The Meme market is becoming increasingly popular in the second half of 2024, with various Meme trading bots and auxiliary tools continuously emerging. However, at the end of October, NFTSniper (commonly referred to as abot), which holds a significant share in the Chinese market, announced it would be taken offline on January 1, 2025. The main advantages of this tool in Meme trading include comprehensive functions, low latency, rapid iteration, and the ability to update exclusive and practical tools based on trends (including both Meme and non-Meme aspects).
After abot announced it would soon go offline, some trading bots targeted abot users and iterated or upgraded similar functions. This article aims to explore which tools can serve as alternatives to abot's advantageous features.
K-lines and prices
K-lines and prices are the most basic information of 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 transactions occurring almost every second. Screenshots of K-lines from the four tools are shown below. In the first image, GMGN and abot K-lines remain consistent, while Photon differs by one second, and Dexscreener differs by seven 1-second K-lines.
First test
The screenshot below was taken a few seconds later. GMGN and abot K-lines remain consistent, while Photon still differs by one second, and Dexscreener differs by six 1-second K-lines.
Second test
The screenshot below was taken a few seconds later. This time, GMGN, abot, and Photon are consistent, while Dexscreener has a difference of five 1-second K-lines.
Third test
Name change
Pump tokens are often associated with X accounts, and the name change record of X accounts becomes an effective factor in judging whether it is a 'Rug' project. The name change history query was previously primarily a unique feature of abot, with a few specialized X account tools like Moni also offering similar functions, but due to high costs, they have not been widely promoted.
Last week, GMGN updated the name change history information section (but does not support active queries), achieving a substitute version of this function.
Additionally, the Telegram trading Bot Solver also provides a name change query function, achieving the same effect.
In addition, according to the author's understanding, the name change query tool actually periodically polls each account's uid and name for saving, rather than retrieving official internal data. Most of this is realized through the https://totoml.app API, and interested readers can consider secondary development.
Address monitoring
This section tested several public and free address monitoring tools, comparing their response speeds. The tools tested include abot, Ray, DiTing, and GMGN, displayed from left to right in the image.
This section conducted seven exchanges between SOL and USDC as tests, with the first result shown in the image below:
abot responded the fastest, followed closely by Ray and Diting, while GMGN followed after. The time in the image below is limited by the author's screenshot speed, only for displaying the order, not real-time differences.
First test
The result of the second test is shown in the image below:
Among them, Ray is the fastest, followed by abot, then Diting, and GMGN.
Second test
In the following five tests, the results were all consistent with the second test. Ray pushed first, followed by abot, with a direct perceived difference of within 1 second. Currently, it appears to be a superior monitoring tool.
Although Ray is the fastest, the free version is limited to monitoring 10 wallets and has a push limit of 15 times per minute. There are also three paid versions, which readers can consider whether to use.
Twitter monitoring
This function has fewer use cases in the Meme aspect but is relatively practical. The only known alternative tool is the paid tool apidance, used for pushing new followers and new tweets of followed objects, but it has a delay of several dozen seconds. For ultra-low latency monitoring, the Twitter notification feature is still recommended.
