Sniper bots front-run $BURN launches — they buy the first blocks and dump on retail. Defending against snipers protects your launch arc.
Snipe defense playbook
- Pre-fund Vol Bot — workers fund + warm up BEFORE deploy. First 30 seconds of activity matters most.
- Strategy: micro-trade — workers join the first-block trade flow, making it harder for snipers to dominate the early candle.
- Multi-wallet — 10+ wallets in the first minute dilutes the "single buyer = sniper" pattern.
- Pump.fun bonding curve — bonding curve nature means snipers pay more per token at their position — Vol Bot's spread-out activity makes the sniper bid less efficient.
