Memecoin sniper bots
A sniper is faster execution, not a better coin. Photon, Axiom, GMGN, Trojan. Typical fee ~1%. It will not save you from a rug.
A sniper buys the second a pair or curve is live. It makes you faster at buying a bad coin. It does not make the coin good. On Solana that race is priority fees and Jito. On Robinhood Chain it is sequencer order — not the same button.
What people actually open
| Tool | Surface | Published take | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Photon | Web | 1% per side | Manual speed. Memescope feed |
| Axiom | Web | 0.95% → 0.75% | Same desk you already trade on |
| GMGN | Web + TG | ~1% | Wallet-follow into a new pair |
| Trojan | Telegram | ~1% | Phone. You hand the bot a wallet |
| Banana Gun / Maestro | Telegram | Confirm live | ETH-style snipe culture, some Sol |
Full terminal compare: Axiom vs Photon vs GMGN. Confirm every fee on the product. Lists rot.
What a sniper cannot do
- It cannot see a freeze authority you skipped. Spot the rug first.
- It cannot beat a bundled first block. If 40% of supply is one desk, you are exit liquidity.
- It cannot buy DexScreener trending. Nobody honest sells that slot.
- It cannot put you #1 on DEX Ranks. That is a USD bid above whoever is there.
Robinhood Chain
Do not import Solana snipe settings and expect them to work. Different sequencer, ETH gas, Uniswap after Pons. Solana vs Robinhood Chain. If a site sells a “Robinhood volume bot,” that is wash flow — skip it.
