# Snipers

Telegram-based trading tools such as UniBot, BananaGun and Maestro have not only introduced quicker and better alternatives to buy new tokens vs. Uniswap and other decentralized exchanges, they have also popularized and 'democratized' the concept of 'sniping'.\
\
Sniping a token is the process of setting up a wallet to immediately buy a token once liquidity is added or trading is enabled. By 'sniping' a token, investors aim to be one of the first wallets to buy a coin, potentially increasing their profits exponentially.\
\
While sniping platforms started as web-based solutions, often only available to very advanced traders and requiring a significant amount of technical knowledge, the aforementioned providers have made it easy to set up wallets in Telegram and use these to automatically snipe new launches.\
\
The problem with Telegram-based tools for sniping, however, is the fact that you still need a seperate platform to track new pairs, scan them and review whether or not you want to 'snipe' these tokens. Moreover, as mentioned earlier, many users do not use Telegram, let alone trade with them or trust them with their private keys. As such, the team behind Triton sees a signifcant opportunity to create a fully web-based all-in-one platform to offer these trading services, essentially marketing to any investor who wishes/prefers to snipe tokens via their computer and through a web-based platform. \
\
As such, Triton introduces the premier all-in-one sniping platform, through an extremely easy-to-use and best-in-class UI and UX. Note that our Sniping version, which is further detailed in the [Triton Sniper](../our-solution/triton-sniper) chapter, is still in its early phases. To improve speed and usability, we continuously will add features, including a 'bribe' system, that in some cases can improve your position in the 'Sniping Queue'.
