Copy Trading

Copy Trading

Automatically replicate on-chain trades with a consistent execution edge — powered by shred-stream access, colocated bare-metal infrastructure, and 6 geographically distributed sending nodes.

How copy trading works

block.λ monitors the Solana shred stream — raw transaction data gossiped by validators as they build blocks. When a buy signal from a tracked wallet appears in the stream, the system immediately:

1. Parses the incoming shred for the relevant token and amount.
2. Constructs and signs your mirrored transaction.
3. Broadcasts from all 6 geographically distributed nodes simultaneously.

This pipeline runs entirely in-memory on bare-metal servers colocated with Solana validators.

Shred Streams

Standard copy bots wait for a transaction to be confirmed on-chain before reacting — by then the market has moved. block.λ operates on raw shred data: unconfirmed fragments gossiped before a block is finalized, arriving ~200ms earlier.

What are shreds?

In Solana, a shred is a fragment of an in-progress block produced by the current slot leader. Validators gossip shreds to each other as they build the block — well before it is finalized and confirmed by the rest of the network. By connecting directly to this gossip layer, block.λ observes transaction data approximately 200ms earlier than an observer waiting for block confirmation.

Signal detection pipeline

1. Receive shreds via UDP from nearby validators.
2. Reconstruct partial block data from shred fragments.
3. Parse instructions to identify buy transactions for monitored wallets.
4. Dispatch your copy transaction immediately upon match.

The entire process from shred receipt to transaction dispatch runs in <5ms on our infrastructure.

Jito and standard nodes

block.λ broadcasts to both Jito block engines and standard Solana RPC nodes simultaneously:

• Jito — preferred when the current leader is Jito-enabled; provides MEV bundle priority and faster inclusion.
• Standard nodes — parallel path ensuring coverage when the leader is a non-Jito validator.

Multi-Geography Broadcasting

The Solana slot leader changes every ~400ms and can be located anywhere on Earth. Network latency between the submitting node and the current leader can add 50–200ms to your inclusion time — equivalent to missing one to four slot transitions.

Sending nodes

Location	Region	Primary targets
Amsterdam	Europe West	EU validators, Hetzner cluster
Frankfurt	Europe Central	DE validators, AWS eu-central
London	Europe North	UK validators, transatlantic path
Ashburn, VA	North America East	US East validators, Equinix DC10
Singapore	Asia Pacific	APAC validators
Tokyo Soon	Asia East	JP validators

Replicated execution

The bot runs independently on each of the 6 nodes. Every node detects the signal from its local shred stream connection and submits the transaction to its nearest validator peers autonomously — no cross-node coordination is needed. Whichever node is closest to the current slot leader achieves earliest inclusion, typically reducing worst-case inclusion latency by 40–60% compared to single-region execution.

Colocation & Infrastructure

block.λ infrastructure runs in the same physical data centers as most Solana validators, providing sub-millisecond signal paths. Network latency has two components: transmission delay (the speed of light over fiber) and switching/routing delay (hops through intermediate routers). By colocating in the same facility, routing delay is eliminated almost entirely.

Data center hubs

The majority of Solana stake is concentrated in a handful of facilities. block.λ operates hardware directly in these hubs:

• Equinix DA11 (Dallas) — largest single concentration of Solana stake
• Hetzner Falkenstein — largest European validator cluster
• Equinix DC10 (Ashburn) — US East transit hub
• Equinix SG1 (Singapore) — APAC validators

Bare-metal vs cloud

block.λ runs on dedicated bare-metal servers, not cloud VMs. Cloud hypervisors introduce unpredictable latency spikes (1–10ms) due to CPU scheduling and NUMA effects. Bare-metal eliminates the hypervisor entirely, giving deterministic sub-millisecond processing times even under heavy load.

Filters and controls

Parameter	Description

Rug Sniping

Rug Sniping

A continuously updated feed of the best-performing rugs, enriched with performance metrics, bundle detection, and dev wallet flags — ready for one-click sniping at full execution speed.

---

What is rug sniping?

On pump.fun, hundreds of tokens are created every day. Most are near-instant rugs — tokens that spike sharply and immediately fall back. A rug sniper buys in early during the spike and sells at ATH.

The challenge is identifying the right tokens fast enough. block.λ aggregates and ranks every rug of the day so you never have to manually scan for opportunities.

