, Meteora, or Letsbonk).

Configure Your Wallet

Click the "Configure" button to open settings. Under the Wallet tab, select your Master Wallet or enter a custom private key. Choose your RPC type.

Set Buy Parameters

Under the Buying tab, set your buy amount and slippage. Choose between Jito Bundles (recommended) or Standard transaction execution.

Configure Auto-Sell

Under the Selling tab, enable Auto-Sell and set your Take Profit and Stop Loss percentages. Adjust the price check interval as needed.

Apply Filters

Under the Filters tab, configure token safety checks. Enable filters that match your risk tolerance, or use a Quick Strategy preset.

Start Sniping

Click "Start Sniper" to begin. The bot will monitor for new token launches and automatically execute buys that match your criteria.

Tips & Best Practices

✅

RPC Quality

Use a quality RPC endpoint for better success rates. Free RPCs often have rate limits and slower response times. Consider Helius, Triton, or QuickNode for best results.

✅

Start Small

Begin with small buy amounts (0.01-0.05 SOL) while learning how the bot behaves. Increase position sizes once you're comfortable with the system.

✅

Monitor Your Session

Check the Live Feed regularly to understand what tokens are being bought and skipped. This helps you fine-tune your filters for better results.

⚠️

Risk Management

Never snipe with more than you can afford to lose. Token launches are highly volatile and many new tokens fail or rug. Diversify across multiple snipes.

💡

DEX Selection

Different DEXs have different characteristics. Pump.fun is best for meme tokens, Raydium for established projects, and Meteora for advanced liquidity strategies.
