How to detect and avoid a Bundle Transaction in Solana: Skip Bundles

Some project developers take advantage of malicious techniques to manipulate prices and execute rug pulls. One such method is the bundle transaction.

If you are in the sniping business, understand how to identify these bundles. bundles will help you protect your capital. Below, I will explain exactly what a bundle transaction is, how to detect it and why Smithii s sniper bot with its "Skip Bundles" filter can be your best ally.

What is a Bundle Transaction?

A bundle transaction occurs when, in the same block in which the liquidity pool is created, the token (or pool) creator makes a large purchase of tokens. This artificial movement:

1. It suddenly raises the price, manipulating the token curve.

2. Catch snipers: When snipe bots automatically buy newly listed tokens, they find themselves with an inflated price.

3. Facilitates rug pull: Once the creator sees that the bots (or users) got in, he can withdraw the liquidity and leave investors with tokens that are worth much less.

The result is that those who buy during or just after this artificial rise end up with losses, while the creator makes a quick and often disastrous profit for the community.

How to detect a Bundle

If you want to analyze manually, you can use DEX Screener and look at the following:

1. Simultaneous transactions: Check if in the same block or fraction of a second large purchases were made. If the volume and number of transactions are abnormally high at the instant of adding liquidity, it is a sign of bundle transaction.

2. Exaggerated initial chart: In the first few seconds/minutes, the chart may show a vertical candlestick and a very pronounced price spike. This indicates that the originator bought a significant part of the supply.

3. Subsequent selling activity or remove liquidity: Often, after inflating the price, the creator takes the opportunity to execute a rug pull, withdrawing liquidity and causing an abrupt fall in the value.

3. Bulk purchase detection: If it detects a pattern of unusually large purchases right in the same block or second that liquidity was added, the bot classifies it as a bundle transaction.
