What is sniping?

How it works

On a standard bonding-curve launch, the token is tradeable the moment its creation transaction lands. A sniper bot (or the deployer's own second wallet) submits a buy transaction timed to land in the same block, buying the cheapest possible slice of supply before the public even sees the token exists. By the time a human clicks buy, the price has already moved.

Why detection doesn't fix it

Scanner tools flag sniping after it happened — they read the chain's history and report "N% of supply was bought in the creation block." That's useful information, but it doesn't undo the unfair entry price the early buyers already got. The only real fix is removing the window a snipe can land in.

How Fuze removes it

In Fuze's fair-launch mode, the token doesn't exist until a funding goal is met — buyers commit to an escrow first, and the token is created in the same transaction that distributes it to everyone at once. There's no block where a bot could act, because there's nothing yet to act on. See how to launch without getting sniped for the full mechanism.
