Anti-sniper mode
An optional fixed-price window at launch that makes being first in the block worthless.
Sniper bots make money by being first, buying the opening blocks of a hyped launch before humans can, then dumping on them. Anti-sniper mode removes their edge: for a window you choose, 60% of supply sells at the fixed launch price, so the first buyer and the thousandth pay exactly the same. Being fast buys nothing.
How it behaves
- You pick the window at launch: 15, 30, or 60 minutes. It is off by default; instant price discovery is the standard launch.
- During the window, buys fill from the reserved 60% at the launch price. Sells and normal AMM discovery begin when the window ends.
- The window can end early. If the reserved supply sells out before the timer, price discovery starts immediately. The 60% is sized so that only genuinely heavy demand gets there fast.
When to use it
- Use it when you’re announcing a launch in advance to a real audience, anywhere bots can see it coming.
- Skip it for spontaneous launches where you’re the first buyer anyway and want the chart moving from block one.
Like every launch-time setting, the choice is permanent for that coin and shown on the review screen before you sign.
On v3 tokens
v3 tokens use a different protection, the anti-snipe fee: there is no fixed-price window and the price moves freely from the first block, but buys right after trading opens pay a higher fee (up to 60%) that falls in a straight line to the normal buy fee within at most 10 minutes. Sells never pay it, and the extra fee is split like any other fee. It is on by default for v3 launches, at 10% falling over 5 minutes. See Anti-snipe fee.
