🧵 The new “Rug-Proof” telegram Snipers being promoted on PulseChain are NOT protecting you
The marketing sounds great
“Protect yourself from rugs”
“Automatically exit before the founder dumps”
The reality? These features just get used against you
🧵 Here’s why:
How “Rug-Proof Mode” Is Supposed To Work
The concept is simple:
- You activate the sniper
- You buy into a new launch
- The bot monitors the deployer wallet
- If the founder approves tokens for sale or initiates a swap, the bot attempts to front-run them
- Your position gets sold before the founder’s transaction lands
Sounds great on paper
The problem is that everyone knows these bots exist
How it’s used against users:
1. Legit Founders Can Use It Against You:
Imagine a founder launching a legitimate project, they know a percentage of buyers are running these “rug-proof” snipers
So what happens?
The founder approves tokens and sells a tiny amount. The users snipers detects the activity and immediately market-sells every user position it controls
Now all the sniper users have dumped themselves out of the trade
The project continues and the founder removed a large subset of snipers with one action
The bot didn’t protect them, it was used against them
2. Malicious Founders Can Easily Bypass It:
Now let’s look at an actual scammer
Do you think they’re going to follow the exact behavior your bot is watching for?
Of course not! They simply transfer tokens to another wallet, use that different wallet to sell
Your sniper never sees the trigger it was programmed to watch
The scammer dumps and you get rugged
**This Isn’t New Technology
These “rug-proof” concepts have been recycled for years
They are just word salad to get you to use their snipers for fees or subscriptions
Every cycle, people learn the same lesson: you cannot automate away risk with a simple trigger
**PulseChain found AI and are using it to build these things, which is a whole different issue, but don’t be fooled by the garbage being released
