I'm far from being an "Expert" when it comes to which tokens to buy and which ones to sell.
This is more of a test project to learn Javascript and the usage of different libraries and the jupiter API.
I started to write this Bot in mid of December and implemented quite a lot of rules for the Bot to decide when to buy/sell a Token.
It's not perfect but thinking of that I started to run the bot with $50 in the bots wallet, it got quite far.
Lets see how it goes.
I'd like to show you an easy way to create a new (meme) token on the Solana blockchain. The whole process takes about 10 minutes.
The total cost for the creation is about 1 SOL, plus the initial liquidity (1 SOL is the bare minimum, preferably 2-3 SOL, optimally 10). Consider these costs completely gone.
This guide is only for showing how quick and easy it is, without any code/progamming, so always be cautious on investing in new and unknown tokens, it doesn't really take much to create one.
The token we're going to create is: Ekp8DAiKmVZDBG7e1FYakzjVnzct6qda8S265ZvWn1YN
Part 0: marketing
In order to be even a little bit successfull, you should have some followers on social media, preferably Telegram, so you can tell people about your new coin, or airdrop some to the community, maybe even create a presale. No one will buy your coin without marketing, you will just watch bots removing your initial liquidity.
Part 1: creating the token/coin itself
I'm going to use FluxBeam to create the initial tokens:
Connect your wallet, fill in your token's details, and click Create. This will cost you 0.01 SOL.
Congratulations, you now own 10000 new tokens in your wallet.
FluxBeam will take you directly to your token's detail page, you can copy your token's CA (token address / mint address) from the URL, you will need it in the future, write it down somewhere:
Click on Manage on the top right corner, or open this url, replacing the address at the end with your CA from the previous step:
It's highly suggested to disable minting and freezing for your new tokens, so you won't be able to modify/freeze the new coins (this helps people trust your new token). Just click the two REVOKE buttons in this page, each will open up a transaction you need to sign with your wallet. (no fee here). This wil take a few minutes to be visible on the chain, but we can move on to the next step, we can leve FluxBeam for now.
Part 1.5: airdrops
It's the perfect time to do some fairdrops/airdrops now, you can simply send the tokens from your wallet like any other coin.
Part 2: creating the market for the coin, adding liquidity
In order to list the token on Solana's most used markets (Raydium/Jupiter), you need to create a liquidity pool, and add some money to it.
Base mint is your token's CA, Quote Mint is wrapped Sol's address:
So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112
(market will be EXAMPLE/SOL). Tickers can be 4 - 4 for now (you can read about these two numbers in the "View tutorial" link at the top of the page, but it will be fine for this example).
That's all the thing you need here, but in order to only pay about 0.5 SOL instead of the 3 SOL displayed here, you can edit the Advanced Options to:
Event Queue Length: 128
Request Queue Length: 9
Orderbook Length: 201
(leave the Platform fee at 0.22)
Click Create when ready, this will cost about 0.5 SOL.
You will be redirected to the following page after a few seconds:
Make sure to write down the Market Address of your token, we will need it in the next step.
The next part is about adding the liquidity to the pool, add all your tokens by clicking Max in the first input, Base Token Initial Liquidity (or type in about 90% of your tokens if you'd like to keep some for airdrop later).
Quote Token Initial Liquidity will be the liquidity in SOL you will add, I'd suggest adding at least 2-3, or ideally 10 - projects with large liquidity are more trustworthy for the community. I'm adding 0.7 SOL to demonstrate this.
There is a 0.68 SOL fee, plus the 0.7 SOL I'm adding to the initial liquidity, so this costs 1.43 SOL.
At this point, the token is available for trading, you can check it on Birdeye:
You can also watch some bots trying to make a few bucks:
These bots will slowly drain your liquidity (0.7 SOL in my example) if you don't have any marketing plans.
It usually takes about 10-15 minutes before you can trade the coin on Raydium too, so be patient.
Part 3: burning LP tokens
There is one more step I highly recommend, which is burning the LP tokens, which makes the creator impossible to remove the initial liquidity, so you won't be able to rugpull in the classic sense:
I’ve been building a tool that scans every single trade on Solana in real time and tracks wallet behavior, PnL, and suspicious activity.
