Most traders hear about a memecoin after it migrates to Raydium. By then, you’re late. You’re buying some sniper’s exit. If you want 30x, you have to move before migration — while the token is still bonding on Pump.fun.
Here’s exactly how the pros are doing it with Banana Pro, and why most bots get wrecked while they walk away with profits.
Why Sniping Pre-Migration Matters
Pump.fun tokens start life in a bonding curve — cheap early, expensive later. The minute they migrate to Raydium, bots flood the pool, slippage spikes, and sandwich attacks kick in. If you’re sniping at migration, you’re already exit liquidity.
Sniping before migration gives you:
- Early entry pricing
- First-mover volume
- The ability to sell into the migration pump
Step 1: Use “The Trenches” Feed on Banana Pro
The Trenches page shows you live data from Pump.fun and Moonshot:
- 🔴 Newly deployed tokens
- 🟡 Tokens close to migration
- 🟢 Tokens that just migrated
Hover on tokens to pause the feed, check bonding progress, and filter by migration %, sniper wallet presence, or deployer holdings.
Step 2: Filter for Non-Botted Tokens
Before you snipe, check:
- Top 10 Holders → Are they clustered? Avoid.
- % held by snipers → Over 40%? Risky.
- Social links present → Real project or zero effort?
- Deploy wallet dominance → Over 30% supply? Probably a rug.
Use Banana Pro’s filter bar to show only tokens with:
- ✅ < 10% deployer
- ✅ > 2 socials
- ✅ Low sniper presence
Step 3: Configure Your Snipe Like a Pro
Once you find a promising token:
- Paste the contract into Banana Pro Dashboard
- Open the SNIPE widget
- Set:
- SOL Amount: How much to buy
- Min/Max Liquidity: To avoid dust or bloated pools
- Min Tokens: Stop slippage wrecks
- Slippage & Duration: We recommend 5–7%, 2 hours
- Priority Fee & MEV Tip: Always add to skip queues
Pro Tip: Use MEV Protection (Jito) to avoid sandwiches. Public = fast but risky.
Step 4: Multi-Wallet = Multi-Snipe
Want to look like 10 people bought instead of one?
Use Banana Pro’s multi-wallet mode:
- Import/generate several wallets
- Fund them with SOL
- Select “All Wallets” before executing your snipe
This helps avoid blacklists, bot front-runs, and deployer blocks.
Step 5: Exit Before the Crowd Does
Once a token migrates:
- Watch for liquidity spikes or dev wallet activity
- Place a limit sell order in Banana Pro to exit at your target cap
- Don’t wait for Twitter or TG alpha — it’s already too late by then
Smart traders make more by selling to the hype, not buying into it.
TL;DR: Pump.fun Sniping Without Becoming Exit Liquidity
Want to win the game before others even load the map? Here’s your sniper flow with Banana Pro:
- Discover unmigrated tokens using the Trenches Feed — track new deployments and tokens close to bonding completion in real time.
- Filter out botted or sketchy tokens by checking migration percentage, top holders, and whether there are actual social links.
- Set your sniper parameters in the Snipe Widget — define SOL amount, liquidity caps, token minimums, and execution rules.
- Activate MEV Protection and priority fees in the Snipe Settings to front-run the bots, not get front-ran.
- Trade across multiple wallets using Multi-Wallet Mode, so you look like 10 buyers instead of one, avoiding bot blacklists.
- Exit before the dump by setting up Limit Sell Orders immediately after entry — take profit on your terms, not theirs.
This is how Banana Pro users consistently extract value before the crowd gets rekt.
Most people chase charts. Banana Pro users control them.
If you want to consistently snipe tokens before they migrate, front-run the herd, and extract value without becoming someone else’s exit — this is the stack. No scripts. No guessing. Just precision and speed.

FAQ
What’s the difference between Pump.fun and Raydium?
Pump.fun is a bonding-curve launchpad — tokens are bought directly from the curve, and prices increase as bonding progresses. Raydium is the decentralized exchange where tokens migrate once bonded, allowing open market trading. Migration = volatility, bots, and chaos.
How do I know a token is about to migrate?
Use Banana Pro’s Trenches feed and filter for tokens close to 100% bonded. A green progress bar signals that a token is near migration. You can also sort by "Close to Migration" directly in the UI.
What’s the best slippage and duration to use for snipes?
We recommend:
- Slippage: 5–7% (tight enough to avoid frontruns, loose enough to ensure execution)
- Duration: 1–2 hours (depending on how fast the curve is filling)
Adjust based on how crowded the token looks.
Why do bots keep front-running my buys?
If you're sniping with public routing and low MEV tips, validators prioritize bots paying higher gas. Banana Pro offers MEV Protection (Jito) and priority fees to jump the queue. Use them.
What if my snipe fails?
Snipes can fail if:
- Slippage is too low
- Liquidity doesn’t match your conditions
- Contract has anti-bot code or deployer blocks
- You're late — the token has already migrated
Check the Pending Orders widget for error reasons and tweak your config.
How do I use multiple wallets for sniping?
In Banana Pro:
- Add or import several wallets in the Wallets widget.
- Fund each with SOL.
- In the SNIPE or BUY widget, click the wallet icon and choose “All Wallets”.
- Each wallet will execute independently — great for evading deployer blocks or sniper traps.
Can I automate sell orders right after I snipe?
Yes. Use Quick Sell Limit in the Trenches Quick Settings:
- Set a trigger market cap
- Set a % to auto-sell once that cap hits
This is critical for exiting into peak migration pumps.
How do I avoid rugs?
Look for:
- High deployer wallet % (bad)
- No social links (bad)
- High sniper % (sus)
- No Telegram, no X, no volume? Avoid.
Use Banana Pro’s token info + filters to spot red flags early.
Can I still make money if I miss the migration?
Sometimes. If the project builds hype post-migration, volume can sustain. But most profits happen before migration — that’s when insiders buy. If you're late, trade with tight slippage or avoid entirely.
