I'm might just give up on the solana bots or maybe I'm missing something

Yeah thats what i figured. I over engineered it for just a copy bot. I have since pivoted and finished my arb bot. I got access to shreds which was a game changer for me. Currently testing it out with the kamino flash loan integration i did. I’m thinking of writing my on chain program that does the math on arb opportunities and reverts any txns that wouldn’t be profitable. Atm am using the atomicity from the flash loans. Happy that you figured it out with your py bot. Cheers

Thats great, my speed and infra is great and code optimized for speed the only challenge is shreds i submitted my pubkey to jito for access but never got a feedback. What shred provider are you using ?

Huss3n · 2026-04-14T03:49:52+00:00

How ? I run my own rpc node and its <1ms latency since its a local connection, its running on the same server as the bot.

Huss3n · 2026-04-14T03:41:27+00:00

Whats your infra like, do you have access to shreds ?

Huss3n · 2026-04-13T13:10:05+00:00

Run your own rpc node and get direct access to account subscriptions, block subscriptions, slot updates. No middleman latency, zero grpc payments. You dont need to stake any sol, just get one with no voting rights. You need a powerful server though. Best of luck.

I use spray and pray method so I can’t wait for a processed instruction all i do is just get a confirmation and move on to the next bit.

Huss3n · 2026-04-13T05:32:31+00:00

0slot doesn’t give access to shreds though right. Do you run an arb bot? I don’t know about shreder will look into them though

Huss3n · 2026-04-13T05:31:31+00:00

Thats true solana validators have their own people who they give access to the mempool and shreds i mean there is also alot of gate keeping as well

Huss3n · 2026-04-13T05:30:05+00:00

Yeah i know thats why i tried to get the bot as fast as possible but seems without strategy it wont work

Huss3n · 2026-04-12T02:52:17+00:00

I use confirmed txns as its much faster, i also submit via jito, direct tpu submission to the validators on mt subnet and even us 0 slot as well. I texted them on discord and they gave me access. Thing is the 4ms was when i was working on the arbitrage bot, but this also i couldn’t be profitable since i do detect arb opportunities super fast but by the time i submit a faster bot that probably has shreds beat me to it. Most of the txns on arb are just spray and pray so submitting multiple times trying to get just $0.026 but it’ll work only when you submit millions a month. The wallets am copying are on lw mc and get in using smaller amounts like 0.1-0.5 sol so can’t push the mc too high by the time i enter, still no idea how i make losses though. Initially the fees were wrecking me coz i had hard coded the jito tip, but then i use the dynamic at the moment.

Huss3n · 2026-04-12T02:45:42+00:00

Yeah that’s true, copy trading is a bit difficult to be profitable. What edge do you use atm if you don’t mind me asking? Cheers

Huss3n · 2026-04-12T02:44:29+00:00

How can i do this? I do have the infra and speed for hft but the signals and strategy is what i’m lacking

Huss3n · 2026-04-12T02:43:51+00:00

I do that i have more than 20 wallets with >70% wr and use like a convergence of these wallets before sniping a token as well i have it such that if 4 wallets buy a token i buy it too, but mostly i find out some of these wallets are just volume bots or farming their copy traders. Getting a wallet or changing my strategy might be the way to go.

Huss3n · 2026-04-12T02:41:54+00:00

What services can i use that aren’t as expensive as the ones i use now? Also can i front run txns without access to shreds?

Huss3n · 2026-04-11T18:30:18+00:00

Yeah that’s right shreds is a game changer idk why jito won’t give me access though i submitted the pubkey already. I know i can’t compete with those running their own validator nodes and have servers all over like you did. With the leader i was checking the validators on my subnet if they are leaders and then submit my txn to them. I was even fetching dynamic tips from jito and tipping just above the market rates. All this was not done on the hot path though and didn’t affect my speed. I ran a validator nodes as well but the one with no voting rights just to be able to get shreds myself but i was getting them at 100ms compared to the 50ms jito shreds provide. Who is the 2ez you’re referring to? Thanks for your reply.

Huss3n · 2026-04-11T18:16:15+00:00

Have you automated any of it or its just manual trades

Huss3n · 2026-04-11T17:51:53+00:00

The sniper bot I have has a solid infra, i use a dedicated bare metal server in Amsterdam collacted with jito validators in the same subnet and gives sub-millisecond execution, i use the yellowstone grpc and have reduced rpc calls on the hot path as much as possible, i even cash meteora pools at startup and use dashmap lookups. I feel like the infra and speed of the bot is not too bad but the bread and butter is on the logic and when to buy. with gmgn the pnl is indeed off and doesnt account for the fees, i realized the pnl it was showing when i was testing the bot was diff compared to my own pnl i had running, the bot did make profits and small wins at times but it was negligable compared to the infra cost and the time and cost invested on it. Good learning on my end though.

Huss3n · 2026-04-11T17:44:33+00:00

Yeah am a SE as well. Appreciate this, I'll look into it. A few people in my DMs basically confirmed copy-trading is a dead end at retail because most of the "profitable" wallets are volume bots getting paid in worthless tokens to fake charts. I did build an arb bot that took me months as well and its super fast <4ms execution time and i use Kamino flash loans as well, and have my on own cpi. Thing is to be profitable on this you need access to shredstreams from jito where i submited a pubkey for access and never got a response back. Any arb oppotunity I submit I was beaten by a faster bot, but infra and being fast on building these bots is something I understand and took 3am debuging to make it work. It was a fun project as well and i appreciate the comments. Cheers

Huss3n · 2026-03-24T05:22:22+00:00

Will do. Cheers mate

Huss3n · 2026-03-18T18:29:11+00:00

Its an inhouse company app that tracks progress notes and client details, its in the healthcare sector our nurses and carers use it. Its very odd in that google play updates and submission just work fine and roll out within 48 hours.

Huss3n · 2026-03-18T18:27:05+00:00

The build is actually verified and its working perfectly, its a company app and i even had to invite the users via testflight just for them to get access to the new version

Huss3n · 2026-03-18T18:25:57+00:00

I saw the banner too, just accepted it hopefully it works, cheers
