Pink Anti-Bot Introducing

Overview​

This guide introduces Pink Anti-Bot, a feature offered by Pinksale to help protect your token launch on PancakeSwap from disruptive sniper bots. These bots often target new listings to gain an unfair advantage. Reading this will help you understand:

  • What Pink Anti-Bot is and the problem it aims to solve.
  • The key features and benefits of using this system.
  • How the mechanism works to deter bots (e.g., block delays, transaction limits).
  • The general steps involved in implementing Anti-Bot in your contract.
  • Where to find the official links provided in the Pinksale documentation.
  • Answers to common questions about the feature.

What is Pink Anti-Bot?​

Pink Anti-Bot is an optional feature designed to safeguard your token's listing on PancakeSwap. It aims to prevent sniper bots – automated programs that try to buy and sell tokens extremely quickly at launch – from manipulating the price and gaining an unfair advantage over genuine investors.

The image below illustrates the potential difference Anti-Bot can make during a launch:

Important: You typically need to decide whether to implement Pink Anti-Bot before creating your presale. If you choose to add it after your presale has filled but before launch, a service fee (mentioned as 1 BNB in the source) will apply.

Key Features​

  • Prevents bots from inflating the price immediately at listing.
  • Can add delays between transactions to prevent rapid, multiple swaps in the same block.
  • Allows control over the maximum amount of tokens tradable per transaction initially.
  • Enables the maximum tradable amount to increase gradually over time (based on blocks).
  • Provides the ability to manually add bot addresses (or any address) to a blacklist, preventing them from trading.

Mechanism: How it Works​

  • Optional Implementation: When creating tokens directly on Pinksale, you often have the option to enable Pink Anti-Bot. For custom contracts, integration is needed (see links below).
  • First Block Delay: Prevents any trading during the very first block when liquidity is added. Trading typically starts from the second block onwards.
  • Gradual Trading Limit Increase: The maximum amount of tokens allowed per trade starts low and increases gradually over a set number of blocks. This makes it difficult for bots to execute large, instant trades.
  • Automatic Disabling: After a configurable number of blocks, the trading amount limits and potentially the time limits per trade automatically stop working, allowing normal trading.
  • Customization: The creator can usually customize parameters like the initial trade limit, how quickly it increases, and the duration of the anti-bot measures.
  • Manual Blacklist: The creator retains the ability to manually add or remove addresses from the blacklist at any time. Blacklisted wallets cannot trade the token.

Implementation Procedure (General Steps)​

Implementing Pink Anti-Bot, especially for custom contracts, typically involves these general steps:

  1. Add the specific Pink Anti-Bot code snippet/library to your smart contract.
  2. Deploy the token contract with the integrated Anti-Bot code.
  3. Set the correct owner rights/permissions for managing the Anti-Bot features within the contract.
  4. Configure the Anti-Bot parameters (initial limits, duration, etc.) via contract functions.
  5. Enable the Anti-Bot system before launch.

Q&A (FAQs)​

  • Q1: Is Pink Anti-Bot guaranteed to stop all bots?
    • A: No system is 100% foolproof. While Pink Anti-Bot aims to deter common sniper bots effectively, sophisticated bots might still find ways to interact. It significantly raises the barrier for entry for most sniping activity at launch.
  • Q2: Does Pink Anti-Bot affect normal users?
    • A: During the initial active period (first few blocks/minutes), normal users will also be subject to the transaction amount limits and potential delays. However, these limits typically increase quickly and are designed to become unrestrictive shortly after launch.
  • Q3: Can I turn Anti-Bot off completely after launch?
    • A: Yes, the system is designed to automatically stop limiting trades after a configured period. Additionally, the contract owner usually retains control to disable features or adjust parameters (though disabling it completely might defeat its initial purpose).
  • Q4: Do I need this if I'm not listing on PancakeSwap?
    • A: The description specifically mentions safeguarding PancakeSwap listings. While the principles might apply elsewhere, its effectiveness and configuration might be tailored for PancakeSwap's environment. If listing on a different DEX, verify if this system is compatible or necessary.

Troubleshooting​

  • Q: The provided links under "Pink Anti-Bot Links" don't work.
    • A: As noted in the link analysis, the links presented in the source document appear to be malformed combinations of multiple URLs. Clicking them directly will likely lead to an error page. You may need to manually separate the individual https://... parts within the long string or search directly on the Pinksale documentation site or YouTube for guides related to "Pink Anti-Bot".
  • Q: I enabled Anti-Bot, but bots still bought early.
    • A: Ensure Anti-Bot was configured correctly with appropriate limits and duration before liquidity was added. Check if the system was actually enabled via the contract function. Some bots might operate in ways Anti-Bot doesn't prevent (e.g., interacting directly with routers in complex ways), or the configuration might have been too lenient.
  • Q: Normal users are complaining they can't buy/sell due to Anti-Bot limits long after launch.
    • A: Verify the Anti-Bot parameters in your contract. The system should automatically disable trade limits after a set number of blocks. If it seems stuck, the contract owner may need to manually adjust or disable the limits via the contract's "Write Contract" functions on a block explorer.
