Snorter: When a Telegram bot reshapes the battlefield of meme-coin trading
In 2025, the meme-coin market exploded, but retail traders faced two major pain points: over 50% of new tokens were sniped by MEV bots within the same block liquidity launched, leaving manual trades with <15% success rates; smart contract honeypots caused annual losses up to $6 billion. Against this backdrop, Snorter ($SNORT)—a Telegram-native trading bot powered by AI risk control and subsecond execution—rose rapidly. By July 2025, its testnet surpassed 100,000 users, processing ~4,700 trades daily, becoming one of the fastest-growing tools in the Solana ecosystem.
This Token Insights article dives into Snorter’s technical architecture and token model, exploring how the AI-driven Telegram trading bot lowers the meme-coin trading threshold and reshapes high-frequency market dynamics.
Project Positioning: AI solution to retail pain points
Snorter aims to fix info asymmetry and execution inefficiency in meme-coin trading. Traditionally, retail traders manually monitor token launches, evaluate contract risks, and race MEV bots. Snorter automates this via simple Telegram commands: Type /snipe TOKEN amount SOL, and the system executes the purchase. Its advantages include:
-
Zero-code usage: natural-language interface, no programming needed.
-
AI real-time risk control: honeypot detection rate at 85% (vs industry avg. 45%), automatically blocking rug-pulls.
-
Multi-chain support: through Portal Bridge, enabling SOL/ETH swaps, reducing gas costs by 70%.
Strategically, Snorter integrates Bitcoin “inscriptions” (e.g., BGPS). Users stake BRC-420 NFTs (“gold eggs”) to earn BGPS or SNORT airdrops, boosting ecosystem depth.
Tech architecture: Three-layer engine for HFT
Frontend interaction layer (deep Telegram integration)
/snipe: token sniper, <0.5 s latency/copytrade: mirror whale addresses/portfolio: unified multi-chain asset dashboard
AI risk-control layer (dynamic safety shield)
- Contract scanner: flags fake liquidity locks, team token dumps
- MEV defense: dynamic gas/path adjustments to avoid front-running
- Impermanent loss predictor: tracks 200+ APY pools, auto-switches
Trade execution layer (Solana-custom)
- Dedicated RPC nodes pack trades <500 ms—faster than competitors like Maestro
- Cross-chain bridge supports ETH/SOL asset conversion
Developers can follow JuCoin’s multi-chain yield guide to replicate this logic.
Tokenomics: Staking flywheel and controversy
Allocation & contention
Total $SNORT supply: 88 billion. Issues raised include:
-
Low initial circulation: only 176 million (2%) unlocked, while 33% (private/public sale) unlocked on day one—potential for heavy dump
-
Team control concerns: team + investors + foundation hold 37.4%, community fund details unrevealed
Core utility
-
Fee discount: holders pay 0.85% instead of 1.5%
-
Feature unlock: stake 1,000 SNORT to enable advanced tools (copy trading, MEV protection)
-
Staking APY: up to 265%, driving deflation (currently 5.1 million tokens staked)
Market launch hiccup
Binance Alpha’s airdrop (88,000 SNORT) scheduled for July 11, 2025, was delayed due to audit issues—an operational risk indicator.
