In March of this year, BOME achieved an impressive market capitalization of $1 billion three days after its launch and successfully listed on Binance. This milestone sparked a “get rich overnight” Meme phenomenon that quickly ignited the market, leading to a surge of similar projects. Within a few months, several Meme tokens, including MEW, NEIRO, GOAT, and PNUT, reached market caps exceeding $1 billion. Meme tokens have emerged as one of the most significant narratives and investment opportunities in this market cycle.

However, as the Meme market heats up, the pressure on on-chain transactions intensifies. Network congestion leads to delays in price updates on decentralized exchanges (DEXs), and Meme tokens’ price volatility often outpaces the speed at which manual traders can react. Even with higher slippage settings, transaction failures remain a common occurrence. In this environment, trading bots have rapidly become indispensable tools for Meme traders, offering the speed and efficiency required to navigate this volatile space.

This article presents a comprehensive overview of the top 10 popular Meme trading bots in the current market, highlighting their operational steps, key features, fees, security measures, and more. By the end, you’ll be equipped to choose the most suitable trading tool for your needs.

Trojan

TG Link: https://t.me/solana_trojanbot
Official Website: https://trojan.app/

Trojan, known initially as Unibot on Solana, was developed by Reethmos, the former community operations head of Unibot. It was initially a product under Unibot. Trojan supports more complex order types, such as copy trading and DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) strategies. It is currently the number one Telegram trading bot by trading volume, with a single-day trading volume reaching up to $198 million and transaction fees of $1.81 million in a single day. Currently, its trading volume remains stable at around $80 million.

Using Trojan is straightforward, and you can get started by following these four simple steps:

Step 1: Search for @solana_trojanbot on Telegram or click on this link: https://t.me/solana_trojanbot;
Step 2: Click the “START” button in the Telegram chat window, and the bot will automatically create SOL and ETH wallets for you;
Step 3: Save the wallet keys and fund your wallet with $SOL or $ETH;
Step 4: Check your trading settings. Once set, send the link from CA, Ticker, Birdeye, Dexscreener, or Dextools address to start trading!

Please keep the following points in mind: 1) The default setting is Advanced Mode, but you can switch to Simple Mode by clicking the settings. 2) Choose the gas fee priority: Fast, Ultra-Fast, or customize it according to your needs. 3) When confirming a transaction, if the status is green, click the Buy/Sell button to proceed; if the status is red, the transaction will automatically execute once you click the buy amount or sell percentage.

Trojan offers a range of features that make it highly user-friendly, especially for beginners. These include limit orders, one-click copy trading, and Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA). Users can set limit buy orders to “buy the dip” or limit sell orders to lock in profits. The one-click copy trading feature allows Trojan to track up to 40 wallets, providing an advantage over most other Meme trading bots. The DCA feature offers a smart approach to mitigating market volatility by enabling users to purchase Meme tokens at regular intervals, based on fixed amounts or quantities in line with their investment strategy and risk tolerance. This helps to average the investment cost over time. Trojan’s DCA functionality also supports the automatic order purchase, streamlining the process. Trojan also includes a built-in cross-chain bridge, allowing for smooth asset transfers between Ethereum and Solana networks.

Trojan charges a 1% transaction fee per trade, though users accessing the bot through referral links can benefit from a reduced fee rate of 0.9%. As for security, Trojan partners with the leading cybersecurity firm Trail of Bits and implements an ongoing security audit process. According to official statements, this continuous audit ensures the current system’s strength and identifies and addresses potential risks throughout the development and expansion stages, thereby enhancing the platform’s overall security.

BonkBot

TG Link: https://t.me/bonkbot_botOfficial Website: https://bonkbot.io/

BonkBot is a Telegram trading bot developed by the Bonk community, known for its simple and user-friendly interface. Powered by Jupiter’s routing technology and its proprietary routing logic, BonkBot can find the best available Meme prices across various DEXs on Solana. Its daily trading volume has reached as high as $246 million, with daily trading fees of $1.58 million, and its current trading volume remains stable at around $20 million.

Source: dune

The operation steps for BonkBot are very similar to Trojan. Users can search for @bonkbot_bot on Telegram or directly open the link https://t.me/bonkbot_bot to access the trading interface. BonkBot supports only the SOL chain. After funding your wallet with $SOL, you can send links from CA, pump.fun, or DEXs like Dexscreener to start trading.

