# Anti-Bot & Snipe Mechanisms

Fairlaunch.gg combines **on-chain randomness**, **AI detection**, and **mechanical safeguards** to eliminate bot exploitation and snipe tactics that dominate most token launches.

#### **1. Temporarily Stored Orders**

* Buy orders are **held and revealed together** after the buy window closes.
* Prevents bots from gaining a timing advantage based on blockchain mempool data.
* **Impact:** Eliminates time-based sniping.

#### **2. $FLX Staking for Trusted Access**

* Projects can require **$FLX staking** to bypass anti-bot gates.
* In congested launches, stakers may receive a slight boost in selection odds.
* **Impact:** Encourages long-term ecosystem engagement while keeping fairness intact.

#### **3. Wallet Rate Limiting**

* Enforces **1 order per wallet per launch**.
* Stops whales and botnets from splitting orders across hundreds of accounts.
* **Impact:** Reduces allocation monopolization.

#### **4. AI Wallet Detection**

* Machine learning models identify abnormal patterns such as split wallets, coordinated purchases, and suspicious transaction speeds.
* Flagged wallets can be blocked or require manual review.
* **Impact:** Prevents sophisticated botnets from bypassing basic protections.

#### **5. Verifiable Random Selection**

* Uses **VRF** to ensure allocation can’t be predicted or influenced.
* Randomness proof is **publicly viewable** on-chain.
* **Impact:** Guarantees unbiased selection even after all other filters.

#### **6. Delayed Claiming**

* Introduces a small cooldown before tokens can be claimed.
* Discourages immediate dumping and stabilizes market sentiment.
* **Impact:** Protects post-launch chart health.
