high-performance Solana copy-trading bot written in Rust

A high-performance Solana copy-trading bot written in Rust. It watches a target wallet’s on-chain activity and mirrors trades on Raydium and Pump.fun as soon as matching transactions appear.

I open-sourced solana-copytrading-bot for developers in Solana Web3 development. This post walks through what it does, how the pieces fit together, and how to run it locally.

Why I built this

Automate trading or snipe strategies with a typed codebase
Backtest ideas before deploying with real capital
Extend the bot with your own risk rules and market filters

Most tutorials stop at a smart contract or a UI mockup. I wanted a complete vertical slice — wallet flow, on-chain logic, backend state, and a responsive frontend — so you can study or fork a production-shaped codebase.

What it does

Wallet connect — players sign in with a Solana wallet
On-chain escrow and outcome resolution
Automated copy-trading strategy execution

Rust 1.70+ (edition 2021)
Linux / macOS: standard build tools (build-essential, Xcode CLI tools)
A Solana HTTP RPC endpoint (RPC_ENDPOINT) with good read performance

Architecture at a glance

Wallet layer — users connect a Web3 wallet to sign transactions
Feature — Wallet connect — players sign in with a Solana wallet
Feature — On-chain escrow and outcome resolution
Feature — Automated copy-trading strategy execution

User Wallet  →  On-chain Program  →  VRF / Settlement
                    ↓
              Backend (API + WebSockets)  →  MongoDB / state
                    ↓
                 Frontend UI (real-time)
