Sniper

Sniper, also called Solsniper, was a site at sniper.xyz for trading Solana memecoins and NFTs. It is not SOL Sniper Bot at solsniper.com. That is a separate bot with no link to this project. Sniper began as a tool for NFT traders and later closed its NFT market. Phantom CASH$0.9990.0% bought it in August 2025. Today the old site is gone. sniper.xyz now sends visitors to Phantom Terminal, Phantom's own trading site, and Sniper's help docs no longer load.

Is Sniper.xyz (Solsniper) still working?

No, not as its own product. When we checked on 5 November 2026, sniper.xyz sent visitors on to trade.phantom.com. The old NFT marketplace address also redirects, but to a page that no longer loads. The older solsniper.xyz domain points to sniper.xyz, so it ends up at Phantom too. The docs site, docs.sniper.xyz, no longer exists.

The Solsniper account on X has not posted anything of its own in the past year. It only reposts Phantom news, and the last repost was in April 2026.

Phantom's help page still says Solsniper "will remain online with no significant change". That page dates from the acquisition and has not caught up with the redirect. The Telegram bot (@sniperxyzbot) still has a page, but we could not confirm that it still trades.

Solsniper and Phantom: the acquisition and Phantom Terminal

Phantom announced the deal on 4 August 2025. It did not say what it paid. Phantom said Solsniper let users track wallets, watch new tokens and react fast when prices moved. Co-founder and CEO Max Zhuang and his team joined Phantom. At the time, Phantom said the site would keep running. The Block noted that Phantom had bought the data firm SimpleHash in February 2025.

In November 2025, Phantom launched Phantom Terminal in beta at trade.phantom.com. It is a desktop site for trading memecoins, hot new tokens and perps. It has TradingView charts, limit orders, watchlists and profit tracking. Perps trades can also take stop-loss and take-profit orders. Positions sync with the Phantom phone app.

Phantom's post does not name Solsniper. But SolanaFloor reported that Solsniper's former CEO hinted his team built Phantom Terminal. The sniper.xyz redirect now sends Sniper's users there. That makes Phantom Terminal the closest thing Sniper has to a successor.

What the Solsniper trading terminal did

Sniper's web terminal let traders find new Solana tokens and buy or sell them fast. A Telegram bot let people trade from a phone. In June 2025 Sniper added QuantGPT, an AI helper that answered questions about tokens and the market.

When Phantom bought it, Phantom's help page listed three products. They were the web trading site, tools that tracked social media buzz, and QuantGPT. Sniper's docs held the full feature list, but they are offline, so the list here sticks to what Phantom confirmed.

Sniper NFT marketplace: what it was and why it closed

Sniper began as an NFT tool. A Gate Learn guide says its market worked like a stock exchange order book. Buyers named the price they would pay, and sellers named the price they would take. Users could also list NFTs on Magic Eden, Tensorswap, OKX and Hadeswap from the same screen. Gate says Sniper was the first platform to offer candle price charts for NFT trading. Buyers could pay in other Solana tokens, not just SOL.

On 12 June 2025, the team said it had "not been able to sustainably run the NFT marketplace". It said it would delist every NFT and cancel every open bid. NFTs and bid balances would be back in users' wallets by noon Pacific time on 13 June. Users did not need to do anything.

Is Solsniper legit or safe? Risks and look-alike sniper bots

Sniper was a real product. Venture funds backed it, according to Gate Learn, and Phantom bought it in 2025. Today the main risk is mixing it up with other tools that use the same name.

• Look-alike names are the biggest trap. A search for "Solsniper" also turns up SOL Sniper Bot at solsniper.com. That site does not say who runs it, and it has no stated link to sniper.xyz or Phantom. Many other "sniper bot" sites show up too. A site that asks for your SOL or your private key under the Sniper name is not this project.
• The Telegram bot's status is unknown, and the team no longer runs Sniper. Don't send it new funds unless Phantom confirms it is live.
• The custody model can no longer be checked. Sniper's docs, which explained how its web app and Telegram bot handled wallets, are offline.
• Old NFT orders should already be settled. The team said all NFTs and bid funds would go back to users by 13 June 2025. If something is missing, Phantom's help page lists [email protected].
• Our records list one Sniper program, SNPRohhBurQwrpwAptw1QYtpFdfEKitr4WSJ125cN1g (Sniper Market). We could not check who has the right to change its code, so we make no claim about who controls it.

Phantom Terminal has the usual risks of fast trading. Memecoins can lose most of their value in minutes. Leveraged perpetuals can wipe out a position. Phantom says Terminal is not open to UK users, and perpetuals have more regional limits.

Who Solsniper suited, and who Phantom Terminal fits now

Sniper was built for active Solana traders who wanted to find tokens, check them and trade them from one screen. That included NFT traders who were used to order books and charts. Nobody can sign up for it as a separate product today.

Phantom Terminal now fits the same kind of trader if they already use the Phantom wallet. It suits someone who trades memecoins and perpetuals on a desktop and wants positions to carry over to the phone app. It doesn't fit UK residents, and it isn't an NFT marketplace.

Solsniper alternatives: Phantom Terminal, Axiom and Magic Eden

• Phantom Terminal is the direct successor, run by the company that bought Sniper. It is the closest option for people who already use the Phantom wallet.
• Axiom is a separate Solana trading terminal for memecoins and perpetuals. SolanaFloor called it the market leader among trading terminals in August 2025.
• Magic Eden ME$0.047-9.8% is the place to trade Solana NFTs now that Sniper's order-book marketplace has closed. It was one of the marketplaces Sniper let users list on.

Solsniper team, funding and history

• December 2021: the idea for Sniper took shape, according to Gate Learn. It started as Sol Sniper, an analytics tool for Solana NFT traders, and later rebranded to Sniper at sniper.xyz. The team's June 2025 post says it went on to add a mobile app, an NFT aggregator, a marketplace and a launchpad.
• Funding: Gate Learn reports about $6 million from Infinity Ventures Crypto (which put in $5 million), Foresight Ventures and FTX Ventures. It also puts the core team at six people.
• June 2025: QuantGPT launched on 5 June. The NFT marketplace closed on 12-13 June.
• August 2025: Phantom announced the acquisition on 4 August, with CEO Max Zhuang's team joining Phantom. Phantom's CEO talked about the company's acquisition plans on Lightspeed around the same time.
• November 2025: Phantom Terminal launched in beta at trade.phantom.com.
• By November 2026: sniper.xyz redirects to Phantom Terminal and the docs site is offline.

Sniper never launched its own token, and no source we found describes one. Be wary of any "Sniper" or "Solsniper" token claiming to be linked to this project.
