Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when you want Jupiter trading and wallet-management menus in a Python CLI, or want to configure its token sniper and monitor a selected position while the CLI remains open.
Who it is for
- Python 3.11 users who want to access Jupiter trading functions from a command line.
- Solana traders who want to manage wallets and configure token-sniping parameters in the CLI.
Documented uses
- Initiate swaps and open or manage Jupiter limit orders.
- Open and manage DCA accounts.
- Add, watch, edit or delete token-sniping entries, including buy amount, take profit, stop loss and slippage settings.
- Add, rename or delete wallets and change the selected wallet.
Requirements & limits
The project is publicly available on GitHub under the MIT license. The README says private keys are stored in wallets.json and that the sniper stops when the CLI is closed.
- Python 3.11 is the stated prerequisite; the quickstart documents a PowerShell virtual-environment activation command.
- The sniper requires a Jupiter quote route; the README gives a minimum liquidity threshold of $250 and buy/sell price impact below 30% for tokens listed by the Jupiter API.
- The sniper checks for routes every second, but the README says qualifying tokens can take a few minutes to be added.
- The README labels the sniper experimental and reports a 10–20 second delay in obtaining real trade-position information after a route is found and executed.
- The README says swap fees are not additional to Jupiter UI fees, while transaction costs still apply.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Set up and start the CLI
