Snipes: buy a new token the moment it launches

In short

A snipe waits for a token launch in advance and buys the token as soon as that becomes possible. A deployer snipe watches a creator's wallet and buys every new token it launches. A token snipe waits until a specific token gets a pool and buys it at that moment.

How it works

There are two kinds of snipes.

Deployer snipe. You give the wallet of a deployer, the one who creates tokens. When it creates a new token, the bot buys it on the platforms you chose:

• if the token launches on a launchpad with a curve (Blum, TopBlast, Uranus and others), the bot buys it on the curve;
• if it is a regular token, the bot waits until it gets a pool on a DEX and buys at that moment.

A deployer snipe works until you stop it and can fire many times: on every new token of that wallet.

Token snipe. You give the address of a token that has no pool yet. As soon as a pool appears on DeDust, STON.fi, TONCO or moon.cx, the bot buys the token. A token snipe fires once; after that its status is «✔️ Fired».

You can simply send an address in the snipes menu, and the bot figures out whether it is a wallet or a token.

How to create a snipe

1. Open snipes

In the main menu, tap 🎯 Snipes. «Manage snipes» opens with the list of your snipes.

Tap 👤 Deployer snipe or 🪙 Token snipe and send the address. For a deployer, a wallet address (UQ…, EQ…) or a name.ton domain works.

Another way to a token snipe: send the bot the address of a token that has no market yet. The bot opens the «Token snipe» window with this address right away.

2. Set up the snipe window

• 👤 Deployer or 🪙 Token: change the address.
• 🏷 Name: your own label for the snipe, up to 24 characters. Optional.
• 👛 Wallets: which wallets buy. You can pick wallets one by one or a whole bundle. At least one wallet must stay selected.
• 🏪 Platforms: where to catch launches. A deployer snipe offers Stonks, Stonks STON.fi, Blum, TopBlast, Uranus, Groypad, Grambo, moon.cx Launchpad, DeDust, STON.fi, TONCO and moon.cx. In your first deployer snipe DeDust, STON.fi and Blum are ticked; after that the bot takes the platforms from your last snipe of the same kind. A token snipe offers the DEXes: DeDust, STON.fi, TONCO and moon.cx. There is a «Select all» button.
• 💎 Amount: how much GRAM to spend from each wallet. Quick buttons: 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10.
• 🍌 with the slippage value: the buy slippage, 0.01 to 100%. Quick buttons: 5, 10, 20, 50, 100%. The default comes from «Settings» → «Slippage» → «Sniper» (10% unless you changed it).

At the bottom of the window there is a «Hint»: the bot says what is still missing, or «All set – tap «Launch»».

3. Advanced settings (optional)

Tap ⚙️ Advanced.

• 💧 Min liquidity: what percent of all tokens must sit in the pool, 0 to 100. If less, the buy is skipped. Not checked on launchpad curves. 0 means no limit.

• 💥 Max impact: how much the buy may move the price (price impact), 0 to 100%. If more, the buy is skipped. 0 means no limit.

• Auto-sell. What to do with what was bought:

  • 🔴 Off: nothing, the tokens stay with you;
  • ⚡️ At once: sell right after the buy is confirmed;
  • 📊 At ×X: sell when the price grows X times from your own buy price (above 1 and up to 1000; quick buttons ×2, ×3, ×5, ×10);
  • ⏳ After a delay: sell a set time after the buy, from 1 second to 6 hours (for example 30s, 5m, 2h).

  The auto-sell also has ⬇️ Sell N% (how much of what was bought to sell, default 100%) and 🍌 Slippage N% for the sell (default: the same as the buy).

The auto-sell sells only what this snipe bought.

4. Launch

Tap 🚀 Launch. Before launching, the bot checks that everything is filled in and that each wallet has enough GRAM for the buy and the network fee. If not, it shows a list of problems, for example «wallet W1 has 0.30 GRAM – not enough for the buy».

If the token of a token snipe is already trading, the bot says «This token is already trading» and offers ↗️ Go to trading, which is the regular token card.

After the launch the bot shows «🚀 Snipe launched» and the snipe card.

The bot takes the settings of a new snipe from your last launched snipe (amount, wallets, advanced settings), so you do not have to type them every time. The slippage of a new snipe comes from your settings, while 📋 Copy carries it over with everything else.

What happens when it fires

When a snipe fires, the bot sends «🎯 Snipe sent»: the token and platform, the token address (CA), the creator's wallet (Dev wallet), how much the creator bought at launch (Deploy amount), the token fee (Tax) when known, and the amount like «1 GRAM × 2 wallets». The result for each wallet comes as a separate swap message.

Buttons: Buy and Sell open a swap, Token opens the explorer, Hide removes the message.

If a snipe skipped a token, you get «Snipe skipped» with the reason: for example the platform is off in the snipe, too few tokens in the pool, or the price impact is above the limit.

Sometimes a buy goes out before the pool or the curve is ready to accept it. Then the funds come back to the wallet, and the bot says so in the swap message. Only the network fee is spent.

Managing snipes

In the «Manage snipes» list each snipe shows its name or address, the amount × the number of wallets, and its status:

• ✅ active, watching for deploys;
• ⏳ waiting for a pool (a token snipe, or a deployer's token without a pool);
• ⏸ paused;
• ✔️ fired (a token snipe).

Tap a snipe to open its card: status, how many times it fired, settings, and «📋 Latest tokens» (up to 5): ✅ bought, ❌ not bought, ⏭ skipped (with the reason), ⏳ waiting for a pool.

• ⏸ Pause and ▶️ Resume: switch the snipe off for a while and back on.
• ✏️ Edit: open the settings window. Changes apply only when you tap 💾 Save. Cancel leaves the snipe as it was.
• 📋 Copy: a new snipe with the same settings; you only send the address.
• 🗑 Delete: the snipe stops watching. The tokens it bought stay in your wallets.
• ⛔️ Stop all (in the list): stop all active and paused snipes at once.

Good to know

• You can have up to 20 snipes, active and paused together.
• The amount is per wallet: 1 GRAM on 3 wallets means 3 buys of 1 GRAM.
• If a token matches both a snipe and an autosnipe, both buy it.
• Snipes are not available for wallets connected via TonConnect: the buy must go out instantly without you, while such a wallet asks you to approve every trade.
• Every buy and sell costs gas.

Troubleshooting

«Max 20 snipes» Delete or stop the snipes you no longer need.

«❌ Snipe not launched» with a list of reasons. Fix what the list says: set the address or the amount, select wallets or top up a wallet.

«❌ This is a token address, not a wallet – use «Token snipe» for it» You sent a token address to a deployer snipe. Use 🪙 Token snipe.

«This token is already trading» The token already has a market, there is nothing to snipe. Tap ↗️ Go to trading and buy it the usual way.

A deployer snipe has not fired for a long time. Check that the right platforms are ticked and the snipe is not paused. If the deployer launches on a platform you turned off, the snipe skips it.
