If you wish to snipe a token’s launch, the bot offers a complete auto-sniping solution through Auto Snipe. If you do not have the contract address ahead of time, it is best to forward or copy/paste the contract and do an auto-buy using the steps described in Section 4.3.

Auto Snipe on Ethereum, BSC and Base

On Ethereum, BSC, and Base, the bot offers a complete auto-sniping solution that includes the following features:
  1. Completely Automated Sniping: You don’t need to simulate or go through complex contracts to figure out the right method or approach for sniping. Auto Snipe completely automates this process by identifying the right transaction to snipe in mempool (possible for Ethereum and BSC), all in Block-0. When the launch transaction cannot be detected in mempool either because it was sent privately or because the chain does not have a public mempool (the case for Base), the bot will detect the correct launch transaction on the mined side and immediately activate your snipe to secure early entries. On Ethereum only, Block-0 snipes can be paired with Block-0 Tipping to secure extremely early entries. This new approach to sniping allows you to cooperate with other Maestro users to dominate a launch block, all while competing amongst each other for better entries. Further details are provided below.
  2. Dynamic Deadblock Detection: Deadblocks are blocks in which you should avoid buying the token as you could get blacklisted, or suffer a significant buy and/or sell tax either temporarily or permanently. Today, many contracts can change deadblocks within their launch functions, which hinders even the most experienced snipers. However, Auto Snipe can dynamically detect and adjust to any deadblock specifications, even for the most complicated contracts and launch method.
  3. User-controlled Tax Thresholds: Many tokens are initially launched with high buy and/or sell taxes. Auto Snipe gives you the ability to select the maximum buy and sell taxes that you’re willing to accept for your snipe. If a token launches with taxes that you don’t approve of, Auto Snipe will notify you that the contract violates your preferences and will wait until taxes are lowered before buying.
  4. Dynamic Max Buy Adjustment: When sniping a token launch, many users would like to secure the contract’s max buy. In these cases, attempting to buy beyond the token’s max buy will have your transaction rejected by the token contract. However, Auto Snipe completely addresses this by making sure that your buy never violates a contract’s max buy. If you try to buy 2% of the supply when max buy is 1%, the bot will auto-adjust your buy. This will apply even when your snipe is targeting Block-0.

Block-0 Snipes on Ethereum

Block-0 snipes on Ethereum use Block-0 Tipping, which is the process of tipping or bribing the blockbuilder with high gas prices to secure better entries on Block-0 snipes. You will essentially bribe the blockbuilder to place your buy transaction immediately after the launch transaction through the use of bundles. A bundle is built by grouping all Block-0 buys of Maestro users into one big powerful bundle that can easily overwhelm the competition. The blockbuilder will then choose the most valuable bundle to mine. While you cooperate with other Maestro users to create extremely lucrative bundles, you’ll also be competing to secure a better place within those bundles. Basically, the higher your ETH tip or bribe amount, the better place you’ll receive in the bundle, and the more valuable the bundle will become. As such, the higher the tip you use, the better spot you’ll get within the Maestro bundle, and the higher the chance of the bundle succeeding. What if our bundle doesn’t go through? Along with the bundle, the bot will also send an independent Backup snipe for every single user, so even if you don’t get included in the winning bundle, you’ll still buy right after it. This can be enabled or disabled based on your preference, and it will never cause you to buy twice. It is important to note that both the bundle and the backup snipes are always sent privately, so getting sandwiched/MEV’d is not a concern.
