### Sniper or MEV Bots

MEV (Maximum Extractable Value) or Sniper bot is essentially an automated trading program that targets token trading liquidity pairs as they are listed on decentralized exchanges. With the help of bots, buy orders can be created the moment tokens hit the market.&#x20;

Sniper Bots can buy tokens at a low price and sell them at a higher price as liquidity increases and the price of digital assets rises.&#x20;

MEV bots should not be underestimated. For example, on April 18-19, 2023 an MEV bot was responsible for [almost 7% of total Ethereum gas fees](https://twitter.com/SeaLaunch_/status/1648436056717688832?s=20). That is almost 1 million US dollars in sandwich attacks in a day.

The science of profiting from sniper bots is simple. Such bots give unfair advantage for their exploiters as they buy off tokens at lowest price and then profit off community and traders by selling to them at higher price.

These type of bot attack can severely deplete your liquidity pool, reducing it by over 80% during a **Token Generation Event** (TGE).

It's a lose-lose for both the project and its community.