BonkBot has partnered with Jito Labs to incorporate MEV (Maximum Extractable Value) protection, helping users effectively prevent front-running attacks. Users can choose between Turbo or Secure modes. Turbo mode focuses on optimizing trading speed while providing front-running protection, whereas Secure mode prioritizes MEV protection.

BonkBot charges a 1% trading fee. Through its referral system, users can earn a portion of the transaction fees as rewards—30% for the first month, 20% for the second month, and 10% for subsequent months. For security, BonkBot uses two-factor authentication (2FA) to protect sensitive operations such as SOL withdrawals and private key exports. It will also support Passkey (e.g., facial recognition) functionality in the future, ensuring asset safety even if the user’s Telegram account is compromised. Additionally, BonkBot’s non-custodial KMS system has been fully audited, including a third-party review by OtterSec. This provides maximum protection for users.

Maestro

TG Link: https://t.me/MaestroOfficial Website: https://www.maestrobots.com/

As an established player in the trading bot space, Maestro offers a robust suite of features, supporting a wide range of networks including Ethereum, BSC, Solana, Tron, Base, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Metis, Linea, and TON. Maestro organizes its bots into four main categories: Sniper Bots, Wallet Bots, Whale Monitor Bots, and Buy/Sell Monitor Bots. Among these, the Sniper Bot is the most commonly used for Meme trading. While Maestro’s trading volume was predominantly focused on Ethereum and its EVM-compatible chains before March of this year, the surge in Meme trading on the Solana network has led to a significant increase in Solana’s trading volume. At peak times, Solana’s share of Maestro’s total trading volume has even surpassed 70%.

Source: dune

Using the Maestro Sniper Bot is more complicated. After searching for @Maestro on Telegram or directly opening the link https://t.me/Maestro, users must input “/sniper”. The bot will then require them to join the channels @MaestroSniperUpdates, @MaestroBots, and @MaestroBotsHub. Once these steps are completed, users need to switch to the target network (e.g., Ethereum) via the “Chains” option in the main menu, and then generate or connect a wallet. After saving or importing the mnemonic, fund the wallet with the native token of the chosen network (e.g., ETH) and send the CA to start trading. The Maestro Sniper Bot interface is relatively complex, with an overall interaction process that can be somewhat cumbersome, presenting a learning curve. It is more suitable for professional investors. If you’re interested, you can refer to the official user guide to set up the specific parameters.

Source: maestrobots

The Maestro Sniper Bot offers a wide array of features. In addition to buy and sell functions, it includes Anti-Rug, one-click copy trading, and multi-wallet purchase settings. The Anti-Rug function currently supports only Ethereum and BSC. When the bot detects a potential Rug pull transaction that might prevent the user from successfully selling, it will attempt to front-run that transaction. However, the Anti-Rug feature does not work if the Rug pull transaction is sent privately. Maestro also supports setting up multiple wallets, allowing users to purchase simultaneously with a single click. This is particularly useful for handling small-scale sniping with single transactions or single wallet limits. Basic users can use one main wallet and two additional wallets, while advanced users can utilize up to ten wallets.

Maestro also charges a 1% transaction fee, and users can earn a 25% commission from the trading fees of their referrals. For security, Maestro encrypts all private keys using AES encryption to ensure server security. In addition to 2FA, Maestro uses Anti-Rug and proactive fraud detection mechanisms to ensure seamless and secure trading for its users.

Banana Gun

The steps are straightforward: paste the contract address you want to target into @BananaGunSniper_bot, specify the amount of ETH you want to spend, and choose either the traditional or fast mode. When sniping Memes with Banana Gun, there are several important parameters to consider:

1. Auto Snipe Miner Tip: Tip for miners who are willing to snipe memes before they go live.
2. Manual Buyer Extra: Extra tip for miners when manually purchasing.
3. Slippage: Slippage when buying memes.
4. Sell Extra: Extra tip for miners when selling.

Banana Gun charges transaction fees based on the trade type: 0.5% for manual purchases and 1% for auto-sniping. Regarding security, the official documentation highlights three key features integrated into the bot. Firstly, Banana Gun incorporates an MEV (Miner Extractable Value) protection mechanism, effectively shielding users from vulnerabilities such as sandwich attacks, front-running, and other forms of exploitation during transactions. Secondly, it offers reorg protection, which defends against block reorg attacks—situations where blockchain transaction records are altered or reversed. Lastly, Banana Gun has built-in anti-scam protection, leveraging a simulated trading function to guard users against token scams right from starting a trade. If the simulation fails, the system automatically blocks the transaction, thus minimizing the user’s risk.
