Token sniping refers to the practice of buying a new token as soon as it becomes tradable. On solanatools.io, this typically happens in two scenarios:
Pump.fun launches: A new token is created on Pump.fun with a bonding curve. Snipers aim to buy in the first seconds of the bonding curve when the price is at its lowest. The bonding curve mechanism means the price automatically increases with each purchase, so being early translates directly to a better entry price.
Raydium pool creation: A new liquidity pool is created on Raydium DEX. This is the classic sniping scenario -- liquidity goes live in a specific block, and snipers compete to be in that same block or the very next one. These snipes are extremely competitive and speed-dependent.
A sniper bot automates this process. It monitors the blockchain for new token launches, applies your configured filters (to avoid scams), and submits buy transactions at maximum speed. The best bots can detect a new token and submit a buy transaction within the same block.
