[ SLANG ][ CRYPTO ][ NOUN ]
The effective cost ordinary buyers absorb from sniper bots front-running a token launch — buying at the absolute floor within milliseconds — distinct from bundler tax by coming from automated bots reacting to the launch rather than pre-coordinated wallets.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"The chart looks great until you realize the first thirty seconds were entirely sniper tax, bots front-running every real buyer."
LORE & ORIGIN
Named directly by traders analyzing launch mechanics, framing sniper-bot dominance of the earliest trades as an implicit cost imposed on human buyers who can't react at bot speed.
