The Meme market is becoming increasingly hot in the second half of 2024, with various Meme trading bots and auxiliary tools continually emerging. However, at the end of October, NFTSniper (commonly referred to as abot) announced it would be taken down on January 1, 2025. This tool's main advantages in Meme trading include comprehensive functionality, low latency, rapid iterations, and the ability to update exclusive and practical tools based on current trends (including both Meme and non-Meme aspects).
After abot announced its imminent shutdown, some trading bots targeted abot users and iterated or upgraded similar functions. This article aims to explore which tools can serve as alternatives for abot's advantageous features.
Candlesticks and Prices
Candlesticks and prices are the most basic information for Meme trading. This section compares GMGN (top left), Photon (top right), abot (bottom left), and Dexscreener (bottom right) as comparison objects.
This section selected XRP (AZZy...) as the research object, with trades occurring almost every second. A simultaneous screenshot of the four tools' candlesticks is shown below. In the first image, GMGN and abot's candlesticks are consistent, Photon differs by one second, and Dexscreener differs by seven 1-second candlesticks.
First Test
The screenshot taken a few seconds later is as follows. GMGN and abot's candlesticks remain consistent, Photon still differs by one second, and Dexscreener differs by six 1-second candlesticks.
Second Test
The screenshot taken a few seconds later is as follows. This time GMGN, abot, and Photon remained consistent, while Dexscreener differed by five 1-second candlesticks.
Third Test
Renaming
Pump tokens are often associated with X accounts, and the renaming records of X accounts become an effective factor in determining whether a project is a 'Rug' project. The renaming history query was previously a unique feature of abot, with a few specialized X account tools like Moni also providing similar functionality, but due to high costs, they have not been widely promoted.
Last week, GMGN updated the renaming history information column (but does not support active queries), implementing an alternative version of this function.
In addition, the Telegram trading bot Solver also provides a renaming query function, achieving the same effect.
Additionally, the author understands that the renaming query tool actually periodically polls each account's UID and name for storage, rather than pulling data from internal official sources. Most of this is achieved through the https://totoml.app API, and interested readers can consider secondary development.
Address Monitoring
This section tests several publicly available, free address monitoring tools, comparing their response speeds. The tools tested include abot, Ray, DiTing, and GMGN, displayed in the graph from left to right.
This section conducted seven exchanges of SOL and USDC as tests, with the first result shown in the figure below:
abot responds the fastest, followed by Ray and Diting, which basically send notifications simultaneously, and then GMGN. The time in the image below is limited by the author's screenshot speed and is only for displaying the order, not real-time differences.
First Test
The second result is shown in the figure below:
Among them, Ray is the fastest, followed by abot, and then Diting and GMGN.
Second Test
In the following five tests, the results were consistent with the second test, with Ray pushing notifications first, followed by abot. The difference between the two is directly felt within one second, making it the superior monitoring tool at present.
Although Ray is the fastest, the free version is limited to monitoring 10 wallets, with a limit of 15 notifications per minute. There are also three paid versions, and readers can consider whether to use them.
Twitter Monitoring
This feature has fewer practical use cases in the Meme aspect, with the only known alternative tool being the paid tool apidance, which is used to push notifications for new followers and new tweets, but has a delay of several seconds. For ultra-low latency monitoring, it is still recommended to use the Twitter bell function.
