Getting Started
Set up SolSnipe and start monitoring new token launches on Solana in under 5 minutes.
Requirements
Before installing SolSnipe, make sure you have the following:
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 or Windows 11 (64-bit) |
| RAM | Minimum 4 GB |
| Internet | Stable connection, low latency preferred |
| RPC Endpoint | Any Solana RPC with WebSocket support |
| SOL Wallet | A Solana wallet with a private key |
Installation
Download and extract the SolSnipe archive to get started.
Download solsnipe.rar from the Download page.
Extract the archive to a folder of your choice, for example C:\SolSnipe.
Open the extracted folder. You will see solsnipe.exe and a config.toml file.
Edit config.toml with your RPC URL and wallet private key before running.
Configuration
All settings are managed through the config.toml file in the SolSnipe directory.
RPC Setup
SolSnipe requires a Solana RPC endpoint with WebSocket support. We recommend one of these providers:
| Provider | Free Tier | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Helius | 1M credits/month | Best for sniping, low latency |
| QuickNode | 10M credits/month | Reliable, global nodes |
| Alchemy | 300M compute units | Good for testing |
Safety Filters
SolSnipe includes built-in safety checks to help avoid rug pulls and honeypots. Each filter can be enabled or disabled in config:
| Filter | What it checks |
|---|---|
| check_mint_authority | Skips tokens where the dev can mint unlimited supply |
| check_freeze_authority | Skips tokens where accounts can be frozen |
| max_top_holder_pct | Skips if top wallet holds more than X% of supply |
| min_liquidity_sol | Skips pools with less than X SOL liquidity |
Telegram Alerts
SolSnipe can send instant alerts to your Telegram when it buys or sells a token. To set this up:
Open Telegram and search for @BotFather.
Send /newbot and follow the instructions. Copy the bot token.
Get your chat ID by messaging @userinfobot.
Paste both values into your config.toml.
Simulation Mode
Enable dry run mode to test SolSnipe without spending real SOL. In this mode the bot detects tokens and logs what it would do — but executes no real transactions.
Running SolSnipe
Once your config is ready, simply double-click solsnipe.exe to launch the application. The interface will open and monitoring will begin automatically.
