How I Built the Fastest TON Memecoin Sniper Alert Bot (Golden-Memecoin-Alert)

#webdev #python #blockchain #web3

TON memecoins move insanely fast in late 2025 – early 2026.

Most tokens reach peak hype in the first 5–30 minutes after liquidity addition.

By the time you see them trending on DexScreener, Telegram channels or Twitter — the move is usually 70–90% over.

I got tired of missing entries, so I built Golden-Memecoin-Alert — a focused, low-latency sniper alert system specifically for TON.

Repo: https://github.com/ilyarah/Golden-Memecoin-Alert

Core Design Goals

  • Detect new Jetton pools within seconds of meaningful liquidity addition
  • Aggressive pre-filtering to remove 90–95% obvious rugs/scams instantly
  • Very high signal-to-noise ratio (quality over quantity)
  • Beautiful, instantly actionable Telegram messages
  • Minimal latency end-to-end

** Architecture (high-level)**

TON Center / TonAPI websocket ──► New pool / liquidity tx detector
                                    ↓
                          Pre-filtering engine (5–7 quick checks)
                                    ↓
                        Scoring engine (0–100) + threshold
                                    ↓
                 Async Telegram delivery (aiohttp + python-telegram-bot)
                                    ↓
                    Redis for deduping & rate limiting alerts

**
Key filtering layers (all executed in <1 second):**

  1. Liquidity threshold (configurable, usually ≥$30–50k initial)
  2. Creator wallet age + tx history (very young or no history → high risk)
  3. Dev wallet concentration after first minutes
  4. Sell-tax / honeypot simulation (via quick buy/sell emulation)
  5. Early holder distribution (top 5 wallets < 40–50% preferred)
  6. Basic social presence check (Telegram group creation near launch)

Only tokens passing most filters go to scoring.

Scoring Factors (current weights – subject to change)

  • On-chain momentum (volume, buys/sells ratio) → 35%
  • Holder distribution & dev wallet behavior → 25%
  • Social signals (Telegram growth speed) → 20%
  • Risk indicators (tax, honeypot flags) → 15%
  • Time since launch penalty (harder to get high score later) → 5%

Alert threshold currently ~78–82 (very strict).

Real-world performance (first ~2 months private run)

  • ~180 high-confidence alerts
  • ~38% reached ≥5× from alert price
  • ~11 tokens did 20×–120×
  • False positive rate ~9–11%
  • Median latency: 22 seconds (best cases <10s)

Still far from perfect, but meaningfully better than manual monitoring or most public Telegram scanners.

Current Telegram Alert Format

Tech Stack (as of v0.1)

  • Python 3.11+ (asyncio heavy)
  • TON Center API v2 + TonAPI websocket
  • python-telegram-bot (async)
  • aiohttp + Redis (caching & dedup)
  • FastAPI for internal monitoring dashboard (optional)

** How to Run Your Own Instance**

git clone https://github.com/ilyarah/Golden-Memecoin-Alert.git
cd Golden-Memecoin-Alert

# Install
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Create .env from .env.example
# Fill TON_API_KEY, TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN, etc.

python main.py
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Security warning

Never run with main wallet.

Always review the code yourself.

Use limited balance wallets only.

Final Notes

The TON memecoin meta changes every few weeks.

Tools that crushed in Q4 2025 are already lagging in Q1 2026.

I open-sourced Golden-Memecoin-Alert because:

  • I believe collective improvement beats solo edge
  • The community can make it faster and smarter than I ever could alone

PRs, forks, and brutal feedback are extremely welcome.

Stay early.

Stay sharp.
