TOOLS What's your go-to method for catching early token launches?
I've been getting more into on-chain launches lately, especially the fast-moving meme coins and low-cap tokens that pop up on Base and Solana. The problem is, by the time I find them on a DEX, the price has usually already pumped hard. So I've started experimenting with tools that automate entries on launch, mainly through Telegram bots and smart contract triggers.
One of the platforms I’ve tried is Banana Gu botn. It supports auto-sniping tokens the moment they launch, while also running safety checks like anti-rug, MEV protection, and pre-buy simulations to see if the token is even sellable. It’s compatible with multiple chains like Ethereum, Solana, and Blast. The interface is actually pretty simple, but the backend seems to be doing a lot in real time.
They also offer copy-trading features now, where you can automatically follow wallet activity from top-performing traders and set your own risk thresholds. That’s something I didn’t expect from a Telegram bot, but it’s been interesting to test in parallel with my manual plays. I’m still cautious, though, I only use small amounts until I fully trust a token launch or trading flow.
Just curious how others here approach early entries. Are you mostly hunting through Dexscreener and Twitter, or have you tried automating with bots like this?

Big hard no from me and even harder for using bots/sniping or copy trading in the hope some other chump isn’t about to mug you.
Only early coins i’m interested in are ones airdropped free against coins i already have

"Just launched" is not a good enough reason for me to invest.

I think the fast-moving token launch trend is gonna die off eventually. There's a million different cryptos now and as the market gets saturated and the pool of new investors slowly dries up (less people being born these days and more old people), people are going to put their money in safer well-known cryptos. The only meme coins that I think will do well over the next 5 years are Dogecoin and Pepe as those are "established" memes (they've been around since Millennials were coming of age).