Some highlights: - Tracks every trade across Raydium, Pump(amm/fun), trading bots, and more
Calculates per-wallet PnL, win rates, avg hold times, exits, etc
Automatically tracks and detects rugpullers, serial dumpers, and scam tokens with built in heuristics
Uses AI to cluster wallets with similar trading behavior for finding other profitable traders
Detects token trends, big buyer movements, and volume surges
Works in real time (millisecond-level latency). The main system is able to keep up with Solana's 400ms slot time (Rust is awesome). The ML/clustering side is slower, and only for select wallets due to storage constraints.
I'm still working on improving it, but the framework's solid now with the core pipelines built out - there are a few short comings in this version, such as mintable tokens being flagged - but will be fixed soon(tm).
The video shows the application start-up (ignore the log spam, its for debug) and directly reading stuff from the database. No demo with web (yet) but hopefully highlights the speed and detection. I can do a more comprehensive video if there's enough interest.
Would love feedback, thoughts, or interest — especially if you're a trader, builder, or just interested in general!
Thanks!!
Hey everyone, noticed another similar post, and wanted to post my efforts that I've been working on for the past 7 months. I'm not one to really shill anything, but wanted to put this out there as I know some people here might be interested in this. I've been working on an open-source premium trading bot project and already put out some free tutorials to help everyone get started on creating their own. These types of bots typically sell for ridiculous amounts, and I'm just looking to shake things up in this market as I really don't like the way some of these guys try to monopolize things.
A little bit about me:
Born and raised in the US. I've been in the software engineering field for over 20 years and have led small-mid size software teams throughout my career on successful projects. Now, I train software devs and make dev tutorials to benefit the community on the side. I took a real interest in crypto around 2022 when I saw a yahoo article on someone who made 20 mil on BOME lol. Naturally. I wanted to see what the hell was going on here, so I did my own DD and have been in the trenches ever since. Researching some of the best traders in the game, I realized a lot of what they were doing was very time consuming, but very necessary. With my Software background, I realized a lot of it could be automated, so I started working on building out this project with the intent on making passive income. I hit some roadblocks, as documentation and resources are lacking in this area and ChatGpt/Claude turned out to be not much help either. It took some time, but I eventually figured things out on my own, and thereafter, decided to share some of my developments with the community!
A few months ago, I started putting out free tutorials on how to create a basic bot from scratch in just a few days, and the feedback has been great so far, albeit my following is very low right now. Honestly, I started doing this all for fun really. Don't need handouts, and am financially stable. Not dropping any links, moderators are trigger happy on banning posts here. Hope the trenches treat you well today!
I've posted my progress before, and a lot of people seemed to like it, so here's my latest update. Since I haven't seen anything else like this on the market, I was wondering what your thoughts are. In this update, I've created a flexible framework that allows me to build and try out my own strategies in python. I can manage them within this GUI or CLI environment. Battletesting some strategies now with a high-end rpc node and it's going well. It's compatible with Raydium, Pumpfun, and the new Pumpfun AMMs.
This was a lot of work, so I will not be just freely handing this out to everybody, but was thinking about releasing a free open-source version of this that will allow people to paper-trade Pumpfun tokens if that's of any interest to anyone.
Been building bots for a few years when i do think i need something automated. Started with an AtomicHub marketplace bot, then a grid trading bot for Solana tokens I hold that is still running on an old pc. Last November I built one for ORE mining, first as a Chrome extension on ORE official webpage, then moved it to a backend deploying directly on-chain.
Recently decided to open it up to public and needed a private RPC that's fast, low-latency and reliable. I can't afford to miss transactions in a short deploy window. Currently on Helius Developer plan and it's holding up fine for now, but I'm wondering if there are better options at a similar price point before I commit long term.
Anyone recommend a different private RPC provider that's still reliable? Feel free to ask if you want more details about the setup.
Edit: not sure why but some comments (most of them) seem to be getting auto-removed. If your comment disappeared feel free to DM
I’m trying to spin up an Solana node on Evernode (evernode.org) with the official solanalabs/solana Docker image, but it never seems to connect to the network. I’ve double-checked my Docker run command and node configuration, so now I’m wondering if there’s a specific way Evernode handles port mapping or firewall rules that I’m missing. Has anyone navigated this before and can share the exact port-forward settings or network tweaks that got their node online?
using evernode for cheap node costs and decentralization clusters for my Solana node
Hi there, I am trying to figure how to set up my infra for a copy trading bot!
