Risk Disclosure
Last updated November 9, 2026
Memecoins are among the riskiest assets that exist. Most go to zero. Read this before you trade, and never trade money you cannot afford to lose completely.
You can lose everything
Memecoin prices can fall 90–100% in minutes. There is usually no product, no revenue and no floor. Liquidity can vanish, leaving you unable to sell at any price. Treat every position as money that may already be gone.
Scams are common
"Rug pulls" (creators draining liquidity), honeypots (tokens you can buy but not sell), fake socials, copycat names and inflated market caps are everyday occurrences. SnipeTrade's safety checks, holder data and badges are automated hints based on public data. They can be wrong and they can be gamed. A green badge is not a guarantee.
Execution risk
- Slippage: the price you get can be far from the price you saw, especially on new or thin tokens. Your slippage setting is a limit, not a promise.
- Failed or delayed transactions: network congestion can make trades fail or land late. Fees and tips paid to the network are not refundable.
- Front-running and bots: other participants may trade ahead of you.
- Price impact: your own trade can move the price against you on small pools.
Automation, orders and copy-trading
- Limit, take-profit and stop-loss orders may fill at a worse price than the trigger, or not fill at all if liquidity disappears. Orders that only run while the app is open will not fire if the tab is closed, asleep or offline.
- 24/7 on-chain limit orders lock your funds in a third-party program until they fill or you cancel; the trigger price is fixed in SOL terms, so its dollar value moves with SOL.
- Copy-trading follows another wallet's public actions with a delay. That wallet may be a bot, may be wrong, may be manipulating you, or may exit before you can. Past profit of any wallet says nothing about its next trade.
Self-custody risk
You control your keys, which means you also carry the risk. Lost passwords, lost backups, phishing, malware and approving a malicious transaction can all cost you your funds permanently, and nobody can reverse a blockchain transaction. Back up your in-app wallet key offline and never share it.
Technology and third-party risk
Smart contracts can have bugs or be exploited. Blockchains, RPC providers, aggregators and data providers can go down or return wrong data. SnipeTrade itself can have bugs. Any of these can cause losses.
Regulatory and tax risk
Rules for crypto assets change quickly and differ by country. Trading may be restricted or taxed where you live. You are responsible for knowing and following your local rules.
No advice, no guarantees
Nothing in SnipeTrade — rankings, trending lists, badges, leaderboards, points, trader reports or alerts — is a recommendation to buy or sell anything. We do not guarantee profits, and features that celebrate wins do not change the odds. If you are unsure, do not trade.
