“Why couldn’t you grab the $UPTOP 👾 at today’s 5 PM TGE?”

Well, here’s the catch: the first wallet to successfully snipe $UPTOP — 0xE6e...d9697 — had already set the game board 23 hours in advance.

It deployed a massive 4,996 “ammunition depot” wallets, each preloaded with $20 USD1, ready to fire at the exact moment of launch. The winning transaction? It only needed $1.5 in gas to outpace the rest.

Meanwhile, the unlucky? Left wondering how they ever stood a chance.

Just another reminder: in the memecoin jungle, it’s bots and prep work that win the war.
