# volume bot

> automated volume generation

# volume bot

runs buy/sell cycles across multiple wallets to generate consistent trading activity on your token. each wallet trades independently with randomized timing and amounts.

## how it works

```
wallet 1:  buy 0.002 → wait 8s → sell → wait 12s → buy 0.001 → ...
wallet 2:  wait 5s → buy 0.003 → wait 10s → sell → wait 7s → ...
wallet 3:  buy 0.001 → wait 15s → sell → wait 6s → buy 0.002 → ...
```

all timing and amounts are randomized within the configured range. each wallet operates independently — no coordination pattern visible on-chain.

## launch integration

when enabled in the launch config, the volume bot starts automatically after token creation:

```
block 0:     create + dev buy + bundles
block 1-3:   snipes + swarm
block 3+:    volume bot starts running ← automatic
```

volume wallets are prefunded from the dev wallet before launch, same as all other wallet types.

## standalone usage

you can also start/stop the volume bot on any token at any time from the dashboard or via the mcp tools:

* `run_volume_bot` — start a session
* `stop_volume_bot` — stop by session id

each session returns a `session_id` you use to stop it later.

## config

| param                 | what                    | default  |
| --------------------- | ----------------------- | -------- |
| **token\_mint**       | target token            | required |
| **wallets**           | must be `volume` type   | required |
| **sol\_per\_trade**   | sol per buy/sell cycle  | 0.0001   |
| **duration\_minutes** | how long to run         | 60       |
| **intensity**         | `low`, `medium`, `high` | `medium` |

## intensity

| level      | trades/min per wallet | notes                                        |
| ---------- | --------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| **low**    | 1-2                   | slow drip. good for low-cap tokens.          |
| **medium** | 3-5                   | looks natural. recommended for most tokens.  |
| **high**   | 8-12                  | aggressive. use with caution on small pools. |

## what vamp does to the volume bot

when you [vamp](/platform/vamp-recovery), the system automatically:

1. stops all running volume bot sessions
2. sells all tokens held by volume wallets
3. closes empty token accounts (recovers rent)
4. sweeps all sol back to the destination wallet

you don't need to manually stop the bot before vamping — it's handled.

## tips

* 5-10 wallets with 0.01-0.05 sol each is a solid setup
* medium intensity for most tokens — high intensity on small pools can look artificial
* the bot automatically handles buy/sell rotation — no manual intervention needed
* stop the bot before you sell your own position to avoid buying into your own dump
