Unclear what Merkle does to protect against sniping.

Who is trading the token before Merkle sends out the notification? Do employees trade?

Also: Just featuring legit people is not a no-rug guarantee. Snipers can buy coins and dump on the Farcaster community after the pump notification.

I asked @dwr.eth how they protect against this. No answer yet

You've made it seem like WC only promotes legitimate builders with their token notifications. Good. That said, the MemeCoin Grift repertoire is much bigger. 

Before you send out these notifications, are you scanning the token supply for snipers? Because snipers could take advantage of buying the coin cheaply. And then, when you send out the „pump“ notification, they could rug the FC community. What are the technical protections that you implement against your community being farmed? Also: Do your employees trade on coins that get featured in the notifications?
