p sure the answer is yes you just gotta listen for the pending tx (through a provider cause we can't access Base sequencer directly) -- when flashblocks come out it'll be a lot harder though https://chatgpt.com/canvas/shared/6834e459e0a88191984b4b357498462a

both easier and more complex than this, but that's the basic idea! high level 1. pick your people of interest 2. wait for them to clank 3. immediately snipe 1. pick your people of interest conceptually easy, but remember that the creator argument can be set to anything by anyone. so you'll need some extra filtering to avoid getting phished 2. wait for them to clank you can listen for pending txs or spam base blocks. l2 fees are cheap (esp compared to sniper payout) so we've seen this in the past 3. immediately snipe most people here use a smart contract that they can call to provide idempotency and other logic like calling `getTokensDeployedByUser` to get the latest token addr. this part is interesting because you actually shouldn't pass in the max gas! to land in the same block as the token deployment, your tx has to land _after_ the token deployment (so prio gas has to be lower). advanced snipers roughly know which blocks will hit and spam multiple txs/block happy to go deeper on any part of this too

love this, thank you!!!! it was a worthwhile experiment for me cause i finally got to learn what people mean when they say base is decentralized

the other thing i was thinking about is looking for creations via the bot on the fc stream, since i have a snapchain setup already, that would deal with the verification of the account

just a few friendly forward facing notes: (1) in v4 (on launch) we're introducing a 2 block per pool swapping delay so same-block sniping will no longer work. we don't want people spamming base for same-block searching as it degrades the overall performance of the chain when done en masse (2) we're introducing as a followup (probs a month or two post v4) explicit sniper auctions where snipers will have to pay additional fees to be the first snipe (as explained in this writeup:https://hackmd.io/@lobstermindset/rkwlyMpkgl)

yeah exactly, I suspect that advanced snipers are doing this + watching pending txs but have no way to verify watching the bot on the fc stream should be enough to prevent phishing because you'll have a trusted msg.sender (the bot) and know the correct fid
