How I Made $3k in a Week with a Custom TypeScript Crypto Bot
I’ve always been fascinated by the Solana ecosystem, particularly its speed and low transaction costs. After months of learning and development, I built a sniping bot that helped me earn $3,000 in just one week. Here’s my story and the technical details of how I did it.
Introduction
Before diving into the results, I should mention that I spent three months learning Solana development and studying market patterns. This wasn’t an overnight success — it required careful planning, testing, and numerous failed attempts before getting it right.
What’s Sniping?!
Sniping in crypto trading, particularly on Solana, is essentially being among the first to buy a new token right when it launches or when liquidity is added. Here’s how it works and generates profits:
The Basic Concept:
- When new tokens launch, they often start at a very low price
- Early buyers can purchase tokens before the price increases from initial trading activity
- As more people discover and buy the token, the price typically rises
- Early buyers (snipers) can then sell their tokens at a higher price for a profit
