Snipe

Buy your own new token from many wallets as soon as your launch goes live.

A Snipe launch task in the project wizard: the buy mode, the max supply and auto-start at launch. Nothing is saved.

Snipe is a Buy for your own launch. Its wallets all buy at once, as soon as the new token is live. You add it while you launch, so it is not in New task.

Before you start#

  • You are launching a token with the launch wizard or with Quick deploy.
  • You added trading wallets on the wizard's Wallets step. The dev wallet does not count as one.
  • Each wallet holds SOL (ETH on Robinhood Chain) for its buy, plus fees.

Add a Snipe to a launch#

  1. In the launch wizard, go to the Tasks step.
  2. Pick Snipe in the task list. If the step already has a task, press Add task first.
  3. Pick the wallets and a Buy mode. The modes work the same as in Buy.
  4. Optional: check your share of the token with the supply calculator (below).
  5. Keep Auto-start at launch on. The Snipe then buys as soon as the token is live. If you turn it off, the task waits for you to start it.
  6. Finish the wizard and press Create.
A Snipe on the Tasks step of the wizard

To add a Snipe to every Quick deploy, put it in a preset's launch tasks. See Quick deploy.

Key settings#

Snipe has the same settings as Buy, minus the waits. Every wallet buys at once.

  • Buy mode — how much each wallet spends. The default, Available balance (keeps fees), spends nearly all of each wallet's SOL.
  • Min wallet balance — wallets with less are skipped. Default 0.01 SOL.
  • Slippage — default 5%.
  • Supply guard and Max supply per wallet — the same limits as in Buy.
  • Buy with the dev wallet — off by default, so the dev wallet does not snipe.

The supply calculator#

The Snipe card can show what share of the token's supply your buys would get.

  1. Optional: type a Max supply in %. The launch then refuses a plan above it.
  2. Press Calculate supply %. The card lists each wallet's share and the running total.
  3. If a wallet would go past your max, press Apply capped amounts to trim it.
  4. After you change an amount, press Recalculate supply %.

The figure is a best case. It assumes no one else buys between your wallets. If another buyer lands first, you get less of the supply for the same SOL, never more. It is exact for pump.fun and pons. On other launchpads it is an estimate.

Snipe buys for real

When the launch goes live, the Snipe spends real SOL from every wallet. A buy that lands cannot be undone. Each buy pays the network fee and the platform fee. See Real funds & confirms.

pons launches

On pons, early buyers pay a snipe tax. Snipe wallets on your own pons launch do not pay it. One launch can shield at most 31 wallets. If you pick more, the wizard asks you to move some to a Buy task with a delay.

Snipe or Bundle?

On Solana, a Bundle with Auto-start at launch joins the launch itself. Its buys land together with the token's creation, or the launch does not happen. A Snipe buys right after the token is live, so another buyer may land first.

    Hard ceiling: a wallet already holding this % of supply is skipped instead of buying more. A mounted supply plan sets it. 0 = off.
