introduction

However, the Meme token market also exhibits extremely high volatility and short market cycles, with some tokens having active trading periods of less than 10 minutes.

The sniping function is a very important tool for investors. It can improve trading efficiency and accuracy, help investors better grasp market opportunities and achieve better investment returns.
One-click copy function
Dex Trading Bot allows traders to select one or more accounts, trading robots and other trading entities that they believe have a high trading success rate, and then add these trading entities to the watch list in Dex Trading Bot, and then automatically follow the trading behavior of these trading entities in real time. If these trading entities have a trading behavior, then Dex Trading Bot will immediately copy the trading behavior of these trading entities, and Dex Trading Bot will automatically execute every trading instruction of the trading entity. This allows traders who do not have enough time and expertise to conduct market analysis to improve their trading success rate.
Limit Orders and DCA
The limit order of Dex Trading Bot is set to be partially executed and obtain tokens for the executed part. When proposing a transaction, Bot can select the order validity period, exchange price and exchange quantity according to the optimal path, so as to maximize the benefits in the transaction. This allows trading users to more conveniently avoid the cost increase and slippage caused by price influence during trading, while avoiding the MEV problem.
The DCA fixed investment product has been added to Dex Trading Bot. Users can reduce their purchase costs to their expected price range by setting regular and fixed investments in the future for Dex Trading Bot. This method can help investors reduce the risk of investing at a single price point in a volatile market environment. Dex Trading Bot provides DCA fixed investment products. Users only need to set their purchase frequency, purchase price range, total time period, and the currency they want to purchase. After the fixed investment takes effect, the tokens purchased by the user will be transferred to the user's own account associated with Dex Trading Bot, and transactions will be automatically executed according to the preset price range and trading frequency. After the fixed investment is completed, the tokens will be automatically transferred back to the user's wallet.
Classification of Dex Trading Bot
According to the profit model of Dex Trading Bot, it can be divided into three types:
Subscription Fee
The subscription fee system means that before using Dex Trading Bot, you must pay a certain amount of subscription fee to the project to obtain the right to use it. Generally speaking, the fee paid is around 0.1 ETH per month and 1 ETH per year. The subscription fee system is relatively biased towards communities or small circles. The most common user group is KOLs with a relatively high winning rate on the Internet who bring orders to their fans, and users copy the KOL's operations through the copy order function.
Transaction Fees
Dex Trading Bot, which charges transaction fees, is similar to DEX. Each time you use Dex Trading Bot to perform a transaction, you will be charged according to the number of times. The general fee standard is about 0.5%-1.5% of the transaction amount. These fees do not include the fees of the trading user in DEX, which means that they will be charged twice. However, in general, Dex Trading Bot will distribute part of its income to its token holders, thereby maintaining a virtuous cycle relationship.
If there is no project issuing coins, there will be no distribution of project income.
A hybrid system of subscription fees and transaction fees
Some Dex Trading Bots use a combination of subscription fees and transaction fees. Generally, these Dex Trading Bots have some upgraded businesses or services, such as Maestro. The main income of the Maestro project comes from charging transaction fees to trading users. The fee for each transaction is 1% of the transaction amount. However, because it does not issue coins, all fees are not distributed to users as protocol income. However, it provides a VIP community service system, that is, paying $200 to Maestro every month, and after entering the VIP community, you can enjoy some carefully selected Smart Money addresses or wealth codes, similar to the paid groups created by traditional KOLs.
According to the nature of Dex Trading Bot, we can see that the project is mainly aimed at high-frequency trading, and uses fast trading to gain advantages in projects such as Meme or Tugou. Therefore, the trading users who use Dex Trading Bot are basically high-frequency traders. In addition, the project charges per transaction, and the charging standard is mostly set at 1%. Therefore, the project income of Dex Trading Bot is not even inferior to the income level of some top DEXs.
Advantages of Bot over traditional Dex
After using Dex Trading Bot, its usage increased significantly in a short period of time, and its project revenue is almost the same as that of the top DEX. The reason for this phenomenon is that Dex Trading Bot has several irreplaceable advantages over traditional DEX:
Quick response
By using Dex Trading Bot to trade, trading users can achieve quick response. Once the target price is triggered, the transaction will be executed immediately, avoiding the delay that may be caused by manual operation. This real-time trading method greatly improves trading efficiency and reduces trading risks. In addition, when the on-chain transaction volume increases suddenly, on-chain congestion often occurs, and DEX often freezes due to excessive trading volume due to the performance of the chain. Dex Trading Bot achieves fast transactions through its efficient trading mechanism, avoids transaction delays caused by network congestion, and ensures that users can complete transactions quickly. At the same time, because trading users need to rush to the local dog or Meme, the opening purchase speed of tokens is very high, so Dex Trading Bot is especially suitable for users who trade quickly when the market opens. Such users can seize market opportunities at the first time and achieve higher returns through fast transactions. The instant response ability of Dex Trading Bot allows users to place orders and complete transactions quickly.
