04 / Cost

Being slow is expensive

Land a few blocks late and someone else buys first, so you pay more for the exact same token. These are the prices each bot actually paid, run over a year of heavy trading.

05 / Method

How the test works

Three ideas are all you need to read the results.

  • Blocks are the clock

    Elysium, the HyperEVM rollup, records transactions in blocks, one after another, about every 0.11 seconds. Each block is one tick of a very fast clock.

  • launch→ +1 → +2 →+3

    The launch is block zero

    A sniper’s job is to buy as soon as a token goes live. We count how many blocks after the launch each bot’s buy was confirmed. Fewer blocks means a faster snipe.

  • who lands first?

    Same token, same moment

    All three bots were watching the same launches. Block numbers only go up, so the lower block number was confirmed first. Every buy is linked below.

06 / Evidence

Check every number on the chain

Every number here comes straight from the blockchain. The table at the bottom links each buy so you can check it yourself on elyscan.live.

Dawn bought first in all 3 launches.

Each launch was a brand-new token. Whichever bot’s buy lands first gets the best price.

Dawn’s quickest buy came 0.11 s after launch.

On Launch 2, Dawn bought in the very next block after the token went live.

Based paid 0.12% more per token than Dawn.

Same token, slightly worse price. Worked out from what each bot paid and how many tokens it got back (bot fees not included).

This is how block counts in this post become seconds. We timed it across this whole test.

07 / FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers4 questions

Which sniper bot is fastest on Elysium?
Dawn. In this test it bought first in all 3 launches, on average 0.26 seconds ahead of Based, and was 2.0× faster than Based counted from the launch. Bloom landed a buy on only 1 of the 3 launches.
How was speed measured?
By block number. Each launch's token-creation transaction is block zero, and each bot's speed is how many blocks later its buy was confirmed. Blocks were turned into seconds using Elysium's measured block time: 11,179 blocks in 1,244 seconds, about 0.111 s a block.
Can I check the results myself?
Yes. Every launch and every buy in the table above links to its transaction on elyscan.live, and each bot’s wallet is linked too.
Do the price figures include bot fees?
No. Price per token is what each bot put into the pool divided by the tokens it got back, read from each buy's swap logs. Bot fees are left out, so the comparison is the pool price alone.
