Solana Token Tracker

Solana Token Tracker is a TypeScript-based tool that monitors new token creation events specifically within the Raydium decentralized exchange ecosystem on the Solana blockchain. The tool listens to blockchain logs to detect new token signatures associated with Raydium's liquidity pools and stores relevant data such as creator information and token balances.

This project uses the Solana Web3.js library to interact with the Solana network and track token transactions involving Raydium's liquidity pools.

Potential Use Case: Sniper Bot Development

This tool can be incredibly useful for developing a Sniper Bot. By monitoring new tokens added to Raydium's liquidity pools, it allows you to find new tokens as quickly as possible. This gives you an edge in reacting to early token listings, which is crucial for Sniper Bot strategies.

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/FriedDev/solana-token-tracker.git
cd solana-token-tracker

2. Install Dependencies

npm install

3. Configure RPC Endpoint

Create a .env file in the project root:

# Mainnet RPC Endpoint (recommended)
RPC_ENDPOINT=https://mainnet.helius-rpc.com/?api-key=your-api-key
RPC_WEBSOCKET_ENDPOINT=wss://mainnet.helius-rpc.com/?api-key=your-api-key
