Managed bots
A managed bot is a Solana sniper bot that runs on its own private server, set up and kept running by AllenHark. You choose the strategy and the limits in the web app; the bot follows them, around the clock, whether you're watching or not.
You don't install anything, rent a server or touch a terminal. You pay for the bot, we build the server, and the bot starts practising with virtual SOL a few minutes later.
Two bots
| Solana Block-0 Sniper | Solana Momentum Sniper | |
|---|---|---|
| What it buys | New tokens as their dev creates them, bought in the block they land, on the launchpads you choose | Pump.fun tokens that are already climbing |
| When it buys | As soon as it sees a launch that passes your filters | After a token shows enough real buying, measured over a short window |
| Launchpads | Pump.fun, Raydium LaunchLab, StonkFun, Surge, Bonk.fun, Meteora DBC, Moonshot, Jupiter Studio, Believe, Bags and PumpSwap (one included) | Pump.fun, and PumpSwap once a token graduates |
| Who it suits | People who want to be in early and accept that most launches go nowhere | People who would rather miss the start and buy fewer, busier tokens |
You can run one bot, or both on the same plan. Read Solana Block-0 Sniper and Solana Momentum Sniper for how each one decides.
Your own private server
Each plan is one private server in the region you choose (Frankfurt unless you change it). Nothing else runs on it: no other customer's bot, and no shared wallet. The server comes with everything the bot needs to see launches and send trades, so there is nothing for you to connect.
In the app you never see the server. You see your bots, their trades and their wallet. Plans show up only in Billing, as "Plan 1 (Frankfurt)". If you like to look under the hood, the Advanced switch shows the server, its logs and a terminal (Terminal and harkctl).
Only your server holds the key
Your bot's wallet is created on your server. The private key never leaves it, and AllenHark has no copy. That means:
- AllenHark can't move your SOL, and nobody at AllenHark will ever ask for your key or PIN;
- withdrawals only go to addresses you saved yourself, protected by your PIN, an email code and a 24-hour wait;
- if you stop paying, the bot stops buying but you can still withdraw.
Wallet and security explains each step.
Practice first
Every new bot starts in practice. It watches real launches and trades them with 10 virtual SOL, with fees and slippage counted as a real trade would pay them, but nothing is sent to the network. Practice numbers are grey and marked Practice, and they are never added to live numbers.
When you've seen how your settings do, you choose how careful the bot should be, add SOL, and go live. You can go back to practice at any time.
Simple and Advanced
The app starts in Simple mode: about eight controls in trader words (budget, spend per token, take profit, stop loss, daily loss limit, launchpads, style and speed). The Advanced switch, one per account, shows everything else: every setting the bot has, per-launchpad values, the raw config, versions, logs, schedule and the terminal.
Most people never need Advanced. If you're new to bots, stay in Simple.
What it costs
You pay a monthly price per bot, plus any add-ons you choose. AllenHark takes no share of your trades. Every trade also pays Solana's own network and priority fees and, by default, a small tip to the AllenHark relay that sends it (you can turn the relay off for all but buys and urgent sells in Expert settings); the app shows all of it next to your PnL. See Plans and billing.
Before you start
Most new tokens go to zero, and a bot can lose many trades in a row. Practise first, set a stop loss, and only add SOL you're comfortable losing. Read the risk disclosure.