The rug feed

block.λ collects and analyzes every token created on pump.fun throughout the day. The feed is:

• Refreshed every 5 minutes (Pro/Expert) or every 6 hours (Simple)
• Sortable by performance (max % ATH from creation), recency, or market cap
• Enriched with bundle detection, dev wallet flags, and MR/ATH metrics

Key metrics

Column	Meaning
ATH %	All-time-high price as a % of the creation price
Performance	Max achievable TP if bought at creation and sold at ATH
Bundle	Whether the launch included bundled transactions (dev snipe signal)
Dev wallet	How many tokens the dev holds / has sold
MR	Market cap at ATH in SOL
Time to ATH	How quickly the token reached its ATH after creation

Refresh cadence by plan

Plan	Refresh	History window
Simple	Every 6 hours	Last 6 hours
Pro	Every hour	Full day (24h)
Expert	Every hour	Last 7 days

Spotting & filtering

The Rug Sniping dashboard presents rugs in a sortable, filterable table. Each row is one token created on pump.fun and includes every metric needed to decide whether to snipe it.

Dashboard overview

Click any column header to sort. Each row expands to show the full token breakdown: on-chain pool address, creation transaction, dev wallet history, and a direct snipe button.

Sorting & filtering

Useful strategies:

• Sort by Performance ↓ — find the highest-return tokens of the day first
• Sort by Time to ATH ↑ — find fast-spike tokens ideal for quick scalps
• Filter Bundle = false — exclude dev-bundled launches (higher execution risk)

Sniping best performers

When you spot a token worth trading, click Snipe on its row. The bot will fetch the current price and liquidity from the on-chain pool, construct a buy transaction using your configured wallet and SOL amount, then broadcast simultaneously from all 6 sending nodes.

One-click snipe

1. Fetch the current price and liquidity from the on-chain pool.
2. Construct a buy transaction using your configured wallet and SOL amount.
3. Broadcast simultaneously from all 6 sending nodes.

Understanding the performance metric

The Performance % column shows the maximum return achievable if you had bought at token creation and sold at ATH. It is a historical measure of how aggressively the token spiked.

High-performance tokens tend to repeat similar spike patterns from the same dev wallet. Expert plan subscribers have access to the backtracker bot, which automatically analyses a dev wallet's launch history on Solscan to identify serial high-performing launchers.

Auto-Follow Wallets

Sophisticated traders frequently rotate wallets to avoid being tracked. The auto-follow feature monitors a source wallet for outgoing SOL transfers and automatically adds the destination wallet to your copy trading watchlist.

How auto-follow works

When a tracked wallet sends SOL above the configured threshold to a new address, block.λ immediately adds that destination to your watchlist — or starts copying immediately if auto_trade is enabled. This ensures you never lose a trader just because they switched wallets.

Configuration parameters

Parameter	Description
min_transfer_sol	Minimum transfer size to trigger an auto-follow (avoids dust noise)
max_transfer_sol	Upper bound — ignores large wallet-consolidation transfers
auto_trade	Immediately copy the new wallet, or only add to watchlist for manual review

Configuration

Wallets

Manage the Solana wallets your bot uses to execute trades. block.λ supports multiple wallets per account, each assignable to separate strategies.

Add a wallet

Navigate to Settings → Wallets and click Add wallet. Paste your Solana private key in base58 or JSON array format. The key is encrypted with AES-256 before storage and is never returned in API responses or logs.

Multiple wallets

You can configure multiple wallets and assign each to different strategies. This lets you separate risk exposure — for example, one wallet for copy trading and a separate one for rug sniping with a different SOL limit.

Balance monitoring

The dashboard shows each wallet's current SOL balance in real time. A warning is shown when a wallet's balance drops below your configured minimum reserve.

Strategies

A strategy defines the entry and exit logic applied to every copy trade. You can run multiple strategies in parallel, each pointing to a different wallet and target wallet set.

Preset strategies

• Classic Copy — buy when the target wallet buys, sell when they sell.
• TP/SL Auto-Close — buy on signal, auto-sell at configurable take-profit or stop-loss percentages.
• Timed Exit — buy on signal, auto-sell after a fixed duration regardless of price.
• Trailing Stop — buy on signal, auto-sell when the price drops a configurable % below the running high.

Custom strategies

Contact our team to implement custom signal logic. Examples include: "enter when buy count in last 12s > 60 AND total fees paid in last 60s > $20" or "copy only when wallet has made 3+ profitable trades this week".

Custom strategies are available on Pro and Expert plans.

Take-Profit & Stop-Loss

TP/SL parameters can be set globally (for all positions in a strategy) or overridden per-position directly from the dashboard. Monitoring runs on-chain at sub-second granularity — positions are closed as soon as the condition is detected in the shred stream.

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Default
take_profit_pct	Sell when position is up this %	None (manual)
stop_loss_pct	Sell when position is down this %	None (manual)
trailing_stop_pct	Trail below the running high by this %	None
max_hold_seconds	Force-close after this many seconds regardless of price	None

Per-position overrides

Expand any open position row in the dashboard and click Edit TP/SL to set values that override the strategy defaults for that specific position only. Useful when you want to lock in a profit on one position without changing the strategy globally.
