IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE RUNNING THE BOT
-
The bot uses a wallet address and see phrase - this needs to be the FIRST ACCOUNT (Account0 by default) that was created by default when you installed metamask on your pc / macbook.
- if this is NOT configured correctly you will get an error that says "(node:45320) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: insufficient funds for intrinsic transaction cost"
-
Make sure you have the following assets in your MetaMask wallet FOR THE ACCOUNT ADDRESS WITH WHICH YOU ARE USING THE BOT
- BNB (this is needed for gas)
- WBNB (this is used to purchase the desired token)
- IF you want to TEST the bot using WBNB / BUSD, then ADD the BUSD custom token to your MetaMask (0xe9e7cea3dedca5984780bafc599bd69add087d56)
- Run the bot using the to_Purchase value of the BUSD token contract. This works because liquidity is frequently added to this pool.
-
APPROVE WBNB in your MetaMask
- you need to approve your wallet to spend WBNB in order for the bot to be able to make purchases
- to do this, go to pancakeswap, and in FROM put WBNB, and in the TO put elongate (0x2A9718defF471f3Bb91FA0ECEAB14154F150a385), and click 'Approve'.
- confirm the transaction in MetaMask
- Now WBNB should be approved, and the purchase transactions the bot will make on your wallets behalf using WBNB will not fail.
BOT SETUP & CONFIGURATION INSTRUCTIONS
-
Download & Install Node.js - https://nodejs.org/en/ - 14.16.1 LTS is fine

-
install node dependencies
- open command prompt
- cd C:\users\username\Downloads\pancakeswap-sniping-bot\
- npm init
- npm install ethers
- npm install chalk
- npm install express
-
open package.json file inside your directory, example C:\users\username\Downloads\pancakeswap-sniping-bot, and make sure it contains:

- the amount of WBNB of the token you want to purchase on line 14
- the slippage required to purchase the token on pancakeswap on line 15
- you will need to MAKE SURE the slippage is set correctly for each token you plan to purchase

-
save the changes to bot.js
-
