# Anti-Sniper Protection

### Overview

Anti-Sniper Protection is a launch module that applies a dynamic buy-tax at TGE to neutralize bot activity and opportunistic sniping during the critical early minutes of a launch.

The module is activated by default and is free.

### How It Works

* The buy-side tax starts at 99% and decays to 1% across the founder's chosen protection window.
* The protection window is configurable from 0 seconds to 98 minutes.
* The sell-side tax remains fixed at 1% throughout.
* All sniper taxes collected during the protection window are automatically used to buy back agent tokens onchain.
* The repurchased tokens are distributed to the team wallet, following a 3-month cliff and 9-month linear vesting schedule.

This structure protects early liquidity from bots and opportunistic snipers while converting initial volatility into long-term alignment for project founders.

### Configuration

Founders set the protection window duration during the creation phase. The decay rate adjusts automatically to reach 1% by the end of the chosen window.

Examples:

* 60-second window: tax decays from 99% to 1% across 60 seconds.
* 98-minute window: tax decays from 99% to 1% across 98 minutes (1% per minute).
* 0 seconds: no sniper protection applied. Trading tax is fixed at 1% from launch.

### FAQ

<details>

<summary>Does the sniper-tax buyback begin immediately after the tax drops to 1%?</summary>

Buybacks start automatically as soon as the configured protection window ends and the buy-side tax reaches the baseline 1%.

<details>

<summary>Is the collected sniper tax used in a single buy or over time?</summary>

Buybacks are executed gradually over a 24-hour period.

<details>

<summary>Can I change the protection window after launch?</summary>

No. The protection window is set during creation and cannot be modified after the Agent Launch Page is published.
