Sniping new launches on Pump.fun is a game of speed. If you are waiting for the transaction to show up on a standard RPC, you are already too late. The bonding curve moves fast, and the earliest buyers get the best entry.

The Winning Architecture

To beat the competition, you need a setup that minimizes latency at every step.

1. The Data Feed: Raw Shreds

You cannot rely on onLogs or standard gRPC for the earliest signal. You need shreds.

  • Why? Pump.fun contract interactions are broadcasted in shreds immediately. By decoding these packets, you can detect the create instruction before it hits the public block explorers.
  • Provider: AllenHark Shreds — raw shreds over UDP (Dedicated), or reconstructed entries over gRPC or Direct UDP.

2. The Filter: Local Decoding

Don't process everything. You need a highly optimized Rust binary to filter the shred stream.

  • Filter Target: Look for the Pump.fun Program ID (6EF8rrect...) and the specific instruction data for "Create".
  • Action: Trigger your buy transaction immediately upon detection.

3. The Execution: QUIC Relay

Once you have the signal, you need to land the buy.

  • Protocol: Use QUIC. Do not use standard HTTPS.
  • Endpoint: Connect to a relay like AllenHark Relay that sends over private connections straight to the current leader.

Why This Beats Standard Bots

Most "copy-paste" sniper bots use public RPC nodes — they see the token only once the block has been confirmed and served back to them. With a Shreds setup, you see it while the block is still being produced, before RPC confirmation. That gap is where the 10x gains happen.
