4: FAQ
Question 1: How to handle token prices not updating in the Sell bot?
- If Telegram stops updating messages in the Sell bot, simply paste the contract address into the Sell bot again. This will remove the old message and load the updated information.
Question 2: How to determine if a transaction was a private transaction?
- Visit Etherscan and check the transaction's timestamp. If it shows "xx seconds ago", it's a private transaction. If it shows a specific time, it's a public transaction.
Question 3: What is First Bundle or Fail (FoF) and how should it be used?
- FoF is a Banana Gun feature that combines the power of users to fire on a token as one. It can only land in block 0 as the first bundle. It's recommended to turn FoF on when at least 10 wallets are sniping the token.
Question 4: How to view the transaction tip on Etherscan?
- Visit the snipe transaction on Etherscan and check the "Gas Price" field. The difference between the actual paid Gas Price and the Base Fee is the tip.
Question 5: How does Banana Gun protect users from MEV (Maximum Extractable Value) attacks?
- Banana Gun provides anti-MEV protection by using private transactions instead of the public mempool, reducing the risk of sandwich attacks or other MEV exploits.
5: User Precautions
- Always remain vigilant, especially when using copy trading features, as target wallets may turn malicious.
- Use the spending limit feature to control the amount of funds used by a single wallet to reduce risk.
- Regularly check and update bot settings to adapt to market changes.
- Never share private keys; Banana Gun team members will never ask for them.
- Be extra cautious when using Degen mode, as it disables many safety features.
- For new tokens or unknown projects, it's advisable to start with small test transactions.
- Frequently backup wallet information to ensure fund security.
- Pay close attention to transaction fee settings to avoid high costs during periods of high gas fees.