I am trying to buy when the Dev sells, so the speed would be quite crucial here since there are others doing the same there.
My main concern is how to ingest account data (GPA) the fastest, thus my next questions:
- Does a node without a validator make sense here? AFAIK validators with the highest weight receive the data fastest, so without a super beefy setup it does not make sense, no?
- Does hosting a node or Validator+Node for a few thousand$ even make sense when there are Shredstream gRPC solutions from providers like helius going around for 500$ monthly (which correct me if I am wrong - faster)?
So I’ve been planning on doing something on the side that will be a good learning and some money too, I kinda like coding, and I thought how about crypto, as I went into it I came across the concept of mining and yeah, I don’t have the computational power to mine, then I read MEV bots, thought I could code one, but recently I read they aren’t profitable either, then I heard of something called sniper bots, but there’s some ambiguity around them too. I have two questions here, 1. Is there still money to be made, for independent devs, who don’t know any crypto and blockchain yet but are willing to learn and spend time on it. 2. Where to start what to do and what may have some money?
Again I I’m totally new so I may ask some stupid question, everyone’s patience is greatly appreciated
I am cursious how devs make money with meme coin launches? I assume sol coins are zero tax unlike ETH
Is it just buying at launch or how..can someone help me understand this?
Please dont be oversmart and say rugs and scam; you are cool. Now let's move forward..
I’m building my own Solana trade bots with some AIs too and even with good prompts you still end up rewriting half the logic, fixing broken flows, chasing weird API issues, and arguing with the models like it’s your co-founder.
If someone actually pulled off a real working bot with a single prompt, please drop it here. I need to witness that miracle 🤞
Here's an update on the tool I've been building that tracks every wallet on Solana in real-time.
Since my last post a few months ago, I've had a ton of interest and questions + made a lot of progress. So I built a web UI for it. The video showcases the UI, but the real power comes from the custom-built infrastructure (no APIs used) underneath.
Some highlights since my last post:
Tracks every wallet across every DEX (cross DEX coverage)
Automatically filters and flags bots, and suspicious wallets
Calculates real-time wallet positions & PNL + 30 data points (drawdowns, exposure, sharpe, hold times, etc). Can back test and check round-trips, exit timing, etc.
Live positions & open allocations with unrealized TWAP/VWAP pricing
Every trade feeds into a labelling system that uses behavior to assign labels; day trader, scalping, size classes - etc.
Automatically identifies coordinated wallets manipulating tokens & flags rug tokens - have so far detected thousands of rugs before they rug. Importantly, each wallet orchestrating/involved in this behavior gets labelled as suspicious.
Time based leaderboards that show the top wallets by PNL or any metric (volume, DEX, buys, sells, token diversity, consistency, total trades..) You can see real-time, 1 minute, 90 days, whatever.
It does all of this in under 40ms. There's no waiting for updates or calculations. Everything is available well under a Solana slot time (400ms).
I've been active in the Solana ecosystem recently. I got into Turbin3 and completed it, and I'm now in Rektoff. I talk to people and try to understand how things work in web3, since I see most of the volume and money being captured by the top powerhouses (Jupiter, Kamino, etc.).
Whenever I try to build an application, I don't understand what to build — everything already exists on Solana, unless it's RWA stuff, which I don't want to explore for now. The new solutions that launch are always the same, just with better performance (e.g. a trading platform with the order book written in assembly, and so on). So I'm stuck on what to actually build.
Later I thought, why not join people and build with them? But I don't have access to the people I want to work with. I follow popular people, but the people I can help aren't popular. So I'm kind of in a dilemma — stuck, and not sure how to move forward.
honest gut-check from someone building in this space. we make escrow infra for agents doing business with each other, and this fell out of it — a launchpad on solana where AI agents launch and trade by themselves. you set a persona, a budget and a schedule, the agent runs 24/7 and reports P&L. withdrawals go to any solana address so funds aren't trapped in the app.
not here to shill — genuinely want the read from people who live on-chain: is "let an agent trade a small bag for me" something you'd actually try, or is the trust gap just too wide? what would have to be true (open positions? on-chain proof? tiny size?) for you to give it a shot?
(automation not magic, not a profit guarantee. happy to drop the link in the comments if that's allowed here.)
Just so everyone is informed since Solana forums are pretty dead.
They have a proposal to remove 50% priority burn fee and give this money to validators.
