The truth about certain DEX token projects: on the surface, they appear to be operating normally—liquidity provision, token locking, DEX functionalities all in place. But once the core bot support is removed, the entire project collapses.
The mechanics behind these schemes are actually quite simple and brutal: bots cycle through operations—buy, sell, buy, sell—repeating until there are no more takers in the market. Sounds low-end? But the cost is not insignificant.
Just a single Solana node with a 10k cost is enough to execute this strategy. Ordinary retail investors have no chance to compete. That’s why some projects seem to be booming, but in reality, they are already controlled by pre-positioned players—high-frequency trading, liquidity exhaustion, last-minute buyers taking over. There are always enough prepared players in the market.
