  • Does Anita use WSOL or SOL ?

    • Anita utilizes both WSOL and SOL. In cases where your wallet lacks sufficient WSOL, Anita will automatically convert the investment amount into WSOL and utilize it for investing. However Anita uses SOL for the fees.

  • How do I get started on Anita with the most minimal risk and investment

    • Read Guides

    • Read FAQ

    • Get your key from @Anita Bot by typing in !info (!help for more info)

    • Open up a 3 to 5 newly launched coins from #new-pool-tracker, find the first tx/block people and get the average of all the fees. You will use this few when botting

    • Run the bot with 0.00001 as amount in, find a coin in #new-pool-tracker that will launch soon and see where your transaction lands. Adjust the fees, workers, delays accordingly

  • What is the difference between each module / when should one run what?

    • Raydium -> For sniping coins with a timestamp / scalping / manually buying and selling

    • Raydium Pre-Run -> For botting coins that dont have a timestamp

    • Raydium LP Add -> For botting coins that dont have a timestamp when LP is added

    • LMNFT -> For botting NFT's on LMNFT platform

    • AFK -> For botting every coin that matches your filter

  • How do I reset / get my key?

    • DM @Anita Discord bot in our server !help.

  • Why does my transactions always get timed out?

    • Increase your buy timeout, set it to false, or get a better node as your node is slow or your buy delays / workers are low

  • What is Jito?

    • Jito is essentially a bribe system. Instead of sending high priority fees you can send super low priority fee (just enough to land on the chain), and then have a bribe that is given to the validators in order to get your transaction approved faster. The best thing about Jito is that the fee is refundable and it will only be taken once the transaction is approved no matter how much tps you send.

  • I have Jito enabled but why aren't my transations Jito transactions?

    • Make sure that you have mev_protection set to true. By having just Jito set to true, it only sends one Jito transaction and the rest non-Jito transactions with the hopes that the Jito one will be confirmed before the non-Jito ones. By setting mev_protection to true, it ensures that max 5 TPS will be sent per Jito auth key consisting of only Jito transactions.

  • Does having more Jito keys help?

    • To a certain extent, yes. Having an ideal number of Jito keys does help with sending more tps, however at a certain point (around 10 keys), you should be more focused on the tip.

  • How do Jito fees work?

    • Jito fees are taken only once on confirmation

  • Anita says its buying and sending TPS however I do not see the transactions on Phantom?

    • Make sure that you are properly authenticated with your node and your node is fully functional.

  • Why does Anita spam transactions?

    • Every Solana bot including Anita spams transactions in order to be included in all the blocks as well as increase the chances of getting in sooner. If you want to lower the spam, you can lower the workers and delays. Keep in mind that after one confirms, you will still be charged the gas fees of the pending transactions as your node is still processing them / being sent to the blockchain.

  • What is a GPA node url?

    • In order for the bot to extract certain information from a coin, it preforms something called a GPA call and your node must support GPA in order for the bot to make this call. In order for nodes to support this GPA call, they have to buy 1 TB RAM which can be costly, especially if your running your own private node. Hence if your node supports GPA (most public/private nodes do such as Quasar, Astro, etc) , you can put the RPC node as the GPA node. If not then you can simply signup for helius and put that as the GPA node.

  • How do I calculate how much total fees I will be sending?

    • 1 worker should be 100 TPS (could be lower based on your node, etc) but assuming 1 worker = 100 TPS, total fees spent per second = workers * 100 * buy fee.

  • What are the hotkeys for selling?

    • In order to sell custom % of your holding tokens, you can hit 0 to 9 + enter or enter (if you want a specific hotkey % in your config file). 0 + enter will sell 100% of tokens, 1 + enter will sell 10% of tokens, and it increases by 10% every number you go up by.

  • I have MEV Protection enabled, why isn't it working?

    • Make sure that use_jito is also set to the same value as mev_protection. If mev_protection is true, use_jito should also be true. If mev_protection is buy, use_jito should also be buy.

  • I put use_jito as true, however my transaction was non-jito ?

    • When having just use_jito as true, it will spam the transactions however only one jito bundle is sent with hopes that it is approved before the non-jito transaction. If you want to enforce jito, you have set mev_protection to true.

  • Why can't I see the PNL and other values?

    • Make the bot full screen.

  • I resetted my key and it is accurate, why does the bot still say its invalid?

    • Make sure your time is in sync with time.is.

  • I keep on getting buy time outs on AFK mode, what can I do?

    • A buy timeout simply means that you were not able to buy the coin after xx milliseconds. You can increase this time, increase / fee, lower delay, increase workers and/or get a better node.

  • Why does the bot automatically close?

    • Make sure your config file is setup correctly with a valid private key, GPA node, node and websocket url. If your using Jito, make sure that you have a private key in the jito key pair auth and make sure that your rpc nodes are wrapped in [].

  • Why does Windows Defender say Anita is a virus?

    • It's a false positive. Anita is fully safe to use and you can run it on a server as a precaution. It is recommend to add Anita as an exclusion on windows defender.

  • What's the difference between Raydium and Raydium pre-running?

    • This questions arises frequently in the chat, so here is a nice example of why one will use Raydium pre-running. In most scenarios, the Raydium module serves as the primary choice. As you know tokens are released in the #unopened-pool-tracker and #new-pool-tracker and are attacked by snipers. By taking a closer look we see that some of the pools actually dont have a launch timestamp, but rather are launched at a random time / when owner decides. The tokens are first shown in #new-token-social-tracker, #market-tracker and #token-tracker. With all that being said now, here is the example.

    • Anita decides to launch a new coin named $SHAMPOO. However, she does not want snipers to snipe it and then to swiftly dump the token, thus harming early investors who believed in the project and bought presale. She wants pure community driven organic growth. Hence she decides to create the market and launch the coin after a delay, potentially at any moment in time. Despite this delay, potential investors possess the token in their wallets as well as the token address, attracting eager snipers eyeing a potential 1000x return.

    • In response, snipers resort to using the Raydium pre-running module. This Raydium pre-running module patiently awaits the market creation, or if already initiated, begins automated transactions targeting the coin. However, these transactions consistently fail as the pool remains inactive, resulting in the possibility of a huge cost on fees. Nonetheless, upon the eventual launch, whether it be in 10 minutes or 3 hours, successful sniping of the token is achieved and you have hit first block.

  • What are some good public nodes?

    • There are no good public nodes as they will often rate limit you at a limit of 30 to 100 requests per second which is why there is a market for private nodes, offering you a limit of around 2000 requests per second. However below are a couple of public nodes that can be used

    • Furthermore, Anita supports multiple node use! It will randomly pick one every transaction sent. Best to run 1-2 workers, more delay and fees if using a public node.

  • How do I sell tokens that I am currently holding?

    • In order to sell tokens that you are currently holding, you can launch the bot with manual buy as true and then hit 0-9 + enter or enter to sell.
