Sniper Bot
An automated program that buys a new token at the instant it becomes tradeable — a launch, added liquidity, or listing — in the same block or within milliseconds, far faster than a human. It captures the cheapest first position on a bonding curve or thin new pool. A launch-time form of MEV, sniping is a capital- and infrastructure-intensive race that structurally disadvantages manual buyers, who often become the bots' exit liquidity.