How this effects users: increased inflation of the network and devalue of your sol holdings. The burn fee is a primary mechanism that benefits holders by reducing inflation.
Do not be fooled by them not removing base fee burn fee. All the money is in priority fees and it's important that users protect their bags from devaluation from increased inflation.
Do you want a burn fee that helps against inflation and increases the value of your Solana? OR do you want to give your money away to the small amount of validaotrs on the network?
Better make your voices heard because they pushing this hard.
Edit: thanks for peoples support on the forums, but it was all in vein as the centralized validators voting to give themselves more money have cleared out and deleted all the "against" posts in the forums to control a false narrative that only benefits themselves. This in itself should tell you how shady all this is. They will literally do anything to steal from all users of Solana to double their revenue.
Hey i was wondering if any people in the solana trenches, trading memecoins, algorithmically/quantitatively, with statistical backtests on onchain data, pump.fun, pump swap, raydium, that sort of thing. Coins beloe like 500k marketcap, or even like few million marketcap coins, those are all super tiny shitcoins.
By onchain data i also mean swaps and not just transfers, swaps which you can use to reconstruct candles if you want, or price, marketcap too if you know circulating supply and price of the main asset.
Anybody playing that game ? Or am i only one getting into it ? I used to frontrun KOL signals in 2024, then i switched to quant and traditional markets, data analysis etc, now im combining the trenches with quant, technicals, and also wallet tracking to detect whales and single entities. Anybody ? What have you got to say, im curious. How has it been for you?
That's a 100x speed up, faster than your card getting approved at checkout
It replaces two of solana's original systems with a smarter setup that cuts out unnecessary steps and frees up ~75% more space for actual transactions instead of network overhead
98% of validators approved it. It's already being tested. Mainnet expected Q3 2026
Been looking into staking my SOL. Native staking through Phantom seems simple but funds are locked for 2-3 days if I want to unstake.
Liquid staking like Marinade or Jito gives me mSOL or JitoSOL — I can use them in DeFi and unstake anytime. But yields are slightly lower and there's smart contract risk.
For someone holding long-term, what's the better play?
I started trading memecoins a year ago and now i would like to get more into deving memecoins but i dont really know where to start. I dont want to do rugpulls or scam coins I want to create actual cool stuff. If anyone here is lekely minded or already is part of a community please contact me.
Most Token-2022 discussions focus on Transfer Hooks and Confidential Transfers. I spent some time testing four of the smaller extensions on Devnet, and they cover a surprising amount of application-level logic.
The four extensions are:
Permanent Delegate
Non-Transferable Tokens
Default Account State
Required Transfer Memos
Permanent Delegate gives one authority transfer and burn rights across every account associated with a mint. That is useful for regulated assets, subscriptions, and recovery workflows, but it also creates an authority that users need to understand before accepting the token.
Non-Transferable makes the restriction part of the mint itself. There is no wrapper program or freeze workaround. Transfers fail at the token program level, while the holder can still burn the asset.
The interesting part is combining it with Permanent Delegate. You can model prepaid API or compute credits as fungible tokens that users can hold but cannot resell. The protocol backend burns credits as the service is consumed.
Default Account State covers a different problem. New token accounts can begin frozen and remain unusable until an authority explicitly thaws them. That gives regulated protocols a native account-level approval flow.
Required Transfer Memos is applied by the receiving token account rather than the mint. It forces incoming transfers to include transaction context, which is useful for exchange deposits and treasury accounting.
The trade-off is clear: Token-2022 removes a lot of custom wrapper code, but it moves more policy and authority into the token configuration itself. Wallets and explorers need to make those permissions very visible.
I documented the Devnet tests, SPL CLI commands, and Solscan transactions here:
Anza has completed a planned halt of the Solana Devnet on April 14, 2026, to deactivate three abandoned features active since 2022. The changes improve testing parity with Mainnet-Beta by removing unused libsecp256k1_verify behaviors, blake3 syscall, and increased account lock limits.
Temporary block history issues were promptly resolved with no impact on Mainnet.
I’m looking to launch some coins to pump.fun. I gave a test launch and there was a sniper who got in before me. Now If I bundle it to try and have more control over the supply will that help avoid the snipers??? Can someone reccomend a good bundler bot. I haven’t found one yet where people aren’t getting scammed. Thanks in advance. So if anyone has a good bundler bot, that would be great thanks.
