How to launch a token without getting sniped

Why sniping happens

On a standard bonding-curve launch (pump.fun, LetsBONK, most others), the token's market exists the instant the creation transaction lands. A bot watching the mempool — or the deployer's own second wallet — can buy in that same block, before anyone else even knows the token exists, at the cheapest possible price on the curve. Every after-the-fact "sniper detected" scanner is just measuring damage that already happened; none of them can stop the buy from landing.

The actual fix: remove the moment

Fuze's fair-launch mode doesn't try to detect or block snipers — it removes the window they'd act in. Buyers commit funds to an escrow before the token exists. Nothing is tradeable, so there's nothing to snipe. When a goal (and a countdown you set) is met, one transaction creates the token, buys the full allocation at a single price, and pays every committed buyer their pro-rata share — all of them, at once, after the fact. There's no block where being fastest matters.

Two venues, same guarantee

• Solana — buyers escrow SOL, the launch resolves into a real pump.fun token. See Fair launch on Solana, step by step.
• Robinhood Chain — buyers escrow ETH, the launch seeds a Uniswap v3 pool. See How to launch a token on Robinhood Chain.

What this doesn't fix

The escrow mechanism removes sniping at the launch moment specifically. It doesn't change how a token trades afterward — normal market dynamics (people buying and selling, prices moving) apply to any live token, Fuze-launched or not. And Fuze's instant-launch mode (one signature, no countdown) deliberately trades this guarantee for speed — that's a different tool for a different priority, not a contradiction.
