Sniper tax
An extra fee on buys in the first seconds after a launch, so bots can't grab a coin before people can.
Bots try to buy a new coin in the very first second, before any person can react, and then sell it to everyone else. The sniper tax makes that expensive.

How it works
- It counts from the launch transaction. At second 0 a buy pays 99% on top of the normal fees. Halfway through, about half that. From second 10 on, nothing.
- It goes to the platform, not to the creator, so a creator can't profit from snipers.
- The creator's own first buy, made inside the launch transaction, pays no sniper tax.
- Each coin keeps the sniper settings it was launched with.
Just wait a few seconds
The trade panel shows the sniper tax right now, with a warning while it's on. Waiting 10 seconds brings it to 0%.
