Trench Tools

Trench Tools is an open-source, self-hosted Solana trading and launch-workflow application composed of a local Rust execution engine, a browser extension for supported platforms, and LaunchDeck for launchpad operations. The engine handles transaction routing, construction, signing and sending with the operator’s configured wallets, RPCs, presets and providers.

Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when you want a self-hosted Solana trading runtime connected to supported browser platforms, or need the separate LaunchDeck component for launchpad operations. The project describes local use for setup and testing, and a nearby private VPS as its recommended live-trading arrangement.

Who it is for

  • Solana traders who want to run their own transaction execution runtime.
  • Operators managing launchpad workflows through LaunchDeck.
  • Developers or technically capable users setting up a local or private VPS environment.

Documented uses

  • Route trade intent from a supported browser platform to a self-hosted execution engine.
  • Configure wallets, presets, RPC endpoints and execution providers for transaction handling.
  • Build, sign and send transactions, then handle confirmations and PnL events.
  • Operate launchpad workflows through LaunchDeck.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public and identifies the project as open source under AGPL-3.0. Its documented extension installation uses Chrome or Edge.

  • The documented local quick-start targets Windows and Linux; VPS setup has separate instructions.
  • The README recommends selecting a VPS location near the RPC and execution-provider endpoints actually used, while cautioning that latency is not universal.
  • The README’s example infrastructure includes Helius RPC and Helius Sender or Hello Moon; Hello Moon access requires Lunar Lander access, according to the project.
  • The project is under active development and advises end-to-end configuration checks before live trading.
  • The extension currently lists Axiom, J7Tracker and X as supported sites; consult its extension documentation for current support.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Prepare the documented local stack

Set up the Windows or Linux runtime and browser extension using the project’s quick-start path.

Before you start

  • A Windows or Linux environment for the documented local setup.
  • A local browser; the extension guide documents Chrome and Edge.
  • A configured runtime following the project’s Quickstart instructions.

Steps

  1. Read the project’s Quickstart guide for local Windows or Linux setup; use the VPS guide instead when preparing a fresh server.

  2. Follow the extension guide to install the Chrome or Edge extension; the README describes loading the unzipped extension folder as an unpacked extension.

  3. Keep the troubleshooting guide available for connection or authentication issues.

Expected outcome

The project’s local runtime and browser extension are prepared according to its setup documentation.

Guide limitations

  • This is a setup guide, not a trading walkthrough; the project advises verifying configuration end to end before live trading.
  • The repository describes the project as under active development, and supported sites may change.
