Sniper-Proof: How Baseline Makes Early Manipulation Unprofitable

One of the biggest threats to a token launch is sniping: when bots or insiders front-run the early trades to extract value, often before your community even has a chance to participate.

Rather than relying on blacklists, cooldowns, or centralized restrictions, Baseline solves sniping at the market level through a smart, automated liquidity engine that removes the incentive to snipe altogether.

How It Works: Dynamic Price & Liquidity Rebalancing

Baseline prevents sniping through an elegant system that pulls the active price back toward the EMA (exponential moving average) whenever someone tries to push it too far from fair value. This mechanism prevents the kind of runaway candles that snipers typically exploit at launch. At the same time, Baseline dynamically reshapes liquidity in response to the trade by thinning it out in the direction of the snipe while reinforcing liquidity closer to the EMA.

For example: If a sniper buys at $4 while the EMA is $1.80, the system quickly adjusts: the next buyer doesn't continue at $4, but instead gets filled at a lower price, around $2 or $3. The sniper, expecting to flip for profit, is now holding an overpriced position with no exit liquidity above them unless they’re willing to sell at a loss.

This is the core insight of Baseline's approach: instead of banning wallets or adding artificial delays, it makes sniping unprofitable through market design. The system auto-corrects mispriced trades, which removes the incentive to snipe in the first place. The result is smoother launches, better price discovery, and most importantly, the sniper becomes the exit liquidity.

Why This Matters for Founders

Launching a token is about more than price, it’s about momentum, trust, and legitimacy.

Sniping kills all three. Baseline gives founders peace of mind that their chart will reflect real demand, not manipulative behavior.

✅ Fairer price discovery

✅ Smooth early price action

✅ No rug-pull optics

✅ No post-launch panic

✅ Stronger community confidence

You don’t have to micromanage or add launch restrictions. The system defends itself and your project.
