Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when you want a configurable script for automated buying of newly available Solana pairs and can manage the required RPC and wallet settings.
Who it is for
- Solana traders who want to configure automated purchases of new token pairs.
- Developers or operators comfortable managing a server-side script, RPC credentials and wallet secret keys.
Documented uses
- Configure SOL allocation, Jito tip, minimum balance, retry count and purchase delay.
- Filter tokens by liquidity and holder concentration, and enable checks for mintable or freezable tokens.
- Set symbol filters, a sniper-list refresh interval and optional Telegram bot credentials.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and identified as open source. Its primary language is TypeScript, and the project is described as a server-oriented script.
- The setup requires RPC endpoints and provider credentials; Shyft API-key integration is shown.
- The configuration uses a wallet secret key, so handling that credential is part of operating the script.
- Jito tips and SOL purchase amounts are configurable parameters; the README gives example values.
- Rug-check controls are individually configurable, including checks that can be switched off.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Configure Solana sniper trading and screening parameters
Set RPC and wallet configuration, purchase settings, and token screening options for the bot.
Before you start
- RPC provider credentials; Shyft API keys are supported.
- A wallet secret key.
- Telegram API credentials only if configuring Telegram bot integration.
Steps
Set RPC_WEBSOCKET_ENDPOINT and RPC_ENDPOINT to your provider endpoints; the README gives Shyft URL examples.
Set SNIPER_SECRET_KEY to your wallet secret key.
Choose purchase values such as BUY_AMOUNT_SOL, JITO_TIP_AMOUNT, MIN_SOL_REQUIRED, MAX_BUY_RETRIES, and BUY_DELAY.
Set liquidity and holder limits, then choose rug-check toggles such as ENABLE_RUG_CHECKS and CHECK_TOP10_HOLDERS_PERCENTAGE.
Optionally configure SNIPE_LIST_REFRESH_INTERVAL and TOKEN_SYMBOL_FILTER, or fill in the Telegram bot fields for Telegram integration.
Expected outcome
The README-described configuration covers RPC access, wallet integration, purchase behavior, screening filters, and optional list or Telegram settings.
Guide limitations
- Configuration does not guarantee protection from rug pulls or successful trades.
- The wallet secret key and provider credentials are sensitive; the README provides no security-handling instructions.
