RE: sniping

Too long so I had to screenshot. Let's make clanker better, together!

generalist currently working for /a0x - father and creator

In feed swapping and buying is the next big clanker feature. We're still a bit far out from that (only me and I count you as dev contributor #2 with anky). The snipers are sending buys on the next block so we need to put a solution on the deployment contract itself. A frame would be too slow for initial buys

this is outside my comfortable domain of knowledge, but is it possible to have some function on the new contracts that allows us to buy the tokens from a frame?

I’ve been figuring out how to do that with the uniswap v3 execute function (which is the one called when swapping on uniswap) but haven’t figured it out yet

Clankers

excited to see the creativity enabled by in-feed token launch, which happens to come with:
- arms-length transparency
- defaults chosen by a team with different incentives than your everyday platform fees play

thesis 1: tokens are the new nfts (will be some hybridization)

thesis 2: market will self-correct for influencers who dump on their followers, eventually 

thesis 3: democratization and competition on revenue models will be great for users, rather than dystopian or cementing inequality

thesis 4: early launch sniper strategies will subside after their risk/reward flips (they will learn and react quick to wallet graveyards of low-effort tokens). Not worthwhile to try to solve this with product design

my 2c (and point 4 below): do something 80/20 and move on, not gonna find the perfect sniper solution with a few days of hard thinking.

would prefer mini-features that leverage social reputation, such as mathias's idea to link to other tokens the user has deployed already. Help buyers dyor by highlighting long-term repeated-game reputation

Thanks for sharing your perspective! 

I think there’s lots of room to explore around open reputation systems like @icebreaker and social graph connections.

Allowlist only the deployer for the first x blocks. 2-5% tax also deters most sniper bots. I’ve done a few launches that have completely negated most snipers. You can’t block them all and they are always improving. But you can mitigate quite a bit.

There are many bots, sweeping the liquidity

absolutely the right direction.  Sniping is extractive and the first major roadblock for any decentralized token offering.  You guys are killing it
