I Sniped a Solana Token in 400ms — Here's the Full Tech Stack

Sniping a newly launched token on Solana is a high-stakes game that requires precision, speed, and a deep understanding of the ecosystem. Recently, I successfully sniped a Solana token in just 400ms — and I want to share the exact tech stack and strategies I used to make it happen. This article will dive deep into Jito MEV bundles, Jupiter routing, and Helius RPC, with practical code examples and lessons learned along the way.
