Tutorial: How to Use Meme Token Sniping Tools to Catch the Next 1000x Coin

Recently, the meme coin market has been surging with explosive momentum. New memes are launching non-stop, covering everything from AI to DeSci, abstract art to mathematical formulas. As hype cycles accelerate, the difficulty of profiting from meme coins is also on the rise.

In today’s meme market, success depends not only on luck—but also on speed, sharp instincts, and the ability to track smart money. In this high-risk, high-reward landscape, even a slight delay can mean missing out on a 1000x opportunity, while one misstep can land you in a rug pull. Given the time and mental bandwidth manual tracking requires, using the right tools to enhance decision-making has become essential for every player.

Now that tools like Abot have shut down and dexx has suffered major issues, many are wondering: beyond GMGN, what other reliable tools offer real-time alerts and smart money tracking?

Photon Trading

Photon is a powerful tool for monitoring primary (internal) markets and supports five chains: ETH, SOL, TRON, BASE, and BLAST. Once you connect your wallet, Photon generates a new trading wallet—make sure to back up your private key. You can then transfer SOL into this wallet (only what you’re willing to trade).

On the trading dashboard, you’ll see newly launched tokens from the past 24 hours with key data like launch time, liquidity, FDV, and trading volume. The top-left filter allows for refined searches, while the Quick Buy function on the right streamlines purchase flow for faster execution.

Photon also features a “Trending” page to track the top 100 tokens by activity, with a variety of filters and sorting options.

In the Settings tab, users can pre-configure trading parameters such as buy/sell behavior and slippage. Photon charges a 1% fee per trade (simple transfers are free).

Chain.fm

Chain.fm is a smart money tracker that organizes wallet activity into thematic “channels.” Each channel monitors a curated list of smart wallets. Subscribing to a single channel lets you monitor hundreds of high-signal wallets at once—greatly improving your information efficiency.

Channel creators label wallets with tags like “Dip Buyer” or “Early Minter.” With the platform’s multi-channel aggregation, users can avoid redundant data and view cross-channel tags for deeper analysis.

Once familiar with the platform, users can register (currently invite-only) to unlock more features, such as email or Telegram alerts. You can obtain an invite code via the author’s Twitter DMs or by donating 0.3 SOL.

Once invited, you can configure alert rules, create wallet collections, and monitor them collectively for easy tracking and analysis.

DingCat

DingCat is a CreatorDAO project focused on grouping, following, and real-time alerting. After connecting your Telegram account, a new wallet is generated—again, save the private key and keep funds minimal.

The Signal page displays real-time activity from selected Gangs (wallet groups), such as meme coin buys and sells. The top bar shows trending tokens actively purchased by smart wallets you follow.

On the right panel, you’ll see alerts when multiple wallets buy into the same token—great for identifying hot trends. Discover, Smart Money Group, and Watchlist pages offer more detailed views.

You can create custom Gangs by importing wallet addresses in bulk. Once created, they’ll appear on your homepage for easy editing and sharing.

DingCat’s personalized alert system is part of a paid Plus Plan, allowing users to track more wallets, create more groups, and customize alert types and timeframes. Quick Buy options improve execution speed, while real-time alerts ensure you never miss an important move.

Defined

Backed by Alliance and championed by a16z founder Shaw, Defined is a trading tool designed to rival Dexscreener—but with better market response and more refined filters.

It supports over 60 chains, including emerging networks like Berachain, aiming to be the first mover in supporting new ecosystems.

What sets Defined apart is its seamless Telegram Bot integration and mobile support. With the Defined_Bot, users can track smart money wallets, receive real-time alerts, and even trade directly within Telegram after connecting their Defined account.

Defined_Bot supports multi-chain interactions across ETH (Uniswap V2/V3), Solana, and more. You can buy/sell tokens, view wallet holdings, set slippage, and even place limit orders with the ability to cancel or discard later.

Standard trading fees are 1%, but holding $DUNG (Scarab platform token) provides discounts—down to 0%.

These are some of the best meme token sniping tools currently available. By integrating them into your trading workflow, you’ll be better positioned to catch the next 1000x meme gem before the crowd does.
