How to Stop sniper bots on my token

Whenever you launch a Liquidity Pool, sniper bots will show up trying to drain your token liquidity. If they pull it off, transactions can grind to a halt.

In this article, we’ll break down how these bots work and what you can do on the top blockchains to protect your project, just by connecting your wallet and clicking once.

How sniper bots work when you launch a liquidity pool

Sniper bots are built to attack newly created liquidity pools. As soon as the pool goes live, they buy tokens at the lowest possible price, push the price up fast, then sell for profit, leaving the price wrecked.

For investors, that is frustrating and creates a terrible experience. In seconds, bots can drain your liquidity, trigger a dump, and stop every transaction.

Anti-bot mechanisms

Fortunately, there are several ways to fight sniper bots. These are the most common strategies:

1. Buy limits per address: This stops a single address from buying large amounts of tokens within seconds.
2. Cooldown periods: Add a waiting period between transactions so the same bot cannot fire off multiple buys instantly.
3. Bundle Transaction: Combine the liquidity pool launch and the first buy into a single transaction. This gives you an edge over bots on Solana.

Next, I’ll show you how to apply these strategies without writing code, just by clicking a button. We’ll go case by case for each blockchain.

How to Prevent Snipers on Your token, Step by Step

Now I’ll show you how to prevent snipers on each blockchain, depending on where you launched your lp:

Prevent Snipers on Ethereum

Ethereum is one of the bots’ favorite battlegrounds, but you can defend your launch with simple tools like the ones we offer at Smithii:

1. Connect your wallet: From our anti-bot tool, connect your wallet on the Ethereum network.
2. Set your limits: Define a buy limit per address and set a minimum delay between transactions.
3. Disable anti-bot when needed: Choose the specific block where the anti-bot restrictions should turn off.

Done. Your token from ethereum is protected, and you can launch the lp on uniswap with confidence.

How to Stop Snipers on Base

On Base, the tool works almost the same way, with one small difference: here you can choose a whitelist to allow specific wallets to snipe.

1. Connect your wallet: Open our anti-bot tool and make sure you are on the Base network.
2. Select the token: Choose the token where you want to enable or disable anti-bot, and you are set.
3. Set up a whitelist: Add the wallets allowed to snipe the token if you need to.

Done. Anti-bot is now enabled on your token, so you can launch your Liquidity Pool on base with more confidence. You can enable or disable it anytime.

Prevent Snipers on Solana

Solana has its own rhythm, and bots are part of the game here too. But with one key move, you can get ahead of them before they even act.

The idea is to use a Bundle Transaction. In practice, that means becoming the first sniper of your own token. By combining pool creation and the first buy into a single transaction, you make sure you get in before the bots.

This lets you add liquidity gradually through a swap, making snipe less profitable for bots.

So, to do it properly, anti-sniper bot is applied when you create the Liquidity Pool.

Once you set the parameters for your Liquidity Pool, you can activate Snipe Your Token for 0.1 SOL and run the Bundle transaction that keeps bots from jumping in first.

Final Thoughts

You can’t eliminate sniper bots completely, but the right strategies can cut their impact significantly. Smithii tools let you add anti-bot mechanics without overcomplicating the process, whether you’re launching on Ethereum, Base, or Solana. Follow these steps and you’ll have more control over your token launch while giving investors a fairer experience. Now that you know how to protect yourself, it’s time to launch your token with confidence.
