# Sniper Guard

## How Sniper Guard Works

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/X9Usap6iR3riOScYgT6i" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

During launch, Sniper Guard continuously tracks the **total SOL amount bought by external wallets** (wallets not part of your launch plan).

When the configured threshold is exceeded, Proxima automatically triggers the selected action.

This system operates **in real time** and only affects launch execution logic it does not modify on-chain rules or token mechanics.

***

## Configuration

#### Enable Sniper Guard

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/KrvUDIYvLyIuj6xtyxTl" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

You can enable sniper guard from [Funding](/create-launch/funding.md)\
When enabled, Sniper Guard becomes active immediately during launch execution.

{% hint style="info" %}
This feature directly affects launch flow and should be configured carefully.
{% endhint %}

***

#### Max External SOL

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/FmmEWEyVt4UnZHYzfEKf" alt="" width="551"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Defines the **maximum total SOL** that external wallets are allowed to buy before an action is triggered.

Example:

* If set to `4 SOL`
* Once cumulative external buys reach `4 SOL`
* The selected trigger action is executed instantly

This value represents a **global threshold**, not per-wallet.

***

### Trigger Modes

When the external SOL threshold is exceeded, Sniper Guard executes **one of the following actions**:

#### Stop Buying

* Immediately stops further buy execution from your launch wallets
* External market activity continues normally
* Your remaining buy plan is halted

Recommended when you want to:

* Pause execution
* Preserve remaining capital
* Manually reassess the situation

#### Sell All

* Executes a full sell operation across participating wallets
* Designed as a last-resort safety mechanism
* Can optionally exclude the dev wallet

{% hint style="info" %}
This action is irreversible once triggered.
{% endhint %}

***

### Dev Wallet Protection

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/pfzufNQA7clBfvAyxkEd" alt="" width="551"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

#### Keep Dev Wallet

When enabled:

* Tokens held by the dev wallet are excluded from the Sell All action
* All other participating wallets are affected normally

This option only applies when **Emergency Exit** is selected as the trigger mode.

***

### Whitelist (Optional)

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/KRGTzsAaeKRfnI8rlhYo" alt="" width="551"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Allows you to exclude specific wallet addresses from being counted as “external”.

* Whitelisted addresses do **not** contribute to the external SOL threshold
* Dev, funder, MEV, and holder wallets are automatically whitelisted
* Additional addresses can be added manually

***

### Important Notes

* Sniper Guard only monitors **buy activity**
* It does not block external transactions at protocol level
* It reacts **within your execution layer only**
* All actions are logged and visible in launch activity

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.proxima.tools/create-launch/funding/sniper-guard.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
