# 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.&#x20;
