Quicker Solana slots haven't curbed memecoin bot sniping, Bitquery data shows

TradingGain NewsroomTradingGain Newsroom··27 Oct 2026, 04:20 UTC

Solana made its slots faster with a final 200ms reduction, but Bitquery data suggests bots still snipe memecoins quickly. Outside buying within about 1.3 seconds reached 53%, compared with 52% in earlier samples. For traders, faster chain timing alone may not protect new memecoin buyers from bots.

Why it matters

  • Bitquery measured outside buying within about 1.3 seconds at 53%, versus 52% in earlier samples.
  • The data covers samples from before and after Solana's final 200ms reduction in slot timing.
  • Memecoin buyers may still face bot competition even after Solana's faster slot changes.

What to watch next

Watch for new Bitquery sniping data on Solana memecoins after the 200ms change to judge whether bot activity is shifting.

Solana Adds 1 SOL Cost to Bug Reports as AI Spam Swamps Reviewers

Solana researchers must now permanently burn 1 SOL for each bug submission. The change followed a monthlong contest that drew 809 reports, most of which AI is believed to have generated or written. For traders, the permanent burn removes SOL from circulation, and the spam problem shows how AI is straining network security work.
