# Auto Sniping

Auto Sniping automatically purchases a newly launched token the moment liquidity is added to its trading pair.

{% hint style="info" %}
To auto snipe a new token launch, you need to obtain the contract address before liquidity is added to the token pair. Follow the [Banana SOL Deployer channel](https://t.me/bananadeployerSOL), to find newly deployed contracts for sniping. Keep in mind that most token deployments are scams—do your own research to find the best tokens to snipe.

Default values for "Auto Spend," "Auto Snipe Gas," "Anti-MEV," "MEV Tip," and "Slippage" are imported from your "[Snipe Presets](https://banana-gun.gitbook.io/banana-gun-solana/advanced-features/pages/YH9duSZ5M1LlLrkWTCkv#id-3.-snipe-presets)" menu. When you customize these values in the "Auto Snipe" menu, your changes will automatically update in "Snipe Presets" as well.
