Trading and sniping bots on Robinhood Chain: what to look for

Speed is easy to buy. Not getting rugged is the hard part. What a Robinhood Chain trading bot needs, and how to build one on TRNCH.

A sniping bot buys a token seconds after it launches. On Robinhood Chain that is easy to do and easy to get wrong: in the first months of the chain, a single coordinated group drained more than 18 million dollars across dozens of memecoin launches, with insiders taking most of the supply before anyone else could buy.

What a bot really needs

• A filter before the buy: rugs, honeypots, scam contracts and heavy sell taxes have to be refused, not just flagged.
• The best route: one router is rarely the best on a fresh pool, so ask several and keep the best executable one.
• Your own keys: a bot that holds your funds is one more thing that can go wrong.
• Clear limits: slippage, size and a stop when something looks off.

Building it on TRNCH

The TRNCH Bot API gives a bot the Heat, a feed of launches screened by TIA, and one-call buy and sell that quote six routers and return a transaction for the bot's own wallet to sign. Tokens TIA keeps out are refused. Starter scripts in TypeScript and Python are on the API page.
