high-performance Solana copy-trading bot written in Rust

A high-performance Solana copy-trading bot written in Rust. It watches a target wallet’s on-chain activity and mirrors trades on Raydium and Pump.fun as soon as matching transactions appear.

I open-sourced solana-copytrading-bot for developers in Solana Web3 development. This post walks through what it does, how the pieces fit together, and how to run it locally.

Why I built this

• Automate trading or snipe strategies with a typed codebase
• Backtest ideas before deploying with real capital
• Extend the bot with your own risk rules and market filters

Most tutorials stop at a smart contract or a UI mockup. I wanted a complete vertical slice — wallet flow, on-chain logic, backend state, and a responsive frontend — so you can study or fork a production-shaped codebase.

What it does

• Wallet connect — players sign in with a Solana wallet
• On-chain escrow and outcome resolution
• Automated copy-trading strategy execution
• A high-performance Solana copy-trading bot written in Rust
• It watches a target wallet’s on-chain activity and mirrors trades on Raydium and Pump.fun as soon as matching transactions appear
• Rust 1.70+ (edition 2021)
• Linux / macOS: standard build tools (build-essential, Xcode CLI tools)
• A Solana HTTP RPC endpoint (RPC_ENDPOINT) with good read performance

Architecture at a glance

• Wallet layer — users connect a Web3 wallet to sign transactions
• Feature — Wallet connect — players sign in with a Solana wallet
• Feature — On-chain escrow and outcome resolution
• Feature — Automated copy-trading strategy execution

User Wallet  →  On-chain Program  →  VRF / Settlement
                    ↓
              Backend (API + WebSockets)  →  MongoDB / state
                    ↓
                 Frontend UI (real-time)

Tech stack

• Rust
• Solana
• WebSockets

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/DexCrancer/solana-copytrading-bot.git
cd solana-copytrading-bot

Setup steps:

1. Install dependencies (see README — typically npm install or yarn)
2. Copy .env.example to .env and fill in RPC, wallet, and API keys
3. Run local validator or point to devnet/mainnet as documented
4. Start the backend and frontend; connect wallet and create a test room
