Memecoin sniper bots

A sniper bot watches for a token to launch or a pool to open and buys in the first blocks, faster than anyone clicking by hand. Most sniping today happens inside Telegram bots and terminals with an auto-buy setting, not standalone software.

Sniping is a race against other bots, and the losers often buy the top. It's also a favorite scam lure: "private sniper scripts" on GitHub and Telegram are a common way wallets get drained. Stick to the established tools below.

Sometimes, often not. You compete with other bots, pay priority fees, and many launches are rugs. Treat it as high risk.
