Speed up NFT Sniping Solution

Yes, it’s here. In 2022, crypto trading bots, arbitrage bots, NFT bots, rarity trackers and other blockchain-related solutions are nothing new. For this article, we will focus on NFTs. Showing where even higher gas fees may not be enough to succeed.

Situation: Waiting for a drop to be the first one who will send the transaction and purchase the NFT. Doing so for hundreds of NFTs in an exactly specific time. Fighting others who do the same — not only with gas fees. Trying to be picked and processed by Validators as the first.

Your solution must cover much more:

• The immediate ranking of every reveal.
• Sending transactions (can be thousands) to purchase NFTs, at a very specific time of the drop.
• Having a gas fee a little higher than current gas, to win the gas battle.
• And most important. When many bots (sorry, people) do the same, you must have a tool to “front-run” them. To get the block as the first and to get a transaction first in line in the execution queue. Be picked and processed by a Validator as the first and take part in the next/new block, not in 3–4 blocks later.

Simply said, when two or more people are sending their transactions, who will be picked and processed by Validator as the first, wins. To achieve this, go to your Dashboard and upgrade to any package + Front-running Mainnet RPC endpoint and paste the FR endpoint to your Metamask.

Solutions we‘d like to recommend:

• TraitSniper — Fastest NFTs ranking platform
• MetaSniper — Automate your Mints and Snipes
• Breeze — NFT automation made simple
• Our own, a simple and free NFT OpenSea Sniper Bot on Github

Testing compatibility with Zmok:

• NFT Pirates — Bot
• NFT Finesser — Mint bot & tools aggregator
• ERC Sniper — NFT rarity tool and sniper
• Rarity Sniper — Rarity check

If you use any other, please send us a hint to info(at)zmok.io. We will try to connect with the authors of your favourite solution and optimize it for Zmok fast Ethereum RPC.

NOTE: We do not increase gas or modify your gas. Plus we do not read, collect or analyze your transactions sent “manually” or using a bot. Transaction sent via Front-running (/fr/) endpoint is:

• sent multi-regionally through many nodes. The current/newest Block may differ in regions, in Asia can be let’s say X and the US X+2. We make sure you will be in the newest one.
• the transaction is picked and processed by Validators almost immediately (milliseconds), no matter what your gas is.
• Order in the block will be based on gas. So here the gas war between two users starts. Gas can be set when sending a transaction and be modified before a new block is mined. Modifying is almost impossible “manually”. Most minting/buying/sniping/trading bots provide auto-set based on current gas. And auto-increasing of the gas based on pending transactions of other users. For that, ZMOK provides the fast reading of pending transactions in the transactions pools, and based on this data bots set/modify gas for the end-user (you).