Automated Trading
In the Crypto market, the market is changing rapidly because of the 24/7 trading mechanism. The challenge to high-frequency trading users is very great, so the demand for automated trading has emerged. Automated trading can not only accurately grasp the time periods of abnormal changes in the market, but also save the time and energy of trading users. Traditional manual trading requires investors to spend hours monitoring the market and manually executing transactions, while automated trading can completely liberate investors' hands, freeing them from heavy trading operations and focusing more on market analysis and strategy formulation. This can not only improve trading efficiency, but also enable investors to better grasp the pulse of the market and make more informed investment decisions.
Reduce MEV losses
The biggest problem faced by traders when trading on traditional DEX on the chain is MEV attacks. Traders may suffer serious losses due to MEV attacks, so how to prevent MEV attacks is also a problem that DEX needs to solve. Although many DEXs have made improvements to MEV attacks, the results are not satisfactory. MEV attacks still occur from time to time, and if MEV attacks occur when traders rush to buy tokens that have just opened, the losses caused to traders will be much greater than the usual losses, so traders usually need to set higher slippage to ensure successful transactions. However, Dex Trading Bot can effectively prevent MEV attacks through its own technology. Traders only need to pay a handling fee of about 1%, and the slippage fees saved often exceed the handling fees paid, greatly reducing transaction costs.
High flexibility
Traders can personalize their trading strategies and parameters according to their needs. This flexibility allows each user to optimize trading according to their investment strategy and risk preference. Through customized settings, users can better adapt to market changes, improve trading efficiency, and better control risks. Different investors have different needs and preferences. The high flexibility of Dex Trading Bot can meet these diverse needs and provide users with a more personalized trading experience. In the ever-changing market environment, high flexibility has become an important factor in improving trading competitiveness and adaptability, and also provides users with more choices and room for development.
Improve user experience
Compared with traditional DEX, Dex Trading Bot has a higher user experience for traders. Dex Trading Bot provides convenient cryptocurrency trading, monitoring and analysis tools, which greatly improves the convenience of traders in trading. By accessing various platforms, traders can easily trade cryptocurrencies, monitor market trends in real time, and conduct in-depth data analysis to help users make wise trading decisions. Dex Trading Bot not only simplifies the trading process, but also provides comprehensive market information and analysis reports, allowing users to have a clearer understanding of market trends and risks, thereby increasing the success rate of transactions. Dex Trading Bot also provides a variety of trading tools and functions, such as automatic trading, quantitative analysis, etc., to help users better grasp market opportunities and achieve more stable and sustainable returns.
Dex Trading Bot Data
Based on the latest data provided by Dune, we analyze the data of Dex Trading Bot as follows:
Transaction volume and users of each chain
Trading volume and number of users (data source: https://dune.com/whale_hunter/dex-trading-bot-wars)
In terms of trading volume, Dex Trading Bot’s daily trading volume was $105.54 million. This was mainly due to the sharp drop on Monday, which caused a decrease in the trading volume on the chain. From the figure, we can see that all transactions mainly come from three public chains, with Solana’s on-chain trading volume of $74.78 million, Ethereum’s on-chain trading volume of $20.15 million, and BSC’s on-chain trading volume of $1.57 million. Among them, Solana and Ethereum accounted for 95% of the total.
In terms of the number of users, Solana has 161,200 daily users, Ethereum has 36,900 users, and Base has 10,200 users. From the data, we can clearly see that the average transaction amount per user of Solana is relatively small at $463, the average transaction amount per user on Ethereum is $546, and the average transaction amount per user of Base is $96.42.
User volume trend
Number of users within 180 days (data source: https://dune.com/whale_hunter/dex-trading-bot-wars)
According to the chart data, the market has been in a wide range of fluctuations for the past 4 months, and the market plummeted on Monday. There have been no prominent hot spots in the market in recent months, so the number of traders on the chain has basically remained between 58,000 and 60,000. However, when the market is in an upward trend, the number of users grows faster, reaching 120,000 on March 18. Therefore, it can be concluded that the number of Dex Trading Bot users is affected by the market activity. When the market is in an upward trend, a large number of hot spots will appear, and the demand for Dex Trading Bot will continue to increase.
Trading volume trends
Trading volume within 180 days (data source: https://dune.com/whale_hunter/dex-trading-bot-wars)
As can be seen from the figure, there is a certain correlation between the trading volume and the number of users of Dex Trading Bot. When the market is good, both the trading volume and the number of users will show an upward trend; on the contrary, when the market is not good, the trading volume and the number of users will decrease. From the comparative data, the trading volume reached 700 million at its peak, and it is currently around 100 million; while the number of traders was 120,000 at its peak, and now it is more than 50,000. This shows that when the market is good, the original trading users will increase the investment amount or the frequency of transactions, thereby driving the growth of trading volume. Therefore, when the market is good, the growth rate of trading volume will far exceed the growth rate of the number of trading users.
Bot Income
Now the total income of Dex Trading Bot has reached 1.641 million US dollars per day, of which the main income is attributed to Photon, Trojan, BonkBot, Banana Gun and Bullx. The income of these five projects has accounted for 96% of the entire track.
