Intro

This has been sitting in my drafts for too long, finished the dots & I hope it helps and if I miss something, let me know. Anything here can be used for your daily degen grind, regular research and can greatly increase your general knowledge and awareness of the availability of several tools out there.

Wallet setup

Most people including me use Telegram bots like BananaGun and Maestro for most trades/snipes. It’s best to generate your wallet in Maestro and then import the private seeds to your browser wallet.

Read more: Why should you use BananaGun?

If you don’t want to use Telegram bots (tho, I highly recommend you do), you can also swap on Uniswap or KibaSwap with a wallet like MetaMask or Rabby.

I prefer Rabby, you can use the same MetaMask seed to switch to MetaMask if Rabby doesn’t work on a specific dApp. You can find links to the wallets here.

Honeypot checking

Always compare results of multiple safety tools and make a wise decision. No tool is the best, and no tool can detect every honeypot, new honeypot methods are introduced on a daily basis.

• Discord: Rick Sanchez
• Telegram: Rick Sanchez - SUSBot - HP.IS

Anti-MEV

This is a must-read or you will lose money - Banana does this by default, Maestro has a setting called Anti-MEV.

MEV and Sandwich Attacks on EVM: A Definitive Guide to Security

“Frontrunning on EVM is the practice of watching blockchain transactions in order to gain an advantage. It occurs when someone watches a transaction being broadcast to the network, and then quickly submits their own transaction before the original is mined, thus allowing them to benefit from the original transaction.” - In other words, MEV bots use your maximum slippage to their benefit, and slurp your money. How to protect yourself from this? Use an anti-MEV RPC so your transactions are not vi…

Essentials

• DexScreener - Where I keep watchlists and do most charting
• DexSpy - Monitor pending (dev) TX, token launches & live HP data
  • Use this on token launches because it’s the fastest & checks pending TX’s.
• BananaGun bot - for sniping tokens in Telegram
• Maestro - Telegram sniper/bot
• Fast searching - Search Twitter/EtherScan & more in Chrome URL bar
• Chrome bookmark scripts - To switch between most tools without copy pasting contracts.
• KibaSwap - better UniSwap alternative

Research

Some tools & tricks I use that help me do DD.

• On-chain/wallet tracking
  • EthTxTrackerBot - ETH only tracker
  • Cielo - dApp + TG and does multichain
  • Bloxy - alternative explorer, good for checking wallets
• Contract hunting
  • ETH - Contract deploys [TG]
  • ETH - New Pairs [TG]
• Unibot New Token Scanner
  • Similar feeds & more available for Server Boosters in Alpha Pack. These are the ones I personally use, but I’m a Discord maxi.
• Always label wallets in Etherscan
• BubbleMaps - reveal linked holder wallets for any token (paid)
• Use MetaDock to enhance your explorers
• Price Widget - replaces contracts with simple market data and highlights malicious contracts
• Moni - Twitter Analytics tool (NFT gated)

Other useful tools

• Tax Inspector - check how much tax has been farmed on a token
• iToken Locked - good channel for token locks, more spammy version here
• TUFext - Popular tool from TUF Sniper Bot (paid tiers)
• If you ever need gas on some chain
• chains is my go-to reference for every chain (in combination with How to search Talk Markets (and more) quickly from your URL bar?
• MetaSleuth - on chain wallet analysis and connections
• There is much more on Talk.Markets, and I probably missed some, but too much to put in a short cheatsheet. So browse around for yourself if you find the time.

Communities

Socialize, make friends, there are many private/smaller groups out there, here are some publics to get started.

• Cryptic
• Aeon’s Gem Chat
• Thread from Zulq

Random thoughts

• Besides the feeds in my discord I heavily rely on, check out this and this if you prefer Telegram.

• Check early buyers in EtherScan to find good wallets to track.

• Learn how slippage works. Some Maestro tips:

  • For buying launches: I personally use 99% slippage and Anti-MEV in Maestro for most of my apes. This is not the fastest, but it is the safest because you avoid getting sandwiched and still get in the token 99% of the time. This config is one I can use on any token without thinking.
  • Using slippage above 100% is risky, it’s better to increase your gas delta and try to get in just a bit earlier instead.
  • Experiment with different settings, this is a personal choice. There are no best-settings IMO.

• Be on Twitter and follow interesting accounts. Much alpha can be found on Twitter, and it doesn’t always have to be from accounts with large followings.

• Following everything is a lot, you can’t. I keep track of most things in Alpha Pack with the feeds I built over the years.
