Memecoins on Solana are becoming faster and more predatory, with sniper bots and coordinated accounts extracting value from retail users before they can react

"Galaxy's data shows that the median memecoin holding time is now around 100 seconds, down from roughly 300 seconds. Snipers and bundlers capture large portions of a token's supply in its first moments, then sell it once real demand emerges. The paper found sniper bots buying within the first one to five blocks of a token's launch, faster than any human can react."
