Video Tutorial: How to Set Up a Snipe
{% endembed %}

***

The **Sniper feature** is one of the most reliable ways to be among the first buyers for newly released coins and tokens.\
\
A snipe is a feature which attempts to instantly buy/sell (i.e Snipe) a specified token immediately upon the launch of the token (when the specified launch function is sent out by the contract/token owner)\
\
Further more, the Hodless bot [**bribes**](#how-to-add-a-bribe-your-snipe) feature allows users to bribe (tip) validators to further increase their priority in a block and be among the first to snipe a token, drastically improving their entry (buy) price.\
\
The Sniper can be accessed from the main menu of the telegram bot:

{% hint style="danger" %}
Unfortunately, due to a recent release of an Anti-MEV protection system, we took a tough decission to **temporarily pause the BSC sniper.**
{% endhint %}

This doesn't affect any other functions of the BSC network, such as direct buy/sell transactions, transfers and copy trading.

We may resume the sniping on BSC in the future updates.

<summary> Bribes 🆕 🔥</summary>

**Bribes** is a mechanism that allows users to tip (i.e bribe) blockchain validators in order to gain transaction priority within a block when [sniping new tokens](https://hodless.gitbook.io/product-docs/token-trading/sniper). Essentially, the higher your tip - the higher your priority in the block and the higher the chances of your transaction being processed before others.

Bribes is one of the most crucial game-changing features when sniping as increasing your transaction priority provides better entry (buy) opportunities.

To add a bribe to your snipe:

* When [setting up a snipe](#how-to-set-up-a-snipe), you'll receive a prompt to enter your Tip (Bribe) amount:

![](https://1584883750-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FMFbER2mVyKdohcY1mFOU%2Fuploads%2FdvSvs2J1OM7qAfRJNLMT%2FBribe.png?alt=media\&token=354f077b-1048-4f2c-a1ae-207082d1adf7)

* Enter your bribe amount (<mark style="color:orange;">this amount is NOT included in the max buy amount for your snipe</mark>). Increasing your bribe will increase your priority over transactions with a smaller bribe amount or no bribe at all.
* Enter '0' if you do not wish to use the bribe feature

<mark style="color:green;">When sniping, we recommend to always use the bribe feature, even if it's the minimum value of 0.0001</mark>\
\ <mark style="color:green;">This will allow you to gain priority over any other transactions in a block that have</mark> <mark style="color:green;"></mark><mark style="color:green;">**not used bribes**</mark> <mark style="color:green;"></mark><mark style="color:green;">at all.</mark>
