Best Telegram Sniper Bots 2026: Solana Sniping Bots Compared

Telegram sniper bots are the fastest way to buy new token launches on Solana and EVM chains — paste a contract, the bot executes in milliseconds. But they all take custody of a wallet and all charge a fee on every trade. Here is the honest landscape, minus the hype.

The Main Telegram Sniper Bots

Trojan (formerly Unibot on Solana)

• One of the most-used Solana snipers; clean UI, fast execution
• Copy-trading, limit orders, and DCA inside Telegram
• ~1% fee per trade is the standard across the category — check the bot's current fee in its /settings before trading

BONKbot

• Solana-native, deeply integrated with the BONK ecosystem and Jupiter routing
• Simple buy/sell flow that made it the default for casual SOL sniping
• Same custody model: dedicated bot wallet you fund

Maestro

• Multi-chain (Solana + Ethereum + Base + more); one of the oldest names
• Advanced features: multi-wallet, anti-rug checks, whale tracking
• Charges both trade fees and a paid "premium" tier

Banana Gun

• Multi-chain, popular for new-launch sniping with bribe/priority controls
• Token-gated perks; strong on Ethereum and Solana launches

Unibot

• The original Telegram trading bot (Ethereum-focused, UNISWAP-centric)
• Good for EVM chains; Solana users generally pick Trojan/BONKbot instead

Feature Comparison

Fees and features change frequently — verify inside each bot's /settings before funding.

What Actually Determines Whether You Profit

Not the bot — the setup:

Priority fees & MEV: on Solana, the winner of a launch block is decided by priority fee bidding, not the bot's brand. All top bots let you tune this; defaults are too low for hyped launches.

Slippage settings: 10-20%+ is common on new launches — lower settings save you from bad fills but miss volatile launches.

Token filters: mint authority revoked? LP burned? Honeypot check passed? A bot that skips these snipes you into rugs faster.

Position sizing: most sniped launches go to zero. 0.5-1 SOL per snipe with profit sweeps beats aping.

The Custody Reality (Read Before Funding)

Every Telegram sniper bot works the same way: it generates a wallet it controls, you fund it, the bot trades from it. That means:

• Only fund a bot wallet with money you can lose entirely
• Sweep profits to your main wallet regularly — do not let balances accumulate
• Never import your primary seed phrase into any bot, ever
• The bot's backend is a single point of compromise — size accordingly

Safer Alternative for Non-Launch Trading

If your goal is automated trading rather than millisecond launch sniping, exchange-connected bots are fundamentally safer — Cryptohopper trades on YOUR exchange via API keys that cannot withdraw, so there is no custodial wallet to drain. You lose the speed needed for Pump.fun launches but keep the account you actually care about safe.

FAQ

Which Telegram sniper bot is best for Solana?

Trojan and BONKbot are the two most-used Solana snipers — pick on UI preference and current fee structure; execution differences between top bots are smaller than their marketing suggests.

Can Telegram sniper bots be trusted?

They can only spend the wallet they generate or you import. Trust is proportional to what you fund them with — keep it at play-money size and sweep profits out.

Why did my snipe fail or buy at a bad price?

Usually priority fees too low for the launch congestion, or slippage settings mismatched to the token's volatility. Failed transactions still cost gas — factor that into sizing.
