Liquidity Pool Sniping

Definition

Liquidity pool sniping is a predatory trading strategy where bots rapidly detect and purchase newly listed tokens at their initial, often very low, price in a decentralized exchange liquidity pool. These bots execute transactions almost instantaneously, aiming to acquire a large portion of the supply before human traders can react. This often results in immediate price increases for the snipers. This creates an unfair advantage.
