Anti-bot mechanisms on Polygon: How to avoid sniping my Token

When we launch our token on Polygon (formerly MATIC), one question is: how many bots will try to snipe my token?

In almost any token or memecoin, we notice a huge initial hype that, in many cases, is not repeated. This is due to the coordinated activity of bots who, upon achieving their profit target, execute a massive sale.

An illustration explaining how sniper bots work on the Polygon blockchain. The candlestick chart describes the steps: 1) launching your LP on Polygon, 2) bots begin buying, 3) bots sell at the price peak, and 4) your liquidity is drained as the price falls. The Smithii logo appears at the bottom.

The activity of bots is unpredictable, but we can take measures to reduce its unwanted occurrence, either because it affects the community or is not relevant to the project.

Here I will explain how bots works, what are the anti-bots mechanisms and how you can fix it in less than a minute with the Smithii tool without programming.

Anti-Bots

There are two basic mechanisms to prevent the action of bots on a token:

  • Purchase Limits per wallet: Implements a maximum limit of tokens that a single address can purchase during a specific period.
  • Cooldown Periods: Sets a minimum interval between token purchases for the same address. As the bots mechanism works by performing many micro-transactions, this affects its operation.

Configuration of the Anti-Bot for Polygon

There are few alternatives on the market to protect a bots token without programming. To get started, go to the anti-bot tool at Smithii.
