A recent analysis by blockchain data firm Bitquery indicates that bot sniping of meme coins has not effectively decreased following the reduction in Solana's block time. Data shows that in a sample before the final 200-millisecond block time reduction, 53% of new Pump.fun coins received external purchases within approximately 1.3 seconds, compared to 52% afterward. Concurrently, sandwich attack patterns persisted in sampled transactions, even slightly increasing between September 19 and October 7.
