◆ FOR COPY-TRADING BOTS
Solana infrastructure for copy-trading bots.
A copy-trading bot needs a clean loop: watch selected wallets, decide what is safe to follow, build its own transaction, send it, and reconcile the result.
◆ THE WORKLOAD
What decides the outcome.
A production copy-trading bot does more than repeat a transaction. It watches an allowlist of leader wallets, identifies relevant swaps or position changes, checks token, venue, size, slippage, and exposure rules, then builds and signs a new follower transaction. After submission it must track confirmation and update local state without executing the same leader action twice.
- A filtered transaction stream removes the need to poll every watched wallet and reduces the unrelated payload your parser must handle.
- Processed updates arrive earlier but can be dropped on a fork. Treat detection, submission, and confirmed reconciliation as separate states instead of assuming the first notification is final.
- The follower transaction needs its own quote, slippage limit, priority fee, size rule, and idempotency key. Copying bytes from the leader is neither reliable nor a risk policy.
- For this workload, a stable filtered stream and a measured send path matter before the fastest possible shred feed. Benchmark that upgrade only after the basic loop is correct.
