Historically, sniping new token launches has only been available to ultra-sophisticated actors, such as teams running advanced MEV trading strategies. Now, thanks to Alfredo Trade, you can snipe new token launches with ease directly from Telegram.
"Sniping" refers to a strategy or tactic where an individual or bot quickly executes a trade (often a purchase) immediately after a specific event or condition is met. The most common and profitable application of sniping is in the context of new token launches. On decentralized exchanges like Uniswap, when a new token is listed, there can be a rush to purchase the token before the price surges - especially when the token is hyped and many people want to buy simultaneously. Bots or individuals try to purchase these tokens as soon as they are listed.
When you want to snipe an upcoming token launch, you set up the snipe in the Alfredo Trade bot. You can only set up a snipe for a token/pool where trading is not yet active.
If you want to purchase an existing token, simply the
Buyfunctionality rather than snipe.
Alfredo Trade then monitors the blockchain mempool for a pending target transaction. A valid target transaction will be one where a buy transaction will be valid (will not revert) if executed directly after the target transaction. Common target transactions include:
Pool_creation/liquidity_add
Trading is un-paused
When Alfredo Trade sees a valid target transaction in the mempool, it will create a bundle with your snipe transaction directly after the target transaction and attempt to get that bundle landed on-chain. If multiple Alfredo Trade users are trying to snipe the same token, it will bundle all the snipes together, ordered by bribe amount. I.e. those who are willing to bribe more will buy first.
