Sniper

Sniper lets you pre-arm a buy that fires automatically when a new token matching your criteria launches. You configure it once; the backend executes when the condition is met.

Solana only. Available from the Pulse feed.

::: info Not the same as "sniper %" Sniper (arm-sniper) is a trade trigger — it buys for you when a new launch hits. The sniper % metric on a trade page shows how much of a token's supply is held by wallets that sniped it at launch. Different things. Same word. Don't confuse them. :::

How to arm a snipe

From Pulse:

Open a token row's action menu, or tap Snipe.
The snipe modal opens.
Fill in the buy amount, criteria, and any trade settings (slippage, priority fee).
Confirm.

Once armed, the snipe sits in the queue. When a matching token launches, it fires without further input.

What gets configured

Input	What it does
Buy amount	How much SOL to spend per fire
Criteria	The match conditions that trigger the buy
Slippage	Max acceptable slippage on the auto-buy
Priority fee	Validator tip for fast inclusion

Configure snipe settings like you would any other spot buy — the same preferences apply. See Your first trade for the full breakdown of slippage and priority fee behavior.

When it fires

The sniper hooks into the same pipeline that powers Pulse. When a new token lands and matches your criteria, the armed snipe submits a market buy through the trading backend.

Inclusion is subject to Solana network conditions — priority fee matters.
Slippage behaves exactly like a manual market buy. Too tight and the snipe reverts; too loose and you may overpay.
First-time buy costs (Solana account creation) still apply. Keep a small buffer beyond the buy amount in your active wallet.

What it doesn't do

No market-cap or price triggers for existing tokens. Sniper fires on new launches. For conditional entries on tokens that already exist, use limit orders (web only).
No cross-chain sniping. Solana only.
No copy-sniping from a watched wallet. Sniper is independent of Wallet Tracker — it doesn't trigger because another wallet bought.
No automatic take-profit or stop-loss. Sniper places the entry; exits are manual or via limit orders.

Safety before you arm

Sniper bypasses the usual "open the trade page, review, buy" flow. Treat it accordingly:

Know your wallet balance. A fire that can't pay gas will just fail; a fire that drains your wallet is on you.
Use a reasonable buy amount. Snipes fire fast and can fire on tokens you'd reject after inspection.
Review Token analytics once the buy lands — sniper fires on launch, before safety metrics are mature.
Manage exits. Sniper doesn't sell for you. Check your position in Portfolio and sell manually or set a limit.

Canceling or editing an armed snipe

Armed snipes are managed from the snipe modal. Opening it again shows the current armed state; cancel or edit there.

Troubleshooting

Snipe didn't fire on a token I expected. The token didn't match your criteria, or didn't pass through the indexed launchpads Interstate watches. See Pulse for which launchpads are supported.

Snipe fired and the buy failed. Check your wallet balance (buy amount plus fees), slippage (too tight on a fast-moving launch), or priority fee (too low for network congestion).

Snipe fired on a token I don't want. Tighten your criteria. Consider lowering the buy amount for sniper trades so mistakes are bounded.
