How to snipe meme coins in Solana (Complete Guide)

If what you want is to make meme coins snipe in an easy and uncomplicated way, with filters that allow you to buy first the tokens that go on sale, this is your post.

The number of LP (Liquidity Pool) that are launched per day is almost innumerable, that's why automating a program to buy in all of them is a solution that can fill us with money (if we do it right, of course).

In this article,  We will show you how to do sniping of meme coins both in liquidity pools in general and also in the platform Pump Fun. Both are 0.1 SOL and you can do both at the same time with the same wallet if you wish. Let's go in parts.

What is the sniping of meme coins?

Sniping of meme coins is a technique used by bots to detect and take advantage of opportunities to buy and sell tokens in the early stages of a liquidity pool.

A sniper bot automates this process, buying memecoins tokens as soon as a new liquidity pool is launched and selling them when certain predefined parameters are met, such as a profit percentage or a number of transactions.

This software is currently widely used due to the high speed of buying and selling meme coins in general. In that sense, a faster RPC for meme coins in Solana is essential to get the first orders, before other snipers get ahead. Whoever buys and sells first, usually makes the most profit.

There are different ways to do liquidity pools sniping, either on the Solana network or on specific platforms such as Pump Fun. Below, I explain how to do it step by step in both options.

Option A: Snipe Meme coins at Solana

Sniping liquidity pools on Solana involves detecting the exact moment when a new liquidity pool is launched on the network. Using a bot that allows you to perform this process without programming is key to simplifying the process and ensuring that you act quickly.

Steps to sniping liquidity pools in general:

1. Connect to the sniping bot: Go to the Smithii sniping bot and connect your wallet. It’s recommended to create a dedicated wallet for these operations for increased security.
2. Configure the connection: Select the appropriate RPC (Remote Procedure Call) to optimize transaction speed. You can use Solana's public RPC or the premium RPC for an additional cost, which will allow you to execute more queries per second and have a higher speed.
3. Configure the token purchase: Define the total amount of SOL you want to spend on each token. Also set the slippage, which is the maximum percentage difference you can tolerate between the price detected by bot and the actual purchase price.
4. Configure the sale of tokens: Define when the bot should sell the tokens. You can set a profit percentage (take profit), a stop loss limit (stop loss) or a maximum time to keep the tokens (enforced selling).
5. Activate filters: You can use filters to select the most trusted liquidity pools, checking if the creator has applied permissions such as revoke freeze, revoke mint or revoke update.
6. Start sniping: Once all the parameters are configured, start the bot to start detecting and buying tokens in the Solana liquidity pools.

Option B: Sniping of meme coins in Pump Fun

Pump Fun is a platform where thousands of memecoins are launched daily.

Sniping in Pump Fun is similar to the general process, but with some key differences. Here, you can automate the buying and selling of tokens directly on this platform using a specialized Pump Fun bot

Steps for liquidity pools sniping at Pump Fun:

1. Connect to bot from Pump Fun: Access bot from Pump Fun and connect your wallet using the private key. It is recommended to use a separate wallet for this type of transactions.
2. Configure the connection: As on Solana, select the appropriate RPC to optimize transaction speed. You can use Solana's public RPC or choose the premium RPC for an additional cost to gain a competitive advantage in speed.
3. Configure the purchase of tokens: In the purchase section, define the total amount of SOL that you will use to purchase tokens from each liquidity pool. Be sure to also set the maximum amount of tokens you wish to hold at one time. This will help you control bot 's exposure to multiple tokens, reducing risk.
4. Configure the token sale: You can configure bot to sell tokens automatically after a certain number of transactions or when you reach a certain percentage of profit. This is crucial on Pump Fun, where memecoins can be very volatile and rug pulls are frequent.
5. Manage risk: Due to the high frequency of rug pulls on Pump Fun, adjust the number of transactions to a low value to reduce prolonged exposure to a particular liquidity pool.
6. Start sniping: Once you have configured all the buy, sell and connection parameters, activate bot to start sniping at Pump Fun. The bot will automatically detect new liquidity pools of memecoins and execute the purchases and sales according to the parameters you have defined.

Comparison between sniping on Solana and sniping in Pump Fun

Although the sniping process on Solana and Pump Fun is similar in terms of basic principles, there are some important differences to take into account.

At Pump Fun, it is crucial to fine tune the few parameters we have due to the large number of rug pulls. Setting transaction limits and shorter times can help you avoid losses.

on Solana, the risks of rug pulls are also present, but the selection process can be more controlled because we have more parameters.

On the other hand, sniping at Pump Fun can be very profitable if set up correctly due to the high trading volume, but it also involves more risk.

FAQ

At Smithii we are experts in all things token and meme coin related, includingbot snipers . We answer hundreds of questions every day and have grouped some of the most frequently asked questions below.

How do I run a meme coins sniper bot in Solana de Smithii?

Go to the Smithii sniping bot and connect your wallet. Set up the connection (we recommend using our Premium RPC as it’s the fastest). Set parameters for both selling and buying. Click on «Run Sniper» after adding the liquidity pool filters, and the sniper bot will start running.

Can I lose money if I use a meme coinsniper bot ?

While there is no guarantee that you will make money, you can modify the buying and selling parameters to reduce possible losses. Nowadays, rug pull is in favor of the day and it is impossible to know which meme coins are totally reliable. However, Smithii has the necessary filters to make transactions as secure as possible.

Is it important to have a fast RPC?

Yes, without a doubt. The faster you can buy, the lower the price at which you do it and if it goes up, you will be the first to sell, anticipating the behavior of other investors or bots.

Conclusion

Sniping liquidity pools of memecoin is a powerful technique that, when executed correctly, can generate significant profits. In both Solana and Pump Fun, the key is to correctly adjust the bot parameters to maximize speed and minimize risk. Good luck with your sniping!
