In this guide, you’ll learn how to snipe meme coins on Solana. Sniping, or buying new tokens immediately upon launch, lets you capture early growth and gain a significant edge over less experienced traders.

We’ll cover two main methods: sniping with an early contract address and without one. Additionally, we’ll discuss optimal settings for sniping new tokens. For both strategies, we’ll use the Pepeboost Telegram bot, this is the fastest and most reliable way to snipe Solana meme coins on Telegram.

How to Snipe Meme Coins On Solana with an Early Contract Address

This method is effective if you have access to the contract address before the token officially launches. While it’s not very common, sometimes the token’s developer will share the contract address in advance of the coin’s release.

Step 1: Access Pepeboost

Top Tip: Enable Auto-Buy in Pepeboost

To streamline the process, enable the auto-buy feature in Pepeboost settings. Consequently, when you forward a contract address, the bot will automatically purchase the token for you for your preset amount. This removes the need to select how much you want to purchase after forwarding the contract address.

Best Settings for Sniping Solana Meme Coins

Priority Fee

The priority fee impacts the speed at which your transaction is processed. For swift transactions, set it to 0.01 SOL. If the token launch is highly anticipated, consider increasing this fee to ensure your transaction is processed.

Slippage

Slippage refers to the difference between the expected price and the actual price when your trade is executed. Adjust your slippage according to the hype surrounding the token. For particularly popular launches, you might need to set slippage as high as 50% to guarantee that your transaction goes through.
