Trading on Uniswap, a decentralized exchange powered by Ethereum, offers endless opportunities in the world of cryptocurrencies. However, it can also be a challenging endeavor, fraught with obstacles such as slippage, taxes, and gas fees. Many traders find themselves grappling with transaction failures and wondering why their orders didn't go through as expected.

In this blog, we'll delve into the nitty-gritty of these issues and introduce you to Mizar's Sniper Bot, a powerful tool designed to enhance your Uniswap trading experience.


Understanding the Uniswap Trading Quagmire

Uniswap trading can be a bewildering experience, especially for newcomers. Transaction failures can occur for various reasons, often leaving traders in the dark about the cause. The culprits behind these failed transactions range from low slippage tolerance and high taxes to inadequate gas fees and timeouts. Approvals and signatures also contribute to the complexity of trading on Uniswap. Additionally, sending multiple transactions simultaneously can lead to unintended interactions, causing transactions to interfere with one another.


Deciphering Slippage and Its Impact

Slippage is a crucial concept in Uniswap trading. It refers to the difference between the expected price of an asset at the time a trade is initiated and the actual executed price. Slippage occurs due to market volatility, and it can lead to unfavorable trade outcomes, especially when dealing with illiquid assets. Traders must set their slippage tolerance to account for price fluctuations and ensure their transactions are executed as intended.


Token Taxes: A Taxing Aspect of Trading

Tokens on Uniswap can come with various types of taxes, which affect the overall cost of trading. These taxes are typically incurred during buy or sell transactions and are designed to support the project, incentivize holders, or contribute to liquidity pools. Understanding the tax structure of a particular token is vital for estimating the true cost of a trade and ensuring that the expected gains align with the after-tax profits.


The Significance of Gas Fees

Gas fees are an integral part of Ethereum's blockchain. They are the charges incurred for processing transactions and executing smart contracts. Gas fees serve as incentives for miners to validate and include transactions in a block. The more complex and resource-intensive a transaction is, the higher the associated gas fee. Paying an insufficient gas fee can result in transaction failures or long delays.


The Mizar Sniper Bot Solution

Mizar's Sniper Bot is a game-changer for Uniswap traders. Read this article to learn how Mizar differs from the other sniper bots. It eliminates the frustrations associated with failed transactions by addressing the key pain points mentioned above:

  • Smart Gas: The Mizar Sniper Bot incorporates taxes into the slippage calculation, ensuring that slippage is only related to the actual market fluctuations. This feature optimizes your trading experience by reducing the likelihood that your transaction fails because of slippage.

  • Gas Priority Fee: Mizar's bot enhances transaction reliability by determining the optimal gas priority fee. It calculates the average gas fee of all transactions in the block you're swapping and adds a priority fee (based on your input) to ensure your trade is processed faster than the average.

  • Trade Management: The bot efficiently manages your trades by placing them into an internal queue. This innovation allows you to execute multiple trades in the same block without the risk of them getting stuck or interfering with one another.

  • Tax Detection: Mizar Token Sniffer goes the extra mile to safeguard your investments by detecting token taxes. This powerful tool can calculate the intrinsic taxes of a token and promptly alerts you when these taxes exceed 15%. 

  • User-Friendly Dashboard: Mizar offers a simple and intuitive dashboard for Uniswap traders. This dashboard includes Trading View charting for market analysis and provides comprehensive token information for informed decision-making.

  • Telegram Mini App (Coming Soon): Soon, you can access the Mizar Sniper Bot as a Telegram mini app, ensuring you can manage your Uniswap trades and stay updated on market developments directly from Telegram.


How to Set Up Your Sniper Bot with the Right Values

There are not right values, it all depends on your bot and trading strategy. However, to help you get started, Mizar has developed two preset settings that you can use: Standard and DeGen. You can begin with either of them and then customize your own settings as per your preferences.

Smart Slippage: Mizar's smart slippage already accounts for taxes, so the slippage value you set will be added on top of the tax. Striking the right balance is key – setting it too high may expose you to front-running, while setting it too low can result in failed transactions. The Standard preset typically has a 15% slippage, which is suitable for most trades. However, for more aggressive trading, the DeGen setting with 25% slippage is ideal, especially for sniping small liquidity projects. Remember, using lower or smart slippage with higher gas prices is the winning strategy.

Gas Priority: Gas priority plays a crucial role in determining how quickly your transaction gets processed on the blockchain. It's an essential consideration for ensuring your trades go through smoothly. Mizar offers two presets for gas priority. The Standard preset provides moderate to high-speed processing, typically at 10 gwei. It's suitable for most trading scenarios where speed is important, but not the absolute top priority. The DeGen setting is designed for traders looking to snipe highly hyped tokens and prioritize the fastest transaction processing. It offers faster speeds at 25 gwei, ensuring your trades are executed swiftly. Remember to have sufficient ETH in your wallet to cover gas fees when using this setting to prevent transaction failures.


Trading on Uniswap can be a rewarding venture, but it also comes with its fair share of challenges. Slippage, token taxes, and gas fees are among the hurdles that traders must navigate. However, Mizar's Sniper Bot empowers you to conquer these obstacles by providing smart solutions that enhance your Uniswap trading experience.
