💸Buy Tokens

How to manually buy tokens.

Paste the token's contract address or URL (e.g., Dexscreener) to open the buy menu. Click the "Buy" button with the amount you want to purchase (preset or custom ETH amount). Wait for the "Buy Success" message. Important: The bot will automatically change to the network of the pasted contract address.

Once your transaction is complete, the token will be pinned above and show up automatically in the Banana Gun Sell Bot. You manage selling the token in the Sell Bot.

Troubleshooting Failed Transactions

• Increase the gas price (GWEI) for your buy transaction (e.g., from 15 to 50 GWEI or higher).

• For volatile tokens, increase slippage (e.g., from 2% to 10–30%).

Buy Menu

This menu appears after pasting a contract address or link into the Sniper Bot text box. It displays token information, buy options, and manual settings.

Token Info

Buy Menu Token Information

1. Token: Full token name.

2. Token Contract: Token contract address (CA).

3. DEX: Where the token is traded.

4. Safe to buy: Indicates whether the contract is malicious (red = not safe, green = safe). Always do your own research and double check this if it’s a new token.

5. Market Cap: Total value of all tokens in circulation.

6. Liquidity: Total value of assets in the token’s liquidity pool, displayed in ETH.

7. Contract Balance: Amount of tokens and the percentage of the total supply held by the token contract. Usually sold off automatically by the contract.

8. Tax: The contract’s buy (B), sell (S), and transfer (T) taxes at the time of pasting the contract.

9. Links: Quick access to blockchain explorers and charting platforms.

Buy Options

Buy tokens and adjust buy options in this menu. For more configurations, click the "Manual Settings" button.

Buy Options Menu

Enter new values or select red or green to enable or disable options. Review the descriptions below to understand each setting.

1. Network: Displays the network of the pasted token.

2. Wallet Change: Choose wallet(s) for trades. You can use multiple wallets at once. If none are selected, your default wallet will be used.

3. Buy GWEI: The GWEI you're willing to pay for buy orders. If unchanged, the default GWEI setting will be used.

4. Buy Buttons: Shows preset ETH buy amounts. Click "Buy X ETH" to enter a custom amount. Default button values can be adjusted in "Preset Settings."

5. Anti-Rug: Detects and frontruns contract changes that could make your tokens unsellable, selling them before they take effect.

   • Developers often "shake out" bot users with fake tax settings. If Anti-Rug is on, it will trigger.

   • Has an 80–85% success rate and only works on MEV blocks.

6. Transfer on Blacklist: If the developer tries to blacklist your wallet, Banana Gun automatically moves your tokens to your transfer wallet.

   • You must set up a transfer wallet in Banana Gun.

   • Transfer wallets require at least 0.1 ETH to function.

7. Slippage: Set the maximum price change (0–99%) you'll accept. 100% means unlimited slippage.

8. Limit Order: Set buy orders that execute when the price hits your target.

9. Pre Approve: The token is approved after sniping, allowing selling on the second block. If you want to sell in the first or second block, pre-approve the token.

10. Manual Settings: Opens the "Manual Settings" menu.

Manual Settings

Click "Manual Settings" to open this menu and adjust the buy settings for your current trade.

Changes in this menu apply only to your current token trade. Future trades will revert to the default settings.

Manual Settings Menu

For all gas settings, the GWEI value you set is added on top of the block's base GWEI (e.g., if the base GWEI is 15 and you set Buy GWEI to 5, your total gas price will be 20 GWEI). Increasing GWEI helps prioritize your transactions, making them execute faster and improving their position within the block.

1. Buy GWEI: Set additional GWEI for buy transactions.

2. Wallets: Adjust the number of wallets for sniping. Defaults to the main wallet if none are selected.

3. Approve GWEI: Set additional GWEI for approving tokens post-purchase.

4. Sell GWEI: Set additional GWEI for sell transactions.

5. Anti-Rug GWEI: Set additional GWEI for sell transactions when front-running a rug or tax change.

6. Sim Gas Limit: Set the max gas limit for simulated transactions to optimize execution and prevent excessive fees.

7. Buy Tax Limit: Snipe triggers only if the buy tax is at or below this limit. If higher, it stays in "pending mode" until the tax drops. Both buy tax and sell tax limits must be met for Banana Gun to fire.

8. Sell Tax Limit: Snipe triggers only if the sell tax is at or below this limit. If higher, it stays in "pending mode" until the tax drops.

9. Min Liquidity Limit: The snipe only triggers if the paired liquidity of the token is equal to or above this limit in USD.

10. Max Liquidity Limit: The snipe only triggers if the paired liquidity of the token is equal to or below this limit in USD.

11. Manual Settings Overview: View all manual settings for the current trade.
