"On-chain Sniper: The 'snatch' tactics of clipper bots, revealing how they 'snatch' profits from your pocket!"
#### 1. Front-running: Like snatching the last discounted item in a supermarket!
Imagine you see the last discounted bag of chips in a supermarket, and just as you are about to check out, someone rushes in front of you and snatches it at a lower price, forcing you to buy it at full price. The clipper bot is like that 'snatcher', but thousands of times faster than a human!
How to operate?
- Monitor trading pools: Like waiting at the entrance of a supermarket, clipper bots constantly watch the 'pending order pool' on the blockchain.
- Snatch trade: When it detects someone wanting to sell a large amount of tokens at a low price (like a user wanting to buy 100 'Coin A' for 1 yuan), it immediately 'queues up' with a higher fee to buy these tokens first, artificially raising the price.
- Earn price differences: After users are forced to transact at higher prices, the bot immediately sells at a high price, just like you reselling chips for 2 yuan after snatching them.

#### 2. Sandwich attack: Your transaction becomes a 'sandwich cookie'!
Metaphor:
Your transaction is like a slice of bread, with clipper bots adding a slice of 'greedy filling' before and after you.
How to operate?
- Front-running: The bot buys the token you want to buy (like 'Coin B') first, pushing up the price.
- Your transaction: You buy as planned, but the price has already been driven up.
- Back-running: The bot immediately sells 'Coin B' at a high price after buying it, earning the intermediate price difference.
- Result: You become the middle layer of the 'sandwich cookie', and the bot makes money off your transaction!

#### 3. Cross-market arbitrage: Buying low in one market and selling high in another
Metaphor:
You find that the iPhone at Store A is 500 yuan cheaper than at Store B, so you immediately buy at Store A and sell at Store B, earning the price difference. The clipper bot is the 'smart arbitrage bot' of the blockchain world.
How to operate?
- Find price differences: The bot simultaneously monitors multiple exchanges (like Uniswap and Binance Smart Chain) to find price discrepancies for the same asset.
- Quick arbitrage: Transfer tokens from low-priced exchanges to high-priced exchanges at the lowest cost to earn the price difference.
- Cross-chain operations: If the exchanges are not on the same chain (like Ethereum and Solana), the bot will quickly move assets using a 'cross-chain bridge', just like a courier delivering across countries.

#### 4. Liquidity pool slippage: Creating 'price traps'
Metaphor:
You go to a gas station, and when you arrive, the gas price is 5 yuan/liter, but just as you are about to fill up, the staff suddenly says, 'The price has gone up to 10 yuan now!' You can only accept it helplessly.
How to operate?
- Keep an eye on liquidity pools: The bot locks onto trading pools with insufficient liquidity (such as the pool for token A and ETH).
- Create slippage: When it detects someone making a large transaction (like buying token A with 100ETH), it will first reduce the amount of token A in the pool, causing the price to skyrocket when the user trades (slippage).
- Low-priced snatch: After users are forced to complete transactions at high prices, the bot immediately buys the sold tokens at low prices, waiting for the price to recover before selling.

#### 5. High-frequency trading: 'Lightning-fast' arbitrage
Metaphor:
Clipper bots are the 'flash heroes' of the blockchain world, capable of completing operations that would take an ordinary person a minute in just 0.5 seconds.
How to operate?
- Low-latency weapon: The bot uses top-tier servers and optimized code to ensure that its transaction speed is 0.01 seconds faster than yours.
- High-frequency arbitrage: In moments of price fluctuations (like a 0.1% price increase), it can quickly buy and sell, earning slim but stable profits.
- Day by day: Repeating thousands of times daily, small profits can turn into big money!

### Why are ordinary users easy to be 'snatched'?
1. Information gap: You don't know someone is snatching your trade.
2. Speed difference: The bot uses supercomputers while you operate from your phone.
3. Cost difference: The bot can trade in bulk while you can only operate solo.
---
### How to avoid being 'snatched'?
- Small transactions: Don't buy too much at once to reduce the probability of being targeted.
- Use anti-clip tools: Such as PandaTool, which helps you hide transactions like a 'snatch alert system'.
- Be patient: Don't rush to place orders; wait until the price stabilizes before operating.

### Summary: Is the clipper bot an 'on-chain vampire'? Or a market lubricant?
Although clipper bots make ordinary users suffer losses, they also help the market become more efficient (such as narrowing the spread). However, the next time you see a token price suddenly skyrocket or plummet, don't be surprised—there's likely a 'clipper bot' laughing behind the scenes!
